    Fire went out....

    Dave, I had the them 1/3 open on all three vents--with a full unlit charcoal ring and 20 lit briquettes on top, that will usually keep 230-250 at the bottom grate for me for several hours.

    Fire went out....

    Well, I did a taste test on Friday evening and it was delicious. I pulled the meat and placed it on baking sheets and moved them to the freezer. Once semi-frozen, I sealed the meat in foodsaver bags, froze them, and then transported them to the lake house and served them Saturday night...

    Fire went out....

    July 4th Smoke - What's ya cookin'?

    Prime Ribeyes on the kettle on Friday. 2 briskets going on the WSM at 8pm Friday evening. Scored a 14-cup Cuisinart food processor for cheap on Amazon--it makes the slaw a lot easier to make. Going out on a limb and attempting my first blackberry pie on Saturday.

    Chicago Tribune article on Ribs using a kettle

    Evan, This is John Kass's second column/video on BBQ in the past month--prior to the first column, I had no idea he was such a smoke-head. Say what you want about his columns, but I have a lot more respect for the man after reading his columns about BBQ. Mike
