    boring post, yet Tasty Bird

    Jim that chicken (and whole meal in general) looks absolutely mind blowing, do you mind if I ask at what temperature you cooked it at? I enjoy smoked chicken but typically the skin doesn't look/taste that deliciously cooked

    WHAT do you do for an eager NEWBIE?

    To reiterate what has been said, the knowledge on the forum, and the easily accessible recipes Chris has on the main website, should be more than enough to help your friend - the fact that he has you as a resource to rely on is the excellent cherry on top. I started on an el cheapo brinkmann...

    Over cooked ribs question

    Hello all, Sorry I don't have any pics for this, but the past few times I've cooked ribs (and even brisket), it has come out far darker on the bark and a bit drier in the meat than I've done in the past. My rubs consist of turbinado sugar, salt, and other seasonings, but nothing that I would...

    Dome vs Grate Temperature

    I tried to measure the differences in dome vs grate temps and found them to be fairly close the few times - used an oven thermometer sitting grate level for the test, but these things can vary so much it's hit or miss anyways, or so it seems for a lot of people that have posted. However, I...

    Lexington Vinegar Sauce

    Steve, I just have to thank you for coming up with a very delicious and versatile sauce. I've made the lexington and a few variations and have had great success with them. I amended it to my tastes by substituting soy sauce for worstershire and chipotle powder for cayenne, and by removing the...

    need info on smoking whole chicken

    You can smoke chicken at higher heats than a typical low/slow brisket/pork shoulder, I usually aim for 300-350. I butterfly them, rinse, dry, and season over and under the skin. I love good chicken skin, which is why I aim for a hotter, quicker cook - more heat helps cook the skin to an edible...

    A Butt Rub (for Jane)

    Finally got around to trying jane's butt rub...it turned out well. I subbed the new mexico chili powder out for cayenne (which I cut the dose in half) and it was just right spicy. Amply salted the butt, cracked a bit of salt and sprinkled some seasoning onto the pork after pulling, and...

    Do you baste your pork butt?

    I used to, but I have read quite a bit on this site since, and it appears (from a scientific standpoint) that basting doesn't really add much flavor unless it is highly concentrated and applied with much diligence, per Kevin. Plus, from personal experience, I like a very crusty bark, and...

    Quick Minion Method Poll.

    I have an 18.5, and typically I use about 20 lit coals - all vents open - and it gets up to temp in a matter of only a few minutes 5, maybe 10 max. Granted, I live in Florida, so I'm not usually fighting cold, and I light the coals and smoke in a fairly wind protected area. Also, I just use 2...

    What I learned from my first turkey......

    excellent post. I've been wanting to smoke a turkey for a while, prob will do after the holidays are over. I have an 18.5 wsm, do you think a whole (say 12lb) turkey will fit on it? I've smoked several chickens on high heat, and will probably be doing the same technique for the turkey (cover...
