My wife loves ribs, so this weekend I decided to make her some BRITU. I followed the recipe, which seemed simple enough. However, when the ribs hit the cooker, the temperature dropped to about 230, then after a little while (an hour) it started dropping dramatically. I started opening the...

We smoked another turkey for Christmas. I think it actually came out BETTER than my thanksgiving turkey! As promised, I made a video of the process. It's about 11 minutes long and the high quality is about 19 MB (The lower quality is about 8.5 MB). Sorry for the poor sound, we're testing the...

Hi gang, I did my first turkey on thanksgiving. I bought a standard Albertsons turkey (it was buy 1 get 1 free) to do a test run (my turkey was not the big mama for dinner, just a test run for christmas). I basically followed the recipe on the COOKING page. I brined the turkey overnight...

OK... knowing my luck, this is Dan's stupid question #548473, but.... When you are smoking with both racks full of food, how do you turn the food in the bottom rack? I'm usually the only one doing it, and I want to hold the lid above, lift the top rack and turn the bottom rack... I only got 2...

Hi everyone, I've been practicing with my weber bullet. I have one important question. How do I keep the temperature from drastically dropping when I open the smoker to turn the meat? My smoker temp drops 30 degrees sometimes! Any help is appreciated. thanks!

Hi Gang, Thanks for all the tips here! I tried my first brisket on a midnight run. I used the Minion method of starting the smoker and put the brisket right on (I had trimmed and rubbed it the night before) with a thermometer in it (wireless). Brisket temp was about 50. I waited until the...

Well, I finally had a successful run with the WSM. I threw out the manual and did it with information on the board. I smoked cut chicken. I made a little mistake in not letting the coals completely heat before covering, so the temp was about 260 instead of my goal of about 325 (I like crispy...

Hi everyone, I'm ready to head home and smoke some chicken. My wife has already cut the chicken up. Any thoughts on how best to smoke it in pieces? I'm presuming just using the same method as butterfly chicken? Any help appreciated! thanks!

I live in the SF Bay Area (East Bay). Where's a good place to get a good brisket? If you don't live here, any suggestions on what to look for? The supermarkets around here have only completely trimmed briskets between 3 and 4 pounds. Hardly worth it, in my opinion. Thanks for the help!

I recently received my Weber smoker and used it for the first time last night. Sadly, I had not yet found this site and had only the weber manual to follow. I put in a slab of ribs and some pork chops (chops on top, ribs on bottom). At about 2.5 hours, I checked the temp of the chops and they...
