    Burgers on the Weber

    I agree completely, which is the reason this house does ground chuck. Love the flavor of fat from the Q :-) CraigW

    Craycort cast iron inserts

    You'll love them. When not being used store them in the house and keep them oiled. I have the bowl too, break for veggies and shrooms. They should last you a lifetime. I use Craycort on my Joe and Performer, I'll never go back to plated grills. Have fun!

    My humble opinion on lump charcoal

    Lump for grilling hot, fast and clean (e.g., steaks, London Broils, etc.) Occasionally, I'll throw a New York directly on the red hot lump, brush off the ashes and flip it, no grill needed. Best sear ever. I would not do this with KBB. Sometimes use both, KBB and lump, start the heat with KBB...

    Smoking in a time warp?

    DB: I usually do a couple briskets, one on ea shelf, my pit temp is usually set at 215 to 230. For a couple 16lb pieces I figure anywhere from 18 to 24 hours. I've done lots of them and it's always the same. I usually hang at 165 for 6 hours plus before it starts climbing again and then they...

    Which thermometer?

    Joseph: I have the 732 and I could go to the scrap yard with probes that do not work any more. That said, I'm still using it. I hear the iGrill 2 works pretty good, but it may be a mixed bag. Amazon has some awful reviews on the product. I'm saving my money for the Thermoworks BBQ set up...

    Spatchcock turkey question

    Frank: I'mm gong to follow this thread, I have the same question. When it comes to chicken, I like the rotisserie at 375 to 400 F. I usually use the kettle for my chickens. Since chicken is one of my least favorite foods, I've only smoked them once or twice. Spatchcocked on the grill indirect...

    Brisket Prices

    My butcher has been doing me for $4.49 lb. That's a full packer, I usually buy two of them, at least 15 lbs each. We love the leftovers. We live in S Florida, so we always pay a little extra for trucking. CraigW

    Is there something beside the Maverick ET-732

    Dave: Very funny. From what I hear, the iGrill works pretty good. The only drawback is now you have something extra to wash when the cook is finished. CaigW

    Is there something beside the Maverick ET-732

    J: The Igrill also works with Android. Google Play has an app for it and the Thermowork's site has been updated to reflect it also works with Android. Actually, after some research the other day, I'm leaning towards Themoworks. they have a kit, very pricey for the BBQ. It does not have any...

    Curious here... how many of you use the lower level on your WSMs?

    I almost always use both racks. in my house, we live off the left overs so I always load mine up with a couple large briskets or 4 butts. We love our seal a meal to portion up the left overs. It's nice to come home from work, warm of some quality smoked brisket or pulled pork and have it with a...

    Is there something beside the Maverick ET-732

    I never did get the igrill set up. Still using the 732 and buying probes as needed. I seemed to have figured out that moisture of any kind inside the probe kills them. So now when I clean them, I hold them in the direction of water flow so that the water cannot get the gasket wet. In addition...

    Lid thermometer way off

    My WSM gage runs on the cool side compared to my ET 732 and DigiQ DXII. Same with my Kettle. I like the maverick too. Just don't get them wet where the cable connects to the probe; otherwise, they will fail in short order. I have not found a good replacement probe set that's a little more...

    Smokey Mountain or Weber Grill Conversion with smokeanator?

    Kevin: Thought I would post a few photos. This system is going work well for me. I don’t know about the Smokenator, but I do know this has plenty of room on the grill and holds a lot more briquettes. I am very impressed: I will be using this system a lot going forward. It’s not...

    Smokey Mountain or Weber Grill Conversion with smokeanator?

    Kevin: Like the others, I have both a WSM and Kettle and could not imagine being without one or the other. I've never tried grilling on a WSM but I have done some smoking on the Kettle without a stacker. Recently I purchased a stacker from CB that works on my WSM and Kettle. I went ahead and...

    Boneless Beef Short Ribs

    Yes, I'll try to get it posted, it is a carb free recipe, so no bread or starches are used. To cook the mushrooms and melt the cheeses, they only take 45-minutes to an hour. The main ingredients are crab, cream cheese, jalapeno, garlic, little Tabasco, dash of red pepper and paprika on top with...

    Are temp control systems worth it?

    Temp Control for WSM I have a DigiQ DXII and I love it. I use it on my WSM and my Performer. It holds temps dead nuts. No need to use water, unless you want too. I've had mine for 3 plus years and it has performed flawlessly. CraigW

    My First Bacon

    JR I have not gotten around to bacon yet. What you have looks great! I'm motivated now. I love bacon and the stuff in the general store is not getting the job done for me. CraigW

    Dumb Question of the Day: Ever leave out the charcoal ring on long cooks?

    JeffB On my 22.5 I can fit 20 lbs of Kingsford briquettes in the charcoal ring. They're a little coned and stacked up, but I can fit them all. I did some huge briskets one cook, ea came in at 17 plus pounds. It took me 30 hours to bring them up to 200, without foil and I still had a little fuel...
