13qt Winco bowl for the 18", but it is a little deep and can affect amount of charcoal. For 22" I think Vollrath 20qt is what we use. Running 3x 22" 6 days a week and those bowls have held up for 2.5 years.

I haven't been around for a bit so I may have missed this but does anyone know when the stainless steel grates skyrocketed in price ? After a 9 month hibernation I fired up my SS Performer at the lake house this weekend and notice the grates weren't in the best of shape. Every spring I say I...

Try just those three then you have no hot/cold cycles.

Looks like it turned out great for you. I cook most of my pork at 275 or so but don't consider it high heat. For me high heat is 325-375. The ones I cook in that range I usually foil to even out the cooking. For pulled pork there isn't a huge difference in the end results between the two. The...

I had a cheap model food saver for years and it worked well. However I started sealing a lot of meat a lot more of the time so I stepped up to a more expensive model. I have the pro 2300 from Weston and its amazing. I believe someone posted a link above with the reviews on it. If you don't need...

For me spraying ribs only slows down the cook by 1. Losing heat by opening the lid and 2. Adding water to the outside of the ribs which must then be heated and cooked off. It does not add any substantial flavor for me. It can help control the bark since the moisture being sprayed must be cooked...

Three things I have found to improve skin, which is very similar to what you mention. Drying via refrigerator overnight, salting to pull out moisture, and use a jaccard instead of a knife to pierce the skin.

Charcoal is not considered a dangerous good by air which are the regulations for the airlines. Every airline should have a list on their website of what you can not bring. But I am with Bob, I wouldn't lug around charcoal.

I'd reheat the pork before anything else and wouldn't waste beef ribs to be reheated. What about butts and brisket on the 18", ribs on kettle and chicken on the 18" once the butts and brisket finish up ? You said no high heat but it makes things like this much easier.

And another thing too hot to handle for some people is 130. Turn your water on its hottest setting, let it run, then take the temp and put your hand under it. Also unlike cooking when you are holding it is not interior temp its exterior since the meat cools from the outside in. I am not saying...

If your confident in your low and slow times on the brisket and butts then go with it. Beef ribs low could take 7 hours if they are thick. Instead I would smoke until a nice color at three hours then foil till tender. Chicken on the kettle.

Reheating them in water would definitely be the way to go.

Bob, in my experience 160° won't be done for your hams & shoulders on a whole hog. Although this is different from cooking butts for pulled pork you still need to get the hams and shoulders tender, and at 160° they won't be.

Home depot is about the same, $12.88 / 40 lbs. My ad mentions a 10 pack limit (better than Lowe's 2) which I've never seen before. Valid 8/29 - 9/4

Just got the email, $12.88 / 40 lbs (2x 20#) = $0.32. Not as good as previous and my ad says limit 10 packs per customer. Guess I will have to go twice. Valid 8/29 - 9/4

You will definitely see a large variance in cook times out there because of the different methods and size. I've done them but always on my Lang so my times (1 hour per 10 lbs at 250-275°) aren't much help for a cinder block cook. Also mine are not split and laid out but I am trying that on the...

And check your hd flyer next week, they should list their sale in that one. If you look at Lowe's its "early" labor day.

Sams must have changed since last time I looked, theirs came up to 0.34 last time I looked.

I will be waiting. Just got the HD weekly flyer and no mention of their labor day sale yet. For the Lowe's price I can just get it at Sams or RD, it's about the same per pound. And again, Lowe's usually has a limit. HD does not.

Just got the email my local Lowe's will have the 2x20# for $12.99 for their Labor Day sale and it's running early. Not the greatest deal @ $0.325/lb. I think Sam's club usually has KB for that. Home Depot usually comes in at $0.25/lb or less. That and Lowe's usually has a limit. Hopefully the...
