    Stoker Probes...anyone have details on adopting the serial number?

    I found out only about a year ago that Rock's BBQ went out of business. In the past there was a thread over on the Egghead forum that comes up with google searches, but that URL that was linked to where a guy was talking about making DIY probes for the Stoker. Since the URL disappeared, I got...

    Help me out with thoughts on the Performer series, I think I've narrowed it down...

    Looking for some advice. My problem is my Kettle...I bought it a year or two after me and my wife got married, gonna be 32 years this month. It's an original 22.5" Kettle, old style ash tray with the funky spring clips, I see they still sell that model...I've gone through 4 grills, 3 charcoal...

    Beef Short Ribs - a new favorite of mine on the WSM...

    Haven't been around here posting in a while, but rest assured I'm still using my WSM and other Weber kettles and such... I've often wondered why we don't see more low and slow short ribs, and that if they were cooked similar to brisket the collagen should break down at 190 degrees...I did try...

    Kettle on last leg, but hey, what's that in the weeds?

    My trusty 22 1/2" Kettle is starting to fall apart, the one-touch lever is loosing one of the wings and the inside is finally weakening. I'm on my 3rd grill and 2nd coal grate, bought it when me and my wife first got married...*weep* Well, I recently am renting a small yard in Morgan Hill and...

    Ono, hawaiian for good (Charcoal)

    I have searched a few times over the past month or two, thinking you guys here were the masters of 'que fuel, but haven't seen mention of ono. Nothing on naked whiz either...remember, don't leave your Weber in the rain, you'll get rusty!*wink* Knock that rust off and get with the plan...it's...

    Hand forged steak turner...

    A smithy friend of mine forged this up and sent to me as a gift, a hand forged steak turner... Got rained out on Sunday evening when I was gonna try it out, but the weather folks were on our side in Cali today, so I tested it out on a tri-tip. I know my style of cooking tri-tip goes against...

    Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!

    It's that time of year that the yaki-tori meets the sake, and good cheer flies freely. We have an annual Sho-Gatsu party at our house, and I always do yaki-tori, it's tradition every year rain or shine. Good chance for me to get rid of the bag of Cowboy/Whole-Foods-365 Hardwood Charcoal also...

    The way Stokerlog stokes...

    I have noticed that Stokerlog seems to blow the fan for long periods of time to get the temp to rise. It seems that when not using Stokerlog that the Stoker itself will puff in bursts. These would seem to be more effecient and/or be able to raise the heat more rapidly, wouldn't it?

    Breast of veal, how would you cook in the WSM?

    I went over to Lunardi's in Los Gatos today, and was looking for something different. Saw the breast of veal, which looked interesting...my family loves ribs, and these look like veal spareribs. What would be a good rub to use on these? Would you use a beef rub? I will trim them up St. Louis...

    What a disappointment...

    Had a potluck for my company today for our Halloween party. Got up at 5:00am to cook some ribs, and smoked them for almost 5 hours at 250-275. One rack was spoiled and had a section in the center of the meat which was spoiled in the center. I couldn't tell if something smelled odd or not, but...

    BRITU rub on spares?

    I'm cooking both BBs and spares tomorrow and was planning to use BRITU rub on the spares as well as the BBs. Do you masters of the 'que use the same rub on both, or is there something else you use on spares? Pig is pig, right?

    Blue Ribbon contender for Labor Day Weekend!

    Folks, So many great meals cooked over the weekend, a lot of good times, and we had smiles on our faces at our house. This is without a doubt, one of the nicest pieces of meat that I have seen in quite some time, and I have to give my vote for LarryR's Wagyu tri-tip. This is such a fine...

    Stokerlog changing pit target when lid opened...

    I notice that Stokerlog does seem to detect when I open the lid, but when it does so it seem to set my pit target to an odd value. There must be some logic wrong, it did this at least 2 times, in an 8 hour burn. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I know it reset the value to a value that I don't...
