As someone who enjoys an occasional Baseball game (go Brewers?), but really an AVID fan - that game yesterday (with the exception of a minor error or two) was a "thing of beauty". The pitching and defensive play were really something to see. It's nice to see somebody representing the NL OTHER...

I'm pulling for the Cubbies this year, even though I am a Brewers fan. Somebody in the Land of Lincoln should probably BBQ-up some goat in "effigy" as a precautionary measure.... (Isn't that sort of a big thing at Chuch Festivals in one of the Carolinas?) I've heard from reliable sources that...

With Brisket - make sure that you KNOW what you're cooking: Just the Flat or Full Packer? Then, do some reading on here for a technique that was used on the cut that you are using. Getting these mixed-up is likely to result in near disaster. As others have said - I would do a few cooks with...

I'm no expert - but I'm improving. However: I usually mix my smoke wood in with the un-lit (maybe a bit heavier dose on top) in order to get continuous smoke wood flavor as the charcoal burns down As for using ATC - I cannot offer anything smart in that regard Good luck!

Ooooohhhh..... Looks like you may be "on to" something: Indian flavors with a kiss of smoke. Me Likey! :smilekettle:

Man o man, Cliff! First - the bread looks like the stuff that restaurants "air-brush" on their adds, and I know that you did not. Actually, it looks better than the stuff at the pricey "artisan" bakery down the street. Isn't baking bread kinda' therapeutic? I find that when I have the time...

I suspect that is at least PART of the picture. Plus, I would bet that A LOT of hogs get bought-up at this time of the year in order to have all of those Christmas Hams ready in time. One would think that higher demand = higher prices, but maybe the competition to sell drives prices down a bit...

Wow - impressive Looks like somebody is quite the prepared / experienced Archer! That bow does not even look like the HEAVY sort of thing that I would expect to see being used for bear (but then again, my knowledge of archery, especially traditional, is pretty limited...)

Great post, Mike! I agree - when kids are old enough to understand, it's good that they learn how it gets to the table. (I still have the image in my head from when I was about six, with some headless Muskovy Geese running around the back yard from my Dad and his friend...) You going to be...

What HE says ^^^

Enrico smacks ANOTHER one out of the park (or is it kicks one out of the Stadium?...) What is your opinion on that Vortex / Cone thing? If sure seems to work nicely for wings when you set it up like you did. Looks like they got nice and browned & crispy on the outside / still juicy on the...

If you've got Hickory Wood (Split?) but it's too big - maybe do what I did: I found a nice but old Electric Chop Saw at an estate sale (even came with a fairly sharp carbide-tooth blade). I carry it outside, plug 'er in, and make-up a small box full of right-sized chunks from split logs or...

Greetings fellow North-Centralite! If you were able to get good results with the Franken-Smoker; then moving up to the WSM should be a piece of cake, once you get the hang of it. (I hear that smoked Wolverine is particularly tasty... [Then again, I shouldn't talk too much trash - I went to...

Greetings fellow cheesehead! Don't know if it's the version that you did, but if not - you gotta' try the BRITU (search it and you'll understand what I mean)

FOR THE GARAGE: I would think about making a rack out of 2X4's or maybe get an inexpensive wire shelf (the sturdy kind, with the tubular legs with "Tootsie-Roll Grooves" and tapered chucks for shelf adjustment) Keep it off the slab - minimizes bugs If it's in your garage - I would think about...

Greetings from the "little Germany" of the USA! You're going to LOVE it here - so much to learn and have fun discussing and fill your belly with good eats... We speak Deutsche here too (although I took Spanish...): -Bratwurst! -Schweinshaxe! -Sauerbraten! -Bier! (some of these lend themselves...

I'm sure that your nice Green Machine is QUICKLY gonna' replace that black thing that's sitting next to it. I'm a firm believer that a Used Weber is better than about 80% of other brand-new gassers. They do HOT and fast and low and slow and everything between You're going to love it! Hey it's...

Scratch-made sauce or store-bought? I know that I like the "Caribbean Jerk" sauce at BW3 (gots just the right amount of "crreeepp-up on ya'" heat and that combo of sweet and spice...) Add some REAL smoke like yours and it would be even betta' Hope that they were half as good as they look...

You guys are right about the crusty bread - but you're still missing one last item to make it a nearly perfect "Bo-Hunk" style meal (what my F-I-L says): -Good crusty bread -Cold BEER! But DANG dude! That looks really good (I should know better than to check this website close to lunch time...)

If you occasionally make trips over the hump into California - if you get into orchard or wine country and ask the right people, you may be able to pick up some local: -Trimmed branches from Citrus or Fruitwood trees -Old, thick grapevine stalks -cut-up chunks of recycled wine barrels All of...
