    Weber Performer from Craigslist

    Nice find. Looks hardly used and those grills look just like mine--totally usable.

    i got another one

    I have been looking for one of these in Denver for a year now. Trying to avoid dropping $50 for a new one on Amazon. I found a gas GA to use at concerts and other tailgage venues where "open flame" is banned. Nice score.

    Easter Leg of Lamb

    I like to poke the leg of lamb with a paring knive and insert a sprig of rosemary, sliver of garlic or half a kalmata olive. randomly put them about an inch or so apart all over the outside. Makes for a pretty presentation and ups the wow factor on the plate.

    Turkey breast question

    I always rub olive oil on my turkey breasts before I apply the rub and that creates nice color.

    Cornell Chicken and the Fire Department

    My son just got accepted to Cornell so I think I better get up to speed on this recipe. I live the original recipe that outlines how to build the stone firepit and how to arrange the tables and also the mass-quantity version of the ingredients. What a beautiful piece of history. I guess...

    firewire

    The only downside is that you have to put the food on the grill! I'm experimenting with yakitori and other kebab type of grilling where the food is suspended above the fire without a grill.

    Lodge Grill Pan

    You can sand the bumps out but you'll need a power sander or else an orthopedist for your elbow. This is a good link: cast iron seasoning and care Basically the bumps or smooth bottom doesn't make a difference for non-stick. In fact I've seen some new teflon non-sticks that feature a bumpy...

    first time kettle smoking... help...

    Remember that in BBQ waiting is something you do AFTER the meat is on. We *never* wait to start BBQing ! worst case toss that brisket in the oven with foil aat 350 with a drippings and it will still taste awesome cuz you made it yourself!

    first time kettle smoking... help...

    I can't see the pics so not sure of your setup. When I smoke on my kettle I usually have my bottom vents at 25% and my top vent 50-75 percent. I'm guessing you may seem some high temps with the amount of coal and the small amount of meat so watch that and dial down the top vent but not less...

    Brisket Flat Advice

    As long as you foil at 160 and look for 190-205 final temp in foil it should come out great. My only concern is the "vegetarian girlfriend" You'll have to grill up some delicious veggies on the kettle.

    Mixing Bottled BBQ Sauces

    You know sauces like ketchup and mustard and hot sauce have flavoring and we use them as elements all the time in cooking. So why not BBQ sauce. I would think a competitor would "make it his own" by doctoring it. I make a nice sauce where I make my own ketchup first from tomoatoes and use it...

    What A Difference A DOOR Makes

    That pesky boiling point.... it affects cook time as well since water in the meat and temps related to collagen breakdown all are lower so that means more time. I'm hoping to drill more vents in bottom and top of WSM this summer.

    Breaking Down a Pork Butt (buckboard bacon update)

    I'm going to do this on Saturday. I wasn't clear from the picture how you got the round money muscle out of that chunk on the end but I'm sure I'll figure it out. I'm guessing if you tried to do any of the chunks like tenderloin (sear and bake) they might be too tough. but I like the idea of...

    What A Difference A DOOR Makes

    I saw some guys using bungee cords betwen the lid handle and all three legs to compress the pieces together. I thought they'd melt but I saw smoke coming out the top with the cords on there. Not sure why they did it but this thread made me think. I was judging so I couldn't ask them and...

    Salmon newbie

    I think since it is salt cured you can keep it a while but I'd be more concerned about finger contamination etc. I portion my cold smoked salmon into approximately 4" lengths of the filet and freeze them. I slice them after thawing for about 30 minutes. works perfectly for me.
