    How to qualify to invitationals in the US coming from Canada

    Hi everyone, I'm working on a project which includes researching how a competitive BBQ team from Canada can qualify to competitions such as The Jack Daniel's, Memphis in May, the American Royal Open etc. From what I can gather by googling information online, I've gathered that one can win the...

    What do you do for a living? *****

    I work in Vancouver's film industry as a First Aid/Craft Service member. First aid is explanatory, while craft service is the all day food guys. It's how I honed my BBQ'ing skills. I'll be working on Speilberg's sci-fi show Falling Skies which apparently no one really knows about in North...

    In Honor of Turkey Talk 2011 Opening . . . Who's in?

    I've got my 15lb turkey sitting in the Apple Brine right now. Procrastinated and forgot about the 8-12 hour air drying in the fridge. Instead I'm going to use my wife's hair dryer on the cool setting to help speed the drying out

    Half a Brisket???

    If you don't have a vacuum food sealer, you can always use zip loc bags. Just squeeze out the air best you can. When I cook I've often done an extra couple of butts or an extra brisket just to freeze. If you've got a full packer, it is best to protect the flat by cooking it whole with the point...

    Will a Rotisserie Made For A Gensis Work?

    Thanks George that clarifies things for me. I was just looking at some recipes and perhaps I would use it a bit more than I thought. A prime rib on a rotis would be pretty sweet.

    Will a Rotisserie Made For A Gensis Work?

    This is one of those accessories that I've always been on the fence with. For the price I thought why not, but at the same time I was wanting to do Brazilian style BBQ where the rump steaks are set on a roti and then thin slices are taken off as the outside cooks. Almost like I Gyro I suppose...

    Will a Rotisserie Made For A Gensis Work?

    Hi all, I've been offered to buy a rotisserie brand new for $65 but it's made for a Spirit and Genesis. Has anyone done a mod to be able to use this on either a 22 or 18" Kettle before? I was thinking I could get a friend to make me a ring to use if needed but since I've never seen a rotisserie...

    Do you season WSM prior to use?

    After I purchased a used WSM off CL I washed and cleaned the lid and center piece. I also high heat painted all the previous rusted areas. Most of the build up was pretty much gone after the clean. I was cooking up a brisket on another WSM and did a burn thru with all the fat cap trimmings...

    Water pan question

    This may be an old thread but I did a search to see if anyone had tried this because I'm actually having a difficult time finding a clay saucer larger than 10". However, locally they're blowing out a bag of ceramic briquettes for $6 plus change. I think I'm going to pick some up today to try out.

    Foiling An 18.5" Water Pan - A Solution

    I'm relatively new to using a WSM. Only 3 cooks so far and being so new I just watched YouTube videos lol I saw a vid that showed how to just foil the bottom of the bowl and then keep the inside bowl unfoiled. Keeps the bottom clean and I do what Chris does. I let it set overnight then scrape...

    Pulled Pork for 230 people how many butts?

    Allan LOL just like this evening I had my folks over for dinner. I've cooked 3 briskets every other day on my WSM in the last week. What I started yesterday was a complete trial run for the competition I'm in on Sunday. Despite it being one of the best briskets I've ever done, my mom kept asking...

    Pulled Pork for 230 people how many butts?

    Tony I'll have to keep an eye out for the results of your cook. I'm going to be in and around the same numbers the next round sometime in the Spring. Dave ya I was thinking the magic of pulling the pork live may be good. For the non bbq'ing folks, I don't even think they realize what a cooked...

    Pulled Pork for 230 people how many butts?

    Pat thanks I never even thought about that! Btw, another question. With this much meat, would it be best to pull it all at once or keep some foiled in cambros and pull them as needed? Not too worried about not having enough time pulling in a crunch as I'll have lots of help.

    Pulled Pork for 230 people how many butts?

    Thanks Micheal that more or less confirms what I was thinking. So around 10 butts which depending on the size of each, I'm thinking 8-10lbs a piece is what my supplier has. The most crazy part of this is that this is actually a dry run for a much bigger event at my daughter's school. They do a...

    Pulled Pork for 230 people how many butts?

    Brian lol you may be right. The good thing is I still have my Primo, but also 3 guys at the Firehall have GMG pelletsmokers that they'll let me play on I'm sure. As for photos for sure! I hope there's a zombie costume chomping down on a pulled pork sandwich for me to share lol

    Pulled Pork for 230 people how many butts?

    Thanks for the reply. Ya that catering spreadsheet is awesome. I've seen that before. Normally I would have just used that. In this case I feel like I'm just winging it because of the unknown factors of how many people will buy a pulled pork sandwich. When I make sandwhiches on the film sets...

    Pulled Pork for 230 people how many butts?

    Hello all. The Firehall I'm at does an annual fund raiser for our local Children's Hospital during a Halloween Dance. Every year I'm in charge of the food and with the guest's ticket price they get free food. This year we're trying something different. We will try to sell pulled pork sandwhiches...

    Burnt, burnt ends?

    What's great about the point when making burnt ends is that their usually is a lot of remaining fat left compared to the flat which is so much leaner. What I like to do is chop the point into small bite size pieces (think meat candy) and then place either directly on the grill on a frog mat...

    Ceramic Weber?

    Well it happened. Costco in Canada just priced dropped their Vision Kamados to $399. Down $150 and since the price drop last Tuesday, my local store has only sold 2. Not sure of the market in the US but for sure if Weber sold ceramics in Canada, few people would buy them. Especially if in the...
