Hey everybody! I have a quick question. One of my friends asked if I would smoke them a pork shoulder for pulled pork. I happily agreed to do it. They went and bought a 9 lb shoulder. They brought it over and then told me to let them know how much they owe me. I was going to ask for $30. My wife...

Hello everyone! I am in a BBQ group on FB. The other day someone posted a pic of their smoked shoulder and it was black. A bunch of guys were giving him grief about how he had burned it. I stuck up for the poor guy because every time I make pork shoulder, it looks the same way. It is nice and...

Or does Smoked food seem to taste better the next day. I find that after smoking food and breathing in the smoke all day, the food is not as tasty to me until the next day. It's as if breathing in the smoke ruins my smeller and taster. Wondering if any of you have noticed this happening to you...

I have been having a taste for some some jerk chicken wings. I marinated the wings over night with some Walkerswood Jamaican Jerk seasoning. It is actually a paste and not a dry seasoning. I wasn't making very many so I decided to use my little Weber Smokey Joe to grill these. I started with...

Brisket is something I have been wanting to do, but have been fearful of it. I am afraid of ruining such an expensive cut of beef. I ruined some ribs once and that was only a $20 mistake. Brisket is at least double that price. Now that I have the 18.5" smoker, I decided I now have enough space...

Every year we celebrate Christmas with my in laws on Christmas Eve and every year for dinner we have a bunch of appetizers. This year I decided to make a grilled appetizer. I looked through pages and pages of recipes until I finally found the one I wanted to make. Armadillo eggs!!! I...

Today was the inaugural smoke on my new 18.5" WSM. I decided to do some baby back ribs that two of my coworkers had requested. I have them rubbed up with some of my homemade rub. I started the WSM using the Minion Method. I lit 10 coals. Once going, I added 3 chunks of cherry wood and put...

I have been using up my vacation days at work. Today I was bored and decided to buy myself a Christmas present. Last year I bought a 14.5" WSM. This year I decided I needed a bigger one so I went out and bought the 18.5" WSM. I am excited to do my first smoke hopefully this weekend. Thanks...

Hey guys! It has been a bit since my last post. I wanted to share this with everyone. A few weeks ago I had decided to try my hand at making jambalaya. When I decide to make something, I research what I want to make and come up with my own recipe. The more I thought about how to make it I...

Hey guys! I have had my 14.5" WSM since January and have done quite a few shoulders on it. I decided I want to try doing a brisket. I was at the store tonight and bought a 2.32 lb choice CAB flat. I should have done a little more research before buying this because I think I paid a little too...

Hey all! I have a question for those that have the 14.5" WSM. It seems I can never get anymore than 5 hours of cook time out of a full ring of charcoal before having to fill up again. Can the 14.5" go longer than 5 hours on a full ring of charcoal? I usually fill it up with Kingsford Blue...

Hey everyone! We are having my son's birthday party this Saturday. I normally grill burgers and dogs and everyone goes nuts for it. This year I am going to kick it up a notch and smoke a couple of shoulders and make pulled pork. I have the little 14.5" WSM and the last shoulder I made took about...

Last week I bought the 14.5" WSM. I had also bought some pork shoulders. I decided to give it a whirl this weekend. I have never had a smoker before, so this is the first time playing with one. Here is the 8.5 lb pork shoulder I trimmed it up some Then I slathered it with some yellow...

I have always been a big fan of BBQ, but my wife and kids not so much. When I heard that weber was coming out with a 14.5" WSM, I knew I had to have one. I was able to track one down at a local Ace Hardware My kids seemed to be really excited about it too for some reason. LOL! If has been...

Good morning everyone! My kids are really picky when it comes to food, so when we find something they like, we stick with it. I get tired of the making and eating the same old food all the time though. Last night I decided to try something new. I broke out my Weber wok and made a stir fry...

Hello all! My mom bought me the pizza stone for the BBQ system for my birthday. I don't know why, but I have never grilled a pizza before. I bought some Betty Crocker pizza dough mix to make the crust. Our family loves sausage pizza with my son being a cheese only fan. I made one full sausage...

I am a little behind and didn't know this was coming out until yesterday. I went to my local Ace Hardware to price it out, but they didn't have any in stock. The lady was nice enough to check other stores. She said that all of the other local Ace Hardware store have them in stock. I am going...

Hey guys! Her are a couple of cooks I did last week. The first are some sliders I made. I bought some beef off of a coworker of mine who had some extras from the cow he bought last year. I just sliced the roll, seasoned them with garlic salt and pepper and threw them on the grill. I...

Hello everyone from snowy IL. I have been getting the Weber Recipe of the week for years. There have been a few recipes that have looked good, but the one I received on Friday really caught my eye. It was for the grilled chorizo and black bean stew. I love stew. Add in chorizo and I knew...

Hey all! I wanted to share the awesome deal I found today. I went to The Home Depot to pick up some more Kingsford Blue. I was walking down the aisle and of course had to stop at the Weber accessories. This particular Home Depot had the 22.5” Gourmet BBQ System Sear Grate Set on clearance...
