Last week's cook was pork with the coals Snaked out. Yesterday I used a basket (expanded metal) of coals with a Minion start like a WSM. The brisket was a 14.5 lb Sterling Silver brisket. Sterling Silver is supposed to be upper Choice to lower Prime quality. The brisket went from one end of...

Keep us posted on this. I have a CB stacker when I need more room and the 22 WSM when I need even more space.

Inspired by this thread, I thought I'd give it a shot with a little different set up. Stopped at Costco and thought I picked up a 2 pack of pork butts (for work pot luck) but when I got home and opened the bag, surprise ... Pork Cushion meat which is from the lower part of the arm/leg and...

Lance I have added up to 3 levels in a standard kettle. See post 9 at this link With a Rotisserie Ring or CB Stacker you can add up to 4 levels.

Yes I realize that.. at $17 per 6 foot cable got me thinking about buying some cable and soldering extensions to my existing cables. the bulk cable must be pretty cheap to buy

If I have different cuts of meat like chicken pieces I put the larger pieces like quarters nearest the heat.

Also agree with the above. if I want low and slow (high 200s) I use the fuse/snake method and for higher indirect into the 300s or more I just pile on one side. I use a rack to keep coals on one side. No controller is needed just use the vents. For high indirect heat for example open all vents...

Does anyone know if there is a way to add cable/wire to extend the length of the shorter Maverick probe wires?

No but here are the steps: Remove the current charcoal grate and use a charcoal grate designed for an 18 inch kettle which is 13 inches. The smaller charcoal grate is now sitting on the fins. Next I use a 13 x 5 inch round charcoal basket made out of expanded metal on the charcoal grate...

Thats a good price I paid about $175 for a Cajun Bandit Stacker with postage. I can get 3 full size 22 in. and one 18 inch racks in the Stacker. You should be able to as well on yours.

Mark what is the ring/stacker that you are showing?

Agree 350 to 400 is what I like.. chicken does not benefit from low and slow. It receives smoky flavors very easily and doesn't have the fat and connective tissue that a pork shoulder has which does benefit from a more gentle heat environment. I don't brine, just cut off excessive fat, dry it...

We had an 8 qt red enameled cast iron (Martha Stewart) that we returned when they had a recall on it. We did not like cooking with it. Are you looking for something nice looking or utility? During my food service career, cast iron and enameled cast iron was rarely used. However, Rondeaus or...

Has any thougth of just getting a 1/8 or 1/4 steel plate cut to fit the Pizza Kettle. I think it's just to direct heat down, so it shouldn't have to be very fancy.

Indirect, charcoal on one side in and around a basket and try to shoot for 350ish. You don't need bricks unless you prefer a heat sink which is not needed with a high heat cook. Try and arrange the bird so the legs to get the most heat.

You can use a standard grate on the bottom section. Buy some longer stainless leg screws and use them to hold the grate.

Sounds like way too much oil and lemon juice for amount of chicken. The breast meat will dry out if not cooked right no matter how much it is marinaded. Lawry's Herb and Garlic is a simple store bought option. My choice is just a little oil and what ever herbs I have in my garden (rosemary...

The one pictured is a full sheet pan, one challenge is cleaning. Because of the size it either won't fit or very hard to fit in a dishwasher and even harder to fit in a standard home sink. They will not fit in a standard oven, however I use half (18 x 12) and quarter sheet pans all the time...

I have a 22 WSM adn had a 18, yet more often than not I use a CB Stacker option, I have squeezed up to 4 grill racks in mine. Another option is a Weber Rotiserre and mod as a Stacker, You should be able to fit 2 full racks that way. Also with a Snake method you can go low and slow in a kettle...

Found this thread I posted last year which shows 3 levels in a 22 kettle. See post 9
