    Deep-Frying A Brined Turkey

    I have fried several turkeys & chickens in my frier and I always inject (I'll post that in the recipe section) at least 24 hrs before I fry them. I fry at 350 deg and 4 minutes/lb. Always moist, juicy, and delicious. I'm quite sure that all my birds have been 'enhanced.' I usually wrap the...

    Bye Bye Brinkman, Hello WSM!

    Vince, First off, I did BRITU for the first time a few weeks ago and it is excellent!!. No cutting the salt in half & not salty whatsoever. So, if you do BRITU, be sure and follow the recipe exactly and you should look like this afterwards --> . Next here are some good wood sources...

    Cooking in a Screened in porch?

    Robert, Like Pat I also have a covered patio and I usually set my WSM right near the edge of the patio so the wind will carry the smoke away. One thing I have noticed, over time (say if you cook a couple times a week, it might take 3 months or so) the smoke will build up a layer on the...

    Ham to die for

    Jack, You should try the Mustard & Whiskey Glaze under the "Let's Cook" section of this website. It is unbelieveable what it does to a ham. ----------------- Mark WAR EAGLE!!

    Cleaning Survey

    I clean my WSM usually the next day after smoking. The cooking grates and water pan are cleaned with soap and water. I spray the charcoal bowl and grate with the water hose to get rid of the ashes. I dry everything off reasonably well. Spray the charcoal grate with Pam. Reassemble the...

    Thermometer Recommendations, please?

    Hi Tom, Check out this link to learn about my experiences with the dual probe Polder: Polder Question It seems to be working now but I'll have to wait and see how it behaves in my next cook. If I had it to do over again, though, I'd probably get the single probe version...

    Polder Question

    Thanks Ray, I kinda figured water may have gotten in there somehow. As far as this oil treatment goes, how exactly does that make the probe water resistant? Do I submerse the probe in the oil until it is completely covered? I assume by 'oil' you mean cooking oil.? Thanks again...

    Polder Question

    OK, so I'm smack in the middle of cooking BRITU and I walk outside to check my temps and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, my Polder (the dual probe type) starts acting funny...it jumps from about 169 to 181 and never comes back down. I remove it from the meat and let it cool down for about a...

    Where to get it???

    I have read in these forums where some have found the Brinkman pan at Wal-Mart. I am with Dave though. In the few cooks I've done, I've never come close to running out of water with the small pan. ---------------- Mark WAR EAGLE!!

    Smoke wood & bark

    OK, I've asked this question before on a different post but this situation is a little different. I received my smoke wood (Apple, Cherry, & Pecan) from 800drywood.com yesterday. I opened one of the bags and noticed that the chunks still had the tree bark on them. It is a very thin layer of...

    A couple questions

    Bryan, I've seen that website before but just forgot about it. It's bookmarked now. They have a little bit better prices than the website I mentioned. Many thanks. -------------------------- Mark WAR EAGLE!

    A couple questions

    Question #1: Has anybody here in WSM-land ever bought wood chunks from www.800drywood.com? I just ordered some apple, cherry, & pecan chunks from there. 8lbs of each for a total of about $68.00 including shipping. Question #2: How often does everybody get to cook? Every weekend? Twice a...

    Tailgating with ribs

    I believe you did...but you know that when Poppa Bowden retires, Tommy is gonna bolt for FSU don't you? I'm really gonna enjoy smokin' ribs, shoulder, brisket, whatever (just as long as I'm smokin')during this football season. Q, brew, football, and fall weather. What else is there...

    Highest Praise from the Wife

    I agree with Jim. One "Aww $h!+" from the little woman will wipe out a whole months worth of "Your wonderful, Honey". I guarantee it. On another note, Dave, how flavorful was your bird? I did two this weekend (the birds were approx 8lbs each) and the one I ate (one went to a friend)...

    Corky's Dry Rub & My First Brisket

    Cool, thanks guys!!! A special thanks to Stogie for the rub recipes. I'll definitely give them a try. Please tell me, though, how do you crush a bay leaf? Chris, what proportions would you recommend for the vinegar/water baste? 50/50? BTW Stogie, I checked out Corky's website Corky's...

    Corky's Dry Rub & My First Brisket

    My wife went up to Nashville this weekend and brought me back some ribs & brisket and a couple of bottles of dry rub from Corky's BBQ . This was my first time eating brisket ever and I must say it was very good. The meat was falling apart into little pieces as I picked it up with a fork...

    Another WSM vs. Brinkmann post . . .

    Mickey, The one you found on the Home Depot website is correct. I must confess that I did not actually buy the punches. I was able to borrow them for a weekend. I didn't realize they were $25 apiece. But, then again, the Greenlee brand is the best. If you know someone who is an electrican...

    A dead oak tree

    A friend of mine has a dead oak tree that he is going to burn in a big bond fire out at his house. He said that the tree has been dead for about a year. I'm gonna snag me about five "firewood" sized logs. My question is can I use the wood for smoking right now? Is it dry enough or does...

    Another WSM vs. Brinkmann post . . .

    Mick, With regards to the mods on Randy's ECB Mod page...something I did to my ECB was instead of drilling a bunch of small holes, I was able to get my hands on a couple of knockout punches (available at a electrical supply store; maybe at Home Depot, I don't know) and popped about 4 holes in...
