Friday night, I had to toss close to 40# of pork on, but had no electric to run the Guru. Haven't done the manual mode for an overnighter for a long while. When I had everything settled in, it held great all night. Still nice to know how reliable this thing will cook even after using the Guru so...

I went to a local butcher shop Thursday, friend at work said they had a sign up, "pork shoulder, $.80/lb". Thought I would check it out. I was for the whole shoulder. I asked the kid if he would cut it for me, then I asked if I could just keep the "top" part. He must have been new, or it was a...

Anyone see the show with the guy from jacks' old south team on it? Pretty good show to watch. He was on 2 different times now. One for his outside cooking, ribs, pork and brisket, then the other day for "Indoor" BBQ.

I bought a twin pack at Costcos for $1.29/pound and pulled them out of the pack this AM to rub and put on the WSM. I didn't read the pack, and found out they were boneless. Nice hack job they did on the one. Never done boneless before, anyone prefer these over bone in? I would think they would...

I have Nu-Temp thermos. Someone gave my Wifey a CDN digital Thermo/timer unit. Anyone ever use one. I know nothing about them. Wifey doesn't want it, so I have another toy for temp checks.

I have been using the "off" brand starter for a long time. Broke down and bought the Weber starter, and like it a lot better. I know it held more, but it seems to light all the fuel a lot faster also. Glad I broke down and bought it!

'Til vacation!!! Going to pack up the WSM and take her to the beach. Going to BJ's before I go down to load up on meat. Picnics, Ribs, and a beef tip roast. Bratwurst and chicken can pick up down there. Hope to rake some clams and get some Flounder, or any fish for that matter to do on the...

I don't know what is going on, but the past two weeks, spares are hard to come by where I go. Found 1 pack at BJ's (wholesaler like Sams). I noticed the weight...11.34#'s. I never seen spares that big. I cut them in half, small side on the bottom rack, large side on the upper. (Using water this...

There is a furniture maker that has a lot of oak leftovers/scraps that gives it away near me. I would think this kiln dried oak would be good to use. I figure most of it is only 3/8-1/2" thick. I'll have to go check it out. Anyone else ever use this free way of getting oak?

Anyone ever try to mix this wine in with their sauce or make a sauce with it? Sounds good to me. May try it on one of may racks of spares today. I have used pineapple juice with good results, this caught my eye when I saw it. (Kevin, I know that you had to thought of this or tried it. I'd be...

I bought one of those non weber racks at Home Depot. (Charbroil maybe?) Some mentioned they are a pain to clean, and I agree. I used the rack a few weeks ago, set in the garage after the cook, and forgot about it. I bought a can of "Zeps" BBQ grill & Microwave cleaner at HD and used that to...

I have seen mentioned doing a whole pork shoulder by several people. The 1.5 to 2 hour per pound time frame, it wouldn't still apply here, would it? Unless it's that much cheaper per pound, what would be the plus of doing this over just doing several different Bostons or several picnics at one...

I have seen this many times posted here about no poultry on top. I'm going to have to ask a dumb question and say why? Bacteria in the drippings? If this is the case, what about when you do multi layers of chicken in the WSM.

I did my longest smoke Friday-Saturday. My 11# picnic took 23 hours to get done. I wait 'til the guru probe reads around 190, then use the Nu Temp to check other spots. The probe slid in so easy, I knew it was done no matter what the temps were reading. (193 on the Nu Temp). Outstanding, pull...

Have an 8.5# tip roast on, and will toss on some bratwurst soon. Using some apple wood for this smoke. In the 20's and windy. Winter will not let go!! Just got back from BJ's club. Bought some Boston butts for $1.29#. Have done nothing but Picnics since I bought the WSM. Can't wait to see if...

My 2 butts looked great as I pulled them off and wrapped them. Went to inlaws and the first 10# butt went fast! Went to pull apart the second on...what a mess! Must have been full of blood. Looks like it was cooked all through the meet in the middle. Cut it out and went on a "salvage" mission...

I have my 2 picnics on right now, been around 13 hours now. (one just over 10#, the other just under it) It dropped down into the 20's again at night, and I didn't put the heater wrap around it. Boy did THAT use up more fuel! I knew it made a difference, but forgot how much fuel this thing...

I was looking at this item so I can get more ribs done. I was reading the reviews on Amazon (I read your review there Chris) and have a question, Is this item helpful with Spareribs? I read that this rack can be a tight fit with B-Back's, it would be that much tighter with the spares...

Figures, in the 50's and even 60 degrees all week, and when I am off to cook, 20's! Oh well, never stopped me before. Tossing the pork shoulder on with Texas rub around Noon today, 11#'s. Have a 7.5 pound chicken and will do an apple/maple brine, then toss that on in the a.m. Sunday. I know...

Do to a good situation, I have 2 extra BBQ Guru eyelets that are not needed. If you are using temp probes and want to have one to run your wires through, let me know and I'll hook the first 2 people up that respond. Yes, for free lol. I already have 2 on mine, and only ever use one. I figure I...
