This may not be of too much help, but do you have a Costco near you in Ohio? I live in Chicago and Costco has had tri-tip since I joined 1.5 years ago. Normally they sell it sliced into long strips (don't ask me why), which I have grilled in the past. I noticed a few months ago they started...

Oops, sorry for not finishing what I started Well, I am believe I pulled it off after about 4.5 hours. I held 325-350 fairly easily most of the time, only had to stir it up a few times. Although I was just about out of charcoal when I pulled it off, and I started with one lit Weber...

Self-basting. Wanted to try a brine but I also wanted to smoke a few hours after purchase so I went with this one. Jamie

Well, I picked up a fresh Honeysuckle White brand tom turkey weighing in at 19.62 lbs @ $.77/lb at a local Chicago grocery store (also grabbed a frozen 22 lb Jennio turkey for $.48/lb for later use). Rubbed it down with a bit of olive oil, added light coating of Famous Dave's Poultry Rub to...

I just bought 5 butts at Dominick's at Western and Roscoe last week as they were on sale for $.99/lb. I asked the manager behind the meat counter if they had any untrimmed in cryovac so he brought me out some. They come with 2 butts in each pack so I bought 2 packs, each weighed right around...

I can attest to the joys of waiting till it hits above 190, like night and day. Amazing what a difference 10-20 degrees can make Why not grab a second butt and then if you can't wait you can pull one and let the other keep going to see for yourself! I have 4 butts (tad over 30lbs for a tad...

Interesting. I know they sell the country style ribs at CostCo here for $1.99/lb but I guess next time I will ask if they can pull any whole butts from the back and see if they will charge less than they do for the processed version. Beats searching high and low through the grocery stores only...

I never use gloves of any kind when pulling. I usually let the butts rest a bit after cooking and use tongs and my hands to seperate it into chunks. Then simply use my bare hands to pull as it seems to be cool enough to handle. Every now and then you need to pull the hands out for a bit, and...

"Pork Shoulder Blade Boston Roast" is a butt, same cut of meat in the cooking section of the site. Just curious but how much per lb was the butt at CostCo? I kinda thought most CostCo stocked the same types of meats, but as I have never seen whole butts at the one in Chicago I am guessing I...

This is a side dish that I saw on Ina Garten's show on Food TV. Made it last night with some steaks and thought it was very good. This recipe makes enough for quite a few people as a side dish. 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter 5 cups fresh yellow corn kernels cut off the cob (6 to 8 ears)...

Yep, I removed the membrane, so I'll just stick to the fact that they were stubborn. They are looking pretty good though, guess ya just have to earn it sometimes, keeps ya honest Jamie

So when I went to roll my 6 racks of baby backs to fit them all on the WSM I had an difficult time getting some of them to come together. I think it is because there seems to be an awful lot of meat on the meat side, so they weren't too flexible. For two of the racks I had to roll them with...

Well, first time I used my WSM I had 3 racks on baby backs on top rack and 2 butterflied chickens on the bottom, rubbed with a store bought rub (let rest overnight). That time I cooked them for 4 hours with the dome temp at around 250. Earlier this week I made 2 butterflied chickens, same rub...

I roll my ribs on the WSM and then for maybe the last 30 minutes or hour of the cook I lay them flat and they come back to shape right away for me. Usually I roll them because I have something else cooking on one of the racks so when that comes off I have more room to spread them out and I find...

I wanted to try smoking some salmon, and CostCo seems to have the best deal on the fish. However, their salmon comes in whole filets but it has no skin. I am going to ask and see if it is possible to get some with skin, but if not do you think simply placing it on foil with a bit of oil will...

Jeff- I butterflied and then cut each bird in half as it seemed like they would pack on a grill better that way. I placed the breast end in the center and fit all 4 halfs that way. Plus I figured that since it seems to be hotter around the outside of the water pan, having the legs/thighs over...

Jeff- For my first cook I did 3 racks of spares on the top rack and 2 butterflied chickens on the bottom. Chicken was on for about 4 hours and ribs on for 6 or so. If you want to do both, go for both. I just finished my chicken on the gas grill for a few minutes a side with sauce and to crisp...

Gary- I have never seen this there (maybe I never noticed) but when I was at PP last time, they had a big pile of rib tips on the table next to the spares. Since I have never seen them sell pre-trimmed spares I am wondering how they would get such a pile of tips? Certainly they don't come...

Well, the Cubs certainly didn't impress too much this weekend either So, I'd have to say that for this only having been the second weekend I have owned a WSM, the cook went pretty well. The pork butts turned out quite well, though I wish I could have found larger sized ones (or just invite...

Looks like we are on the same page. I pulled the butts (was fearing my probe fried as the ribs could have been dripping on the connection) and when I unwrapped to chek them out they were about to fall apart. So I wrapped in saran wrap them foiled and put in oven on warm. Also took a small...
