    cabernet sauvignon picks *****

    Lance, I may have some bad news for you. TN law forbids the shipping of wine to a TN address. This is one state that the beer and wine distributers have still locked up their monopoly against consumer choice. Check in to it with the online shipper and please let me know if you find that I am...

    Lump or charcoal purchasing

    Donny, Wal Marts here in Chattanooga typically have Royal Oak lump. If you can't get it in Maryville or Knoxville, let me know before you come down to Chattanooga and I will verify that it is available.

    Smoke wood for Brisket?

    I made a brisket a couple of weeks ago with a hickory/apple blend and it was delicious. As to whether you can taste the difference between the different woods, my little brother came over for the meal and I had him guess what I used. He guessed 1/3 hickory and 2/3 apple. Exactly right - I...

    First post Pork Butt

    If the meat goes on at 4 AM I think that this will work, but I would run the temperature at 275-285 (measured at the vent).

    NEW AND IMPROVED WSM !!!!

    It would be great if it didn't fill with water when left uncovered in the rain.

    Buckboard Bacon..So easy..So good..Pics Inside!!!

    The buckboard bacon that I made was with a butt - it reminded me more of country ham than regular bacon. Very tasty.

    What do you have your WSM on???

    I think that the warnings about concrete are actually about using the chimney starter directly on the concrete surface. I've used the WSM on concrete with no problems - I currently have it balanced on broken cement blocks below my deck. Very upscale.

    apple tree

    I'd go for it - you'll find any any nests when you cut it up. His ant problem may be related to the apples laying on the ground rather than the wood. Or he might be just imagining that the problem stems from the tree - people come up with all sorts of crazy ideas. Disclaimer: I don't know...

    Pastrami question

    I asked the same question about a TenderQuick substitute here. I used the pink curing salt in the proportions outlined in the posts and had good results. -Pete

    Rancher Charcoal - First Overnighter

    I've only used the Rancher a few times on the grill so far, but the charcoal seems to stay hot for a long time (noticeably longer than Kingsford). I am not surprised by the positive comments that others have made. I was showing my 8-yr old son how to grill brats yesterday, and he was VERY...

    Red Oak vs. Oak

    Blackjack Oak is in the Red Oak group (at least according to wikipedia). Not meaning to divert the thread in a different direction, so here is something on topic: a list of oaks in the white oak group and the red oak group can be found here

    Walmart Brisket

    I went to WalMart last Saturday looking for a brisket. They had them, of course, but all of them were enhanced with up to 8% solution. I could have sworn that they used to not have enhanced beef briskets. I skipped it and got a flat at Sam's instead.

    Wood for smoking turkey?

    I just smoked one last weekend with 2 chunks apple and 1 chunk cherry. Man was it good. That said, if you don't have apple or cherry, I think hickory or pecan would be okay if you go light on the chunk amount.

    Doing 2 Pork Shoulders

    There is less cleanup if you put them both on the top rack and take out the bottom rack. What can I say, I'm lazy

    La Caja China

    I saw part of the show (it's on past my bedtime) and it did look great. When I saw what they were doing, I immediatly thought of the Mojo Picnic recipe that is in Dr. BBQs cookbook. I've been wanting to try that one, but I have't gotten to it yet.

    Pot Roast - Try it this weekend!

    Last weekend I made pot roast on my WSM and I have to say that it is wonderful. If you haven't tried this yet, you should put it in the rotation. Here are some pictures of my pot roast (with bonus buckboard bacon pics): Pot Roast Album I changed a few things in the recipe with good results...
