Trust me -- it's doable.

Us, too, Robert.

I like the way you cut your poppers in half. I think most people would prefer them that way.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not much of a Rose drinker either but summertime is a good time for it. Appreciate the reference, Bill.

Beautiful cook and really, really pretty back yard. Are you the gardener? Kudos!

I agree, Stuart!

We've been smoking for over 30 years and still use the water pan (though we talk about not using it since I've been on this site). But we wrap the water pan in fol before using, too, as it makes for easy cleanup, Chris. Just FYI...

I remember in 1972 driving my boyfriend's 1958 MGA and the gas needle was almost on empty. I didn't have any money with me (who DOES that?!) so I scrounged up some change from the bottom of my purse and gave the man $.50 for some gas. It was only full serve then and he didn't blink an eye --...

I literally laughed out loud at this comment, Jim!

This made me laugh, Bob. I'm right handed, as was my mom, but my father, brother and sister were all lefties. So was the parish priest who used to play ball with us (we lived for 6 years across the street from our Catholic school/church). I guess when they showed me how to hit a baseball (we...

On September 16th, it will be 50 years since the Beatles came to New Orleans -- and yours truly was there (I was just about to turn 10). I remember my father beating his hand on the kitchen table saying, "No way I'm paying five dollars for those two girls (me and my sister, who was 13) to go...

My favorite, too, Bob! Daniel, thanks so much for sharing your story and your pics. Glad you and your family enjoyed your trip here!

Shrimp taste a WHOLE LOT better if you cook them with the heads and peel on -- you can peel them afterward.

I like mine medium rare. If you took it off at 130 degrees and wrapped it in foil for an hour, it would seriously overcook it ifor me. My husband likes meat medium, so I give him the end cuts (his favorite anyway) and I take more of the inner cuts. I let the meat rest about 20 minutes prior...

We do eye of round on the smoker all the time -- the only way I like it, as I find it a bit dry when people roast it. If you have the time, you can marinate it for a day or two, which comes out really well. We've also "rubbed" it and then chilled it for a day. It's great to slice thin and...

Summer in New Orleans is hot as hell. Once it gets hot, I don't turn on the oven short of an emergency but Brian will cook whatever I need an oven for on the Weber. I made a big pan of stuffed bell peppers a couple of weeks ago and he used pecan wood in the Weber. God, they had the best flavor.

Years ago, I always presumed that the lower rack in the smoker was the hotter rack. Then we started using oven thermometers on the two levels and I realized that the upper grate is always hotter. Just FYI.

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. I sure wish my father or father-in-law were still alive to celebrate the day with.

We're big fans of smoked turkey around here, too, Chuck, and we probably do five or six a year (we just bought a turkey breast to smoke this week). I cook the Thanksgiving turkey inside in the oven, as I love the smell and I love basting the big giant bird I always get. We used to smoke one as...

Amazing job by your wife. Pass on all of the compliments to her and please include mine. I'm simply floored by how fantastic it is. Would love to know what kind of cake is under there!
