    What temperature do people cook their pork ribs to?

    I dont temp either. Baby backs go for 3 hours @250, then I foil wrap w/pineapple juice and return for 2 more hours*. Sauce, and finish on a hot grill to caramelize/char. *This is for fall off the bone, which I love. Some, and most competitive pit masters, like a little chew/tug off the bone...

    Lid off?

    Does anyone else grill with the lid off on their charcoal grill? I like a killer sear on most stuff, and with the lid off, the fire is hotter, and I get that lick of flame for a nice char. Now dont flame me (no pun intended), I know you get more even heat distribution, no flare ups, and faster...

    Nathan's Foot Long Hot Dogs

    Everybody has a right to their opinion...even if its wrong. ;) But seriously, just a few observations/comments on your video...all beef hot dogs are ALWAYS more lean. Me and my family dont care for all the grease and fat in most dogs. We also can taste the quality and great flavor of the Wagyu...

    Nathan's Foot Long Hot Dogs

    We are a hot dog family, and love the snap of Nathans, but the absolute best dogs weve ever had, are Snake River Farms Wagyu Frankfurters. Its the only dogs we eat now...theyre that good.

    Dialing in an adjustable lid thermometer to read grate temp

    Is this a serious question?? In certain cooking situations, the dome can be 25-40 degrees hotter than at the rack. Dome thermometers should generally be avoided.

    Dialing in an adjustable lid thermometer to read grate temp

    I dont think this is a good solution, bc you just found the problem with it. The grate temp, verses the dome temp will never be the same difference across the temp band bc of varying factors, like flow, and weather (sun, wind, rain, temp, etc.). The gen III WSM has a silicone grommet in the...

    How much charcoal for 2-3 hours of 18.5" WSM?

    A pound and hour has always worked for me.

    Any difference in gens?

    I had a gen 1 WSM for 18 years, and just replaced it with the newest model. Has anybody gone through this, and if so, are there any noticeable changes in operation/temp/cooking, etc? TIA!

    Prime Ribeyes

    Im old school. Stellar hot grill (550+) for a killer sear. If the inside hasnt reached 120, I move them to indirect.

    Prime Ribeyes

    USDA requires meat gradings of Choice, Select, and Prime. Prime is graded if it meets the minimum fat content/marbling. They probably just made the grade, as I too have seen more marbling in some Prime, but there is indeed a range. These came from Giant Eagle. But dont get me started on...

    Dome Temp Gauge 100 degrees high?

    Me either. The dome will be hotter than the rack. I use this Smoke thermometer. Its has a grate clip, so you can get an accurate reading right where the meat is cooking. It is wireless, and has programmable HI and Low set points.

    How did you get into bbqing/smoking food?

    My Grandfather owned a meat market, and my Father was the pit master. I think I was like 8 when he served pulled pork from a smoked shoulder.

    Boneless Beef Short Rib grind

    Boneless Beef Short Rib. One of my favs to grind. Grinding. Little ove 9oz. Always remember, never over work the meat. Into the ring mold. Perfect patty. Im guessing this grind is like 70/30. Cooked on my Smokey Joe to a perfect med-rare (Sorry, no money shot this time :(), but it was...

    Smokey Joe mod

    Yes. I tried to explain...I put the vent to the full open position, and drilled both at the same time for each hole. Worked perfectly, and the vent worked fine when done.

    Woo Hoot, major score!

    You should always do a hot burn before use, it will take care of impurities and grease/oils from construction. I believe Weber even says so.
