I'm insanely envious of both of you! I think I'm the only wannabe left on this board. Enjoy your new toys and enjoy the hildays.

They took your kettle? BASTARDS! Take my watch, my wallet, the keys to my car, but how inhumane do you have to be to go after someone's grill? Seriusoly, I assume your MSM is not the only piece of outdoor equipment you have. I would suggest if you have room just buy an inexpensive little...

Sorry to take this thread off-topic for a second, but gary could you explain how the probe in the potato works? It sounds like an idea I'd like to try. On the topic of heat-resitant gloves, one of the best BBQ gifts I ever received was a set of welder's gauntlets from an uncle in the trades...

Wow! I guess I don't know how lucky I am to have a good butcher! Even though I'm in the frozen North, my local butcher understands my needs perfectly when I explain what I'm smoking, be it butt, brisket, ribs, what have you. I have always paid a premium to go to the butcher as opposed to the...

Hi Carl. The best jerk I ever had outside Jamaica my brother-in-law made using a pork tenderloin and a recipe from Stephen Raichlen's "The Barbecue Bible" I don't own this book but my BIL swears by it as the best cookbook he's ever owned. Pehaps someone on the board owns it and can share the...

This recipe looks great. Thanks for posting it, Rocky! Question, being that this is in a foil pan, is there any point in adding smokewood to the briquettes?

If you don't mind a short drive north over the border for the weekend, Ontario is developing a small cicuit of competitions. These are great fun because they're not too big. The sanctioning body is called the Canadian Barbecue Smokers Association and their website (with events listing) is...

Marc, I dug up the recipe last night, scribbled down so many years ago, and found out my memory had deceived me! It turns out that the recipe does involve a brining process, but not an injected brine. I remembered that it was a bit of a PITA, that's why I had never attempted it myself, but...

Hi Marc! I can 100% vouch for you on the Montreal smoked meat. It is really something to behold. Just this past weekend I had to make a trip to Montreal for a family funeral, arrived at Midnight and left at 2:30 in the afternoon, still managed to get to the deli twice for a super-size on rye...

I have made a few changes to my el-cheapo sunbeam smoker to make it perform better and coupled with the Minion method I learned here it had produced some very good Q. I believe that the one thing that really makes the difference beween my smoker and a real WSM is that air leaks in all over...

Sorry Jim, I guess I wasn't that clear in my original post. The course costs USD$300.00, which is more than $450.00 in Canadian funds. A WSM costs $300.00 - $350.00 in Canadian funds. You're right, the best way to learn is going to be through experience and asking questions. I guess I kind...

Has anyone heard of this home-study school? It's a course that was developed by Charlie and Ruthie Knote, who both seem to be well-known in BBQ cirles from my limited research. If anyone has any firsthand knowledge or feedback on this course I would greatly appreciate it. I'm thinking on...

Hello folks! I have a Char-griller horizontal barrel-style grill and several times have tried smoking diffent items with it using the indirect method. I like it better than using a kettle grill as the surface is huge and it is easy to get the meat right away from the direct heat. The problem...

Why don't you call the Ace Hardware and see if they'll match the DynaDirect price of $149.00? Since you're buying two it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

Scott, Congratulations on your success. It must be a real sense of accomplishment to pull something like that off. For the Millenium New Years I put on a 10-course dinner for 20 people out of my little suburban kitchen. That was difficult enough, even with all the advance prep, but 80 people...

What about injecting it with a baste/marinade using a kitchen syringe?

Good morning folks! My smoke on the holiday weekend went off without a hitch thanks to the wonderful information on this site and from the members of this board. The Minion method rocks! By modifying my Sunbeam smoker and using this method, my 2 five pound butts were at pulling temperature in...

You got a Taylor probe thermometer for $16.99? Living in Canada SUCKS!!! All week long I've tried to find a Polder or similar. The Taylor was $46.00 and the only other one was a super no-name cheap looking thing for $35.00 Don't even get me started on beer prices. The beer consumption is...

Brian, I just got some great advice on my almost identical situation. Check out my post 'Scared to death about the long weekend' I think you'll get some great help. Take Care, Darren

Way to go! I'm still waiting for that first time when everything turns out. I'm hoping it's Saturday. Congrats again!
