So I need a portable grill that I can take with me camping/beach/cub scouts/etc. The smokey joe is just too small to cook for a family of six, so I'm looking at the 18" Jumbo Joe. I'm guessing hot dogs, hamburgers, and sausages will be the primary meats cooked, but would also like to grill corn...

After three failed attempts to smoke St Louis cut pork ribs......I'm finally going to ask for help. I'm using an 18.5 WSM, water in the pan, and getting the heat up to about 275*. I smoke for 3ish hours over Kingsford blue, with hickory and/or cherry wood. Then I foil them for another 2 hours...

I have a source that is selling red oak and white oak logs. Is one appreciably better than the other for smoking meat? My assumption is they would have a similar flavor. In any case, I'll probably grab some of both.......but thought I'd ask this forum anyway. TIA

As much as I love traditional East Carolina 'Q', I sometimes want to try something new. I stumbled across this recipe for an Asian style pork shoulder. IT WAS AWESOME!! I followed the recipe with the exception that I did not use the oven (of course). I used cherry on this cook since I didn't...

Lowes currently has two/20lb bags of Kingsford blue for $19.99. Not bad, but I feel like I've seen it much cheaper before. Does Kingsford tend to go on sale at some point in the year? Where? If so, I might buy a trunk full. At full retail, one smoke can burn through $10+ worth of charcoal...

LOL!!!! They should administer IQ tests before letting people sell on craigslist. $150-175 "firm"?? "Like new". http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/tls/4690742784.html

I figured this has been discussed before, but my search came up empty. In any case, as the title implies, I'm curious to see where you guys get wood for your smokes. I have a local firewood supplier that separates their wood by species. Their stock rotates based on whatever they happen to cut...

I was reading the article on the main page titled "starting a charcoal chimney". It outlined several products/methods you can use to start the chimney, but "alcohol-based liquid gel" caught my eye. Any reason hand sanitizer wouldn't work for this? Most contains 70%+ ethyl alcohol and is very...

So I bought a Genesis 310 (circa 2010ish) with the 'east/west' burner tube configuration (see my earlier post). It had been well used when I bought it and I knew I'd likely have to replace a few parts. Given the silly low price I paid, this is more than acceptable. One issue with the grill is...

I've cooked a couple dozen butts in my 18.5 WSM so far. All have always turned out reasonably moist and delicious. I never really felt injecting would make a big difference. Last week I was walking through Target, and they had a food syringe on clearance for $2.98. Being a cheap experiment, I...

I just scored a used Genesis 310 off Craigslist. Its been fairly well used by the original owner. I had to replace the flavorizer bars and the I'll probably replace the grates later this year. But this deal included a Weber rotisserie, cover, two LP tanks, a couple of cleaning brushes for $65. I...

I'm looking at a used Genesis 310. It has the newer body style, but the control knobs are still located on the right-side table. I assume this means the burner tubes run "east/west" or "left to right"? I've never owned a grill with a burner tubes situated like that. What are the pros/cons? I'll...

Being costco shoppers, I've found myself sitting on a boatload of boneless chicken breasts. I'm knida in the mood for some pulled chicken this weekend. I realize this is usually made with dark meat....but is it doable with boneless white meat (yes, I won't have to "pull" it)? Any recipe idea?

Hello. I lurked through this site for a few weeks before finally buying a WSM (18.5) last weekend. Smoked some wings the first day and they turned out GREAT. I also have a 18.5" Kettle and a Char-griller 3001 gas grill. I took next week off for my kid's Spring Break and plan to give all three...
