Our son got married in Las Vegas last June and we had another reception here in WA for friends and relatives. I did the cooking for over 325 guests; a whole spit roasted hog, 50 lbs of kalua pork, 100 lbs of spares, 30 lbs of briskets plus salads and sides. If your situation is similar (2...

Mussels are good grilled and served with melted butter. Once we grilled 6 doz of oysters! joe

Ariel... the jar is basically for those who "freeload" and don't bring anything and for those who "happen" to walk by and are invited to join in. Do the ribs beforehand and reheat at the tailgate in the WSM. The ABTs can be asseembled beforehand also and grilled on site. Chicken halves and...

As Ron said...who are you cooking for; size of the group and one more thing, where are you doing it? Here in Seattle my son has a group of season ticket holders that get together every game; rain,shine or freezing weather. There are about 30 in the core group but at any given game it may swell...

Jason... aloha and welcome! As Jim sez you keep on firing up the 22 WSM. If you need info on "Q"... Just ask. Bon Yoyage!!!! joe

I'd like to add a few more pennies... When using my stick burner I make sure the fire is burning well and the pit is warmed up a bit. joe

Excellent discussion... Here is my 2 cents worth...I have a 24 x 48 stick burner and both models of WSMs and complete combustion of the fuel is a key. When the off-set is cooking properly there is only a very small amount of smoke being emmitted. Likewise with the WSMs. When a log is added to...

Larry... The primary purpose of the wok ring is to stabilize the round bottomed wok. I read or seen it on a cooking show that it can also concentrate the heat for stove top cooking. Which way it is oriented, smaller diameter on top or below, depended on the diameter of your heat source. My...

Yes there is a definite learning curve on rotisserie cooking. Most of the time what one cooks varies physically as to shape and uniformity. I think only a hot dog is uniform in shape and density. joe

Larry living in CA should make it easy to find a wok to suit your needs. Go to an Asian market might be the best bet. Carbon steel is about the best, stay away from non-stick coated, aluminum or stainless varieties. Aluminum conducts heat best and like stainless is apt to discolor over use...

Larry... You looking for a commercial size natural gas burner for wok cooking? Indoors I just cook on an electric range and when I cook for outdoors I use a propane stove or burner from a turkey fryer. I read once that restaurant sized high output burners are not approved by some local...

Hey Mark... I just keep the Kettles and WSMs out of the wind. Some here on the forum made a portable and effective windbreak out of a sheet of plywood and several hinges. True that one may use more fuel to maintain the desired temps. joe

Wow Joe that looks good from here! Makes me want to get me a rotisserie for my Kettles. Foods cooked on a rotiss are self basting and that helps to keep it moist. I have several larger rotisseries that I use. Tnx for sharin the pics. joe

Very nice yardbird! I love to rotiss all kinds of meat and poultry including turkeys and whole hogs. This process is self basting and that keeps it moist. Tnx for sharing the pics. joe

Excellent combo...SURF 'N TURF! Safeway has Tri-tip roast for $2.99/lb. joe

Piggy backing on Gary M's suggestion: I use an old 9x13 cake pan and line it with aluminum foil. Pick up a used cake pan from a thrift store for pennies and reuse each time with foil. I am cheap!

In the Pacific Northwest I smoke with alder and maple... the bark on the wood looks like one of the maple trees we have here. joe

Joshua... I like your creation. I have a 22" platinum and a 22" WSM. I bought a NIB center section for a 22" WSM on CL so in effect I have two 22" WSMs. You have given me an idea of mounting one of my kettles on the Platinum cart and have two 22" WSMs side by side. joe

Excellent Christmas present! You will get the "hang" of cooking w/ charcoal, especially with the able assistance of your daughter. Good luck! joe

Joe... nice score w/ the rotisserie. I love to rotiss meat, the outcome is usually very moist. Neighborhood New Years Eve party will be doing a baron of beef on a rotiss and if we can get a good price on a 80 lb hog we will rotiss one also. joe
