I enjoyed watching the video and the chicken throne looks handy and stable. But I think I would miss the crowd pleasing pizzazz of a chicken actually sitting on a beer can. Heck, like many here I've done this bit a number of times and I still get a kick out of it! Perhaps I've been fortunate...

A related question ... what is your favorite brand of charcoal lighter fluid? . . . "Hello? (Tapping microphone) Is this thing on?"

Doug was looking over my shoulder ...

You need to factor in that the cooked butt will weigh less than the uncooked butt. In the cooking section of this site, a yield of 40-60% is given for an untrimmed butt. A 10 pound untrimmed butt will yield 4-6 pounds of meat. Using the admittedly light serving of 2.5 ounces per sandwich, an...

I'm curious how you come up with new recipes for a book. Do you intentionally try to develop recipes for a book ("I need to come up with another rib recipe!") or do the recipes naturally develop out of a sense of exploration and then one day you discover that, hey, there are enough unique ideas...

It is a pleasure to join the chorus of praise for the work you have done. I have yet to get a copy of your new book, but my birthday's this Saturday so I'm hoping that I'll soon be paging my way through your latest offering. When grilling I often have a "Grilling Beverage" either in hand or...

I inquired about this recipe last year, but just got around to making it this last weekend. My intention was to use a halved chicken, but my sloppy cutting resulted in quarters! I think this recipe would be good with any chicken cut ... halves, quarters, thighs, breasts, you name it. I used a...

Thanks Ron ... I'll give it a go! Keri ... Aw shoot, sweetheart, it's beans, not chemistry! I'm a chemical engineer ... everything is chemistry! Thanks for the advice!

I'd like to try making these for a gathering this weekend. Regarding the meat ... I don't have any smoked pork/beef on hand ... any thoughts regarding how the recipe is using "crumbled cooked pork sausage"? Also ... it seems like the recipe is forgiving in what type of BBQ sauce you use.

Hi Tony, I have no catering advice to offer ... but I wanted to say that I just looked at your web page. Congratulations on having the courage to make your dream a reality. Very inspiring. I don't want to detract from this thread, but are you still competing? I've been away from this forum...

Your tempting me Bryan! I figure I need to cook 4 birds for the party. The issue with going indirect is that I would have to cook in two batches. Cooking direct I could cook all 4 birds at once (cut in halfs). A tight fit, but I think I could do it. There wouldn't be any room for a cool zone...

Thanks Bryan. Using the kettle, do you cook the chicken indirect? I'm prowling the boards today getting ideas on how to prep chicken for a party tomorrow.

Bryan, I'm going to be grilling some chicken over the weekend and might give your recipe a whirl. Reading the posts, however, I'm confused over how long you marinate the chicken in the sauce ... is it "up to 2 hours" or "6-8"? Thanks.

HD had a sale over the Memorial Day weekend, as well. I would guess that they might have a similar sale over Labor Day. Something to keep an eye out for if you're running low ... might be the last sale of the "season".

P.S. - When you come to Cincinnati, I'd love to know what you think about the ribs from Montgomery Inn ... they have a tremendous business in these parts, both in-restaurant and mail order ... but many of us suspect that they boil the ribs ... certainly no smoke. I should be careful ...

Hi Ray, Thanks for the reply. Turns out they built a HUGE Kroger store about a mile from my house ... supposed to be the biggest Kroger store in the Free World ... complete with a Starbucks and a jewelry store(!). (The only thing I really like about it is that they now carry prime graded...

Lowes: $3.33/20 lb = 16.65 cents/lb Home Depot: $7.98/2x24 lb = 16.63 cents/lb That's a little uncanny. Maybe Lowes and Home Depot will get caught up in a "charcoal war" ... sort of like gas wars between competing gas stations.

I think it depends on how you set up your initial smoke wood. When setting up for a long smoke for brisket or butt, besides the smoke wood on top of the charcoal, many people bury pieces of smoke wood in the unlit charcoal. This is done to produce some smoke later in the smoke. If you set up...

Hello Dr. BBQ and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! It seems that competition techniques and styles change or evolve over time (e.g., injecting and simmering chicken). I wonder if once everyone begins using a particular strategy it becomes "old hat", setting the stage for something...
