    Disappointing spareribs, any advice?

    probably not the issue but did you happen to be out by the smoker for most of the cook? If Im hovering around the smoker durring a cook, I cant taste hardly anything come time to eat. If Im inside doing stuff, my sense of smell is not affected and everythhing tastes 50x better

    Costco ribs?

    Ive kind of taken them for granted until the past few weeks when I did a comp that you had to purchase the meat from them, and then last week, I needed one rack so I picked up a Farmland from the store. Both instances made the Swift ribs look like Kobe. My tip for buying ribs from Costco is find...

    Cousin's wedding

    100 people is a nice size. Id have fun with it and dont get stressed out. there is no reason you cant do butts and chuckie ahead of time, vacuum pack and freeze. then you will just need a couple roasters filled with water and put the bags in to reheat and roasters to serve out of. Chicken may...

    ribs - over or under done? I can't tell

    I plan 5 hours from on the smoker to done -rested and sauced for good sized BB @ 240-250. 90% of the time, I have to baby them so that they do not rip apart. Im guessing if your taking 6hrs to do BB's @ 250, you must be opening the lid up/moping/ or doing a hell of alot of meat at once. my times...

    Spare vs. Baby Back

    This is a never ending debate though. Obviously one rack isnt better than another, just different.

    Spare vs. Baby Back

    Ive given up on spares. Maybe if I had something worthwhile to do with the breast bone and cartilage, Id revisit but BB's beat out spares 4-1 whenever I make both at parties. I dont buy into any tenderness debates cause both can be mush if over cooked. Id say if anything the spares have its the...

    Auto Temp controllers ???

    Ive thought about getting one. I think its pretty unnessisary though. I cooked for 5 years on a chargriller before I got a wsm. the wsm already feels like Im cheating. It would be awesome for entertaining just to have that reassurance and for competitions just to know you've eliminated another...

    BBQ Pitmasters & Butter

    Ive done a little experimenting when it comes to butter and chicken. I had read that the old regular "blue container" parkay was what everyone was using. Well all was fine and dandy but I just couldnt place this wrong flavor at first but it was from the Parkay. I switched to butter and it...

    Help: Pulled Pork the day before

    If you dont have a food saver and your doing it the next day at work, I would pull it into cake pans, cover and the next day at work reheat gently in the over. bring some apple juice to help keep the pork moist and yu might be suprised how somehow pork can taste better the next day. Its kind of...

    Butts sticking to the grill.

    clean grates help. honestly I rarely ever even touch the butts until its time to foil. Sometimes it happens, most of the time it doesnt stick. It could be because the fat cap. I always go fat cap up if I havent trimmed it off (which I also do 95% of the time
