    Anyone watching BBQ Brawl: Flay V. Simon on Food Network?

    Not a fan of the arena type cooking contests. Even BBQ Pitmasters was more appealing to me when they were just another contestant at the big events. But I guess the stars weren't winning enough. Pass

    Chicken Legs brine question

    I brine pork and poultry anywhere from 2 to 24 hours. My opinion is that a short brine is kind of a waste. There may be other data that may support or refute that theory. Duration is a function of guesswork, intuition, size and amount of meat, and strength of the brine. (Don't want it too...

    To cover or not to cover

    i cover mine here in the "banana belt" of Alaska. Moisture build up from either rain or snow is a pain when you're on ground level like me.

    How small is too small?

    I've been known to grab green red alder twigs and throw them on the coals for salmon and poultry. But they have to be green, the dry ones burst into flame.

    Father's Day Gift: New Smoker! (First Smoker EVER! Now what do I do...?)

    An accurate probe thermometer, a good supply of charcoal, some smoke wood, and patience. Patience is the hardest one for me. There is a wealth of info here and at a couple of other sites that shall remain nameless.

    WSM 18.5” charcoal grate mod

    i use it with lump charcoal to keep the fines from falling thru. I did use baling wire to secure the charcoal ring to the grate to keep it from moving.
