I find that hickory by itself tends to impart a "hammy" taste - particularly if I use too much of it (unless that would be my goal...) With pork and a 50-50 "mix" of Apple and Hickory - I REALLY like the results, and from what I've been told, Apple and Cherry are pretty similar. So, go for it...

I typically find that Oxo's stuff is REALLY GOOD (for the money) - It is usually at the upper-end of what I consider to be "mid-scale". for large frying / browning jobs, I have a large (15"?) Kitchenaid non-stick pan with rounded sides. It's not as thick and heavy as the Calphalon, but it does...

As a Packers fan - I was rooting for the Saints I feel for the guy who "almost" made the tackle, and landed on his keester with a perfect angle to watch the receiver slip-past him for the game-winning TD

I'll agree with Richard - I had a single-channel Maverick. It worked pretty decently for what it was But I'll give a big "Heck Yeah!" on the Smoke being better My new Smoke supports dual probes -The User Interface (controls) is stupid simple -All components build quality is clearly superior...

<FYI "C" = Apcrae, for those who know pig-latin> A few months ago, while killing time / scrounging at our local Goodwill - looking for Halloween Costume stuff, one of my finds: Calphalon hard-Anodized 10-inch skillet It looked almost new, had the all-metal commercial type (cast) handle and was...

Ya' in our "neck-o-th-woods" - The FIRST time that temperatures dip down into the 20-30 mark - we're all like "man!, it's COLD out there!" End of January / February rolls around and temperatures go back UP to the 20-30 degree mark and we're all like "Hey! it's pretty NICE out there today"...

Ate at the one in Louisville in around 2002 - it was EXCELLENT -Steak cooked to Per-Fec-Shen (MY idea of Medium-Rare and theirs was the same...)! -I ate at the bar (it was just me on a biz trip - it was the only meal that I expensed for 2-days) -Had it with Potatos Au Poirve (hope I spelled that...

Labs are just all-around GREAT dogs! I've almost NEVER seen a "nasty" one (unless it was owned by some piece of human excrement who should not be allowed to do so) They're just so motivated to please... Just be sure that there are no priceless nick-nacks within the tail-sweep area - that lab...

Had HID Bi-Xenon on my previous Volvo S60-R They were NICE (threw a good, white, bright beam) BUT: -Replacement Bulbs = $200 ish -Replacement Ballast = $400 ish, and burried within Bumper Trim -If a light is out, not always easy to determine if problem is bulb or Ballast In our part of the...

Like they say in the Foster's commercials - KEEPER! Happy holidays!

I've been using quite a bit of Crab Apple lately - my BIL took a big limb off from a tree in his yard and didn't want it, so I cut it up and hauled it home. From branches under around 2-inches, the bark is thin enough that I just leave it on. If it was big / trunk stuff or where bark got THICK...

NICE JOB! - Sounds like yours went WAY better than my first crack at PP about 6 years ago...

I wonder if maybe it was not the Weight or Volume of the stuff that you put on the WSM - but maybe did you pack a single grate almost completely full? If you did that, maybe you sufficiently impeded the internal airflow such that the fire "starved" for airflow? Normally - if I cook-up 12 to 16...

Thinking of getting a chunk of good Rib Roast to celebrate the new year - I can think of (3) Good ways to cook it up with the equipment I have at my disposal: ON PERFORMER: -Grill it indirect -Stick it on the Rotisserie ON WSM: -Rumor / past posts have it that grilling on WSM at high(is?)...

We've got a somewhat older version of THIS critter: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000A1ZN1/tvwb-20 Once you get it dialed-in, it's pretty consistent for toast / bagels / etc. Sometimes, it seems a little slow - but we have had it for about 10 years and it has been reliable, looks...

I'm with Robert on this one - I have a dual-head Halogen work-light on a tripod. It was not too expensive from Lowe's (mine was actually a B-Day gift, but I know where my BIL got it...) Now, they have re-chargeable LED ones that would be relatively easy to suspend with some sort of bracket or...

Welcome back Kevin When I was first researching equipment before buying (I'm sort of OCD about researching stuff before I spend my hard-earned moolah...) I THOUGHT that I wanted an offset stick-burner. Fortunately, my tastes in equipment (if I was going to do it, I would have "needed" a...

For sides with Tri-Tip - I like some simple Pico De Gallo (if there's a farm-stand near you this is a GREAT time of the year) -Those nice, medium tomatoes that come on the stalks - seeded and diced -A little Onion -Maybe a Medium-Hot yellow pepper or two and / or seeded Jalapeno -Big bunch of...

With Fall and Winter coming-up, I start to drink more Tea If it's just for me / one person, I just heat-up a cup in the micro. If it's for two - I have a basic, white ceramic pot that I picked-up at Crate & Barrel which works fine. If it's for more people, or if I plan to be really thirsty - I...

I know that this isn't what you asked for - but "whitefish" triggers this for me: (It's a tradition in Door County Wisconsin - the thumb on the mitten if you look at a map...) If it's Great Lakes Whitefish (the oily, bony stuff) - look-up the recipe for a classic "fish boil" to make with SOME...
