    Fire on Ice, my first KCBS comp

    Congratulations on popping your cherry at the most extreme KCBS contest in the US. I was one down from you. I remember seeing the unknown hinge and being surprised at how HD they are in person.

    WSM vs Backwoods Smoker thoughts

    Im a little biased... i think Insulated reverse flows are the ultimate for MN cooking :) we compete on a Backayard Bomber MJH and a Humphreys BB'cube But it wasnt until we found out about the wsm almost a decade ago that BBQ became fun. WSM's are as set it and forget it as there is in nice...

    WSM vs Backwoods Smoker thoughts

    The only thing a reverse flow vertical shares with the "Propane/electric" pits is a general shape. Many people still keep wsm's because they are awesome for what they are. Backwoods/Humphreys/Pitmaker/Stumps/ect are specialized units and not for everyone. Impervious to weather, Large capacity...

    Smokin' in Steele

    had great weather our last 2 contests. either the odds are balancing out in our favor, or SIS will have tornados.

    CyberQ Wifi -- Current thoughts?

    Guru does offer a tech support service for a fee that they will remotely connect to your computer and set up infrastructure so you can go back to it easily. Ive had just a horrible time with Ad Hoc at contests. We are going to bring a router and run our own network and keep them in...

    For all the Minnesota/Twin Cities people.

    Probably not. Got to curb the spending somewhere and open weekends are a premium commodity this season. Heard last year was pretty good.

    For all the Minnesota/Twin Cities people.

    I had a guy I knew go to a rib class there once. Him and his wife loved it. Not sure how competition based it was, but it did sound like a good time was had

    Kingsford Competition Charcoal

    to the poster referencing Wicked good Briquettes, they are almost impossible to get right now. You might want to checkout Humphrey's Natural Briquettes. neat stuff. very different than regular K. you can actually see the chunks of lump pressed into the shape.

    Personal Cooking

    I can imagine that you are an insanely busy man, do you get a chance to just kick back and grill/bbq for yourself these days?

    Texas Monthly's Interview with Aaron Franklin

    I think he is cooking around 300. depending on how big the briskets are, I guess it could be done. I know there is no way his stick burners are even in temp front to back

    Butcher paper vs aluminum foil

    Ive been using butcher paper. seems to do a great job keeping a very moist enviroment without the steam cooking effect of foil. I havent gone back to foil for a good A-B test but my briskets are more in line with unwrapped briskets. great for home use. Ive almost got too much bark to slice...

    So what led you to buy a 26" kettle?

    When my OTP bites the dust, I wont hesitate to go 26. the room is luxurious when using indirect. Hopefully there will be a 26" OTP by the time mine bites the dust

    Johnny Trigg Ribs

    a little food for thought. I was testing some tweaks to my process this winter and experimented with oil rubbing and I kept noticing the near complete lack of smoke ring on the ribs. Im guessing it doesnt matter to most people that foil and dont get a ring anyways

    DigiQ DX2?

    Love mine so much that I bought a second one so both my pits would be controlled. yes it is expensive but they really do some work when the weather conditions are not ideal and it provides the ability of selecting specific temps to target. When running naturally, my wsm was very solid but...

    ATC with offset somokers

    the key to ATC systems is the ability to control the airflow. most cheap offsets leak air big time. I supose it might help out a little bit but the chance of it being a nightmare is extremely high
