Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I was planning on doing a butt cook and then a rib cook for Christmas Eve. Had somethings come-up and it looks like I’m going to have to combine my cooks. I’m thinking I’ll add my ribs over my butts with about 5 hours left in my butt cook. Has anyone done...

My go to method for packers is high heat, done it for years, with great success. Smoking my first point only and this weekend and not sure if I should go low and slow or high heat on her. Anyone do points only have thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!

Started doing keto diet end of last year, down 50+ lbs, haven't smoked anything in that time not due to diet, just too busy. Going to smoke this weekend and I was curious if anyone on here has done any ketogenic friendly rubs? Thanks in advance!

Hoping to get some help on not burning my darn chicken thighs. I now eat Keto (high fat/low carb diet) and I've been leaving the skin on my chicken thighs vs. removing the skin like I have for years. Problem is I burn the darn things every dang time from the flair-ups. I'm cooking on a 2 year...

So I purchased these really cool light switch/auto-timers to replace my standard rocker switches. My neighbor came over to show me how to install one telling me they are easy and I could do the rest myself. Honestly, didn't look that easy to me, even though he did it in 5 minutes so I hired a...

Unfortunately I think the time has come to get rid of my circa 2002(?) Genesis. Been holding on to her for sentimental reasons, rehabbed her twice but now she just sits in the corner watching the other grills get the action. I don't have the time to do another rehab and even if I did I'm not...

Any thoughts on this topic? Wife and I found nice pre-fab unit that will suit our needs for $12,000. Includes Grill, 12x14 cover, tile counter tops, bar seating for about 6, fridge, two ceiling fans. Not doing a sink as I don't want to mess with the plumbing. My other thought is to do one Owner...

Purchased an E-330 last year, this spring I've decided to install what is really more of an outdoor grilling area vs. kitchen. Not planning on doing a sink but will have a grill, space for my ceramic, fridge. I've posted a picture of a setup similar to what I want to do. Here's my question...

Finally going to put my circa 1993 Genesis out to pasture (actually I'm going to hide it in my garage from the wife until I have to time to rebuild her again) and get a new Genesis. I'm torn between the E310 and the E330. It's only $100 difference, however, $100 is $100. With my current gasser...

Firming up our T-Day plans and confirmed family is coming to our place in Vegas this year! Going to be doing Jack Daniels and Maple Syrup bird. Anyone else going drunken bird this year? Here's a link to my original post on the brine My-Jack-Daniel-s-Maple-Syrup-Brined-Turkey-w-Pics It's a great...

Chris, couldn't think of a great place for this so I thought I'd put it here vs just conversation, feel free to relocate if you feel there is a more appropriate location. Just wrapped-up Phase I of our backyard in the new house - Pool, simple landscaping (more to come next year), 22 tons of...

So I think it's time to retire my circa 1993 Red Genesis rather than rebuild her for a third time. I think the major difference between the Spirt and Genesis is size, correct? Anyone with a Spirit wish they'd gone bigger and those who went big do you ever think smaller would have worked fine...

Been very busy so I was looking for a quick cook last night, so after reading so many posts about Chuck Eyes I figured I'd try the cook. Picked up two 24 oz steaks, choice grade and fairly well marbled. I salt tenderized them for 1 hour, let them rest on the counter for another hour. Took grill...

I'm doing an owner builder pool = I'm the general contractor working with subs who work for pool companies. I'm doing my build in two phases; pool, decking and gazebo phase I, bbq area/outdoor kitchen and above ground spa phase II so I'm trying to plan ahead for phase II and do what makes sense...

Due to completely blowing out our pool/landscaping budget I'm going to have to put my outdoor kitchen construction into phase II. Want to do it right with all the bells and whistles the first time. So, it looks like my grilling area will be my patio that I'm going to have re-done in the same...

Getting ready to finalize my pool/landscaping designs and I'm stuck on the fire pit. At first I was thinking natural gas but after hanging out around one on a cool night I've decided they're really more for decoration than generating significant heat (btw I do think they look cool). My next...

Bach'd it over weekend so figured I'd have fun with fire. Did another chimney steak. Total cook time 5 minutes. Great sear with a nice char on the outside, perfect temp on the inside for my tastes. If you haven't done a chimney cook I highly recommend, they're a lot of fun.

Any Kid Rock Fans out there? Heard his new single today and I've got to say quite a song, took me back about 30 years, also to a time when music videos were becoming relevant unlike today. Anyway, been a fan for years and I'm really digging this new tune, going to order the CD later tonight...

When do you buy yours? I usually hit the store first thing in the morning on Tuesday and go home and throw her in the brine. This morning I was speaking with the butcher and he suggested I buy today (Saturday) because the fresh birds are good through Nov. 30th. Anyone have any thoughts on this...

I was in in Irvine the other day so I thought I'd stop by and see if the Wood Shed was still there (Mike the former owner passed away) and sure enough it was. Picked-up up a couple bags of wood, chatted with Mike's niece? Anyway his wife is running the business now and they've expanded their...
