    Meijer?

    We just had a Meijer open up in town but I haven't made a trip across town to it yet. Does anyone know if they sell full packer briskets? What about their meat department in general, good or bad?

    Time to stock up on Kingsford Blue

    Noticed this morning that Kingsford Blue is on sale now in time for Memorial Day weekend. Home Depot and Lowes both show 2-18.6lb bags for $9.88. However, my local Lowes shows a limit of 2 twin pack per customer so it'll be off to Home Depot for me.

    CyberQ on the way

    Finally pulled the trigger on a CyberQ yesterday after much deliberation. Can't wait for it to arrive and set up. These ATC systems aren't required to get great BBQ out of the WSM but it sure is going to be nice to set it up for a low and slow cook while I get some much needed sleep. I'll...

    Re-smoking smoked sausages

    Hey guys. So, I had a cow processed a couple weeks ago and while waiting on them to bring out my packages of beef, I noticed a selection of smoked sausages for sale. I bought a few packages and headed home. I fired up the WSM at 225, added some oak and hickory and placed a package (6 sausages)...

    Brisket success!

    I'm happy to report that my first brisket cook took place on the 4th and it turned out better than expected. I could tell my wife had doubts, I had my doubts too, even had burgers ready to go as a backup. Anyway, here's the rundown and some pics.... 7/1 - I picked up a 8.6lb Select packer...

    Who likes to w(rap)?

    It seems that a heavily debated topic is whether or not to wrap your meat during the cook. I understand that it can help speed along the cooking if you find yourself behind schedule. My question is, if time is not an issue, is there a good reason to wrap a brisket, butt, ribs, etc. during the...

    Another brisket noob here

    Add me to the list of those who'll be smoking their first brisket this weekend. Picked up a 9lb packer's cut (frozen) yesterday and put it in the fridge. Here's the plan using a combo of Franklin's method and advice gathered from the fine folks on this forum... Trim the fat to approx 1/4" Rub...

    Ribs on the 18.5" WSM

    Sorry if this has been asked countless times before but... (I did a quick search but didn't find what I needed) I've read a couple techniques to get a rack of ribs to fit on the WSM 18.5" grates such as using a rib rack and rolling up the ribs. What about simply cutting a rack in half and...

    Finally!! 18.5" WSM

    After months and months of hesitating, I finally bought my first WSM today. It wasn't without a little hassle though. I ordered it online via Lowe's for pickup this morning. I got an email an hour or so later saying it was ready for pickup, they even called me to say that it was ready. I...

    Brown sugar?

    I notice a lot of rub recipes call for brown sugar but don't specify if it's light or dark. Is one generally used over the other?

    Cover included?

    I visited my local Home Depot a couple months ago and noticed they were including a cover along with the 18" WSM. I'm about to pull the trigger on one and checked their website tonight to see about availability. The description says the cover is sold separately. However, in the online review...

    Hello from KY

    Hello everybody. I don't even have a WSM yet but have been browsing the site and forums, picking up all kinds of tips and tricks. It's kind of incredible how much good information is available. I currently have a Brinkmann Professional charcoal grill and do my best to BBQ on it but...
