    Deck lighting for the grills

    Your ideas would all work. In my opinion decide if you are looking to light your deck for yourself and friends to enjoy sitting on the deck in the evening or if it is to shed light on your grill for cooking. My wife and I enjoy sitting on our deck with minimal or no lighting and maybe a candle...

    Thoughts on what went wrong

    Living in central Iowa I also deal with the cold temps. I have several thoughts on what could have contributed to your experience. 1. The cold temp and wind could have lead to more air circulating up through your WSM than normal. 2. The larger amount of fuel, and more fuel in the chimney...

    Smoke Woods with After Taste

    I agree with Dustin and would add to make sure the type of wood is matched to the product you are smoking. Strong works like mesquite will over power poultry and give you what some would refer to as an after taste.

    Looks like it probably resulted in some nice plates of beef and a full tummy.

    Smoked Salmon - When is it Done?

    I have smoked salmon and trout several times. I start by dividing the salmon fillet into sections that are similar in thickness to give me the ability to remove sections when they are done rather than dealing with the entire fillet. I find that the sections take in the range of 1 1/2 to 2 1/2...

    New WSM 22.5 lid won't sit correctly

    Glad it is working out for you. I have the 18 and the size is perfect for the size of my smokes. 2-4 pork butts, or 4 racks of ribs, or a turkey. Easy to control the temp and uses less fuel than the bigger one. I also have a 14.5 so I can have lots of options.

    A late Christmas Dinner

    We waited until today for our annual Prime Rib Christmas dinner. I let the rib roast age in the refrigerator for 6 days. I used a simple SP&G rub. Also cut slots in the roast for slivers of garlic. Everyone enjoyed and sat back stuffed

    Help! Can this brisket be saved?

    Ohh not a good situation to wake up to. It is tough to decide how to proceed without being there. If it was mine I would consider separating the point from the flat. Cube the point, Bbq sauce heavily and foil to try to salvage as burnt ends. Depending on the temp of the flat I would probably...

    Cornish Hens for Thanksgiving

    Yes on the hens. They were a standard 2 pack from HyVee grocery. The wine was a nice Cabernet Sauvignon out of South Africa

    Cornish Hens for Thanksgiving

    Since it was going to be just the two of us we decided to have something a little different. Cornish Hens fit the niche and filled our stomachs. Two hours at 230-250 with pecan wood did the trick

    Leftover prime rib

    Great idea. Personally my family is not familiar with the concept of "left over prime rib". LoL
