Just picked this up from Lowe's after getting the call that it was in.... It's green. I had my fifteenth anniversary at work last month, and they award you with credits at certain retailers. I wanted one big thing, something that would last, and something I ordinarily wouldn't get for...

I know every one of you has been wondering it as you set the dampers on your WSM - the area of the opening is not linear with the rotation of the disk. If I want to set the openings to 1/3, for example, how far do I rotate the disk? It's not 1/3 of the way from the closed to open position...

My first cook after getting my 22" WSM in the first week of January was a brisket. Since then, I've also done shorter cooks for a duck and a turkey breast. Last weekend, my wife asked, "What are you going to smoke next?" That sounded like an invitation. When I was making an improvised...

I noticed while at Sam's Club yesterday (waiting for the guy to unload a truck since they were out of pork butts) that they have a sign offering special pricing on meat when buying by the case. Anyone know how much meat is one of Sam's cases?

I promise - I did a search of the forums and couldn't find an answer to this question. Can anyone recommend one or more reputable on-line restaurant supply stores that tend to have competitive pricing? I can find no restaurant supply stores here in Las Cruces. I suspect there are some in El...

Did I say my first cook was going to be an easy turkey breast roast? After talking to a BBQing co-worker Friday morning, and realizing that I got to leave early that evening, I went nuts and stopped on the way home at Sam's Club and picked up a brisket packer. There aren't any prep photos, as...

"Out for delivery." It comes TONIGHT!

We had no extended family with us for Thanksgiving, so thought we'd experiment and true the Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Breast from Weber's Way to Grill. I know that everyone who posts here has great success. Not so for me. This didn't go so well. With the recipe calling for indirect heat, I set up...

I just got an e-newsletter from Jameco saying that they are now carrying the Arduino experimenter builds. So if you want to build your own pit controller and need a reputable source, check it out.

I see so many posts here about cleaning the cooking grates. I don't know what the big deal is. I never do anything to them, and they remain perfectly clean.

What's the lowest temperature anyone has reliably maintained in a Smokey Mountain (WSM) using a automatic temperature controller?

My wife brought home "spare ribs" for me to BBQ last week from Albertson's. Or so the package said. My first reaction was, "Hmmm...that's a pretty narrow package for spares. Perhaps they are St. Louis cut," although there was no mention on the package of them being St. Louis cut. The night...

Anyone have an approximate pellet burn rate for the Fast Eddy Cooker FEC 100? Just for "typical" smoking temperatures. I realize the type of wood, temperature and such will make a difference. I was just curious at what it costs to operate. Especially if I have to mail order pellets.

For father's day, I got a Maverick ET-73. I did what I always do when I have a new cooking thermometer. I put it in a pot of water and heat it up to boiling to check that it works. I had both the food probe and smoker probe in the water as the water came to a boil. I pulled the probes out...

We were passing by the grills in Home Despot when the Performer caught my wife's eye, and an almost involuntary "ooooOOOO!!!" came out of her mouth. Good sign, right? I have a 22" One Touch Silver right now. The table was the first thing that caught her attention and she commented on. She...

I'm stuck in Southern New Mexico absolutely craving a chopped sandwich all the way (with slaw and a pickle) with a side of (Brunswick) stew from Chuck's BBQ in Opelika, AL. Even though my wife has only had a couple of times and didn't live in the area for over 11 years as I had, she's had the...

I've been lurking around here for what? Five years or more? I've come close to buying a WSM on a couple of occasions, but was never quite able to justify the expense. From lingering around here, I'd been encouraged to become a KCBS CBJ. But I still haven't BBQ'd anything. I had thought...

New addition to the family.... We just got a travel trailer in January. My wife said we needed grill for it. Naturally, that had to be a Smokey Joe.

Does anybody have any experience with the Bubba Keg? I saw one for the first time at Home Depot tonight. It is the general shape and function of a kamado-style ceramic cooker, but instead of ceramic, it was double layer steel. So, thermal mass-wise, maybe not quite as good as ceramic, but...
