    Weber Rack Brisket

    After seeing so many good threads about Weber expandable rack cooking I just had to buy myself one, so I got one for the 22" WSM. The thing is very sturdy and fits neatly on the tabs for the upper cooking grate. The hooks provided by weber were a bit tricky to figure out but I trusted them...

    Rotisserie turkey or don't sweat the technique

    I made a 15 lb bird for a client's holiday party. Used LarryR's maple bourbon brine for 24 hours as usual. Got the silver C set up at 8am and I left to take my son to school. Got home at 8:30 to start a ham on my mini (sorry not pictured). The genesis was 300 degrees with only the front...

    Trends in competition chicken

    Hi Donna, Was wondering what you could say, generally, about what's working in chicken these days from your experience. Have you seen any teams with "grilled" style skin (i.e., crispy) be successful? In your experience are judges getting tired of the "perfect chicken satchel" boneless...

    Wood chips & Creosote

    Last night I prepared some chicken legs and thighs using my WSM-mini. I used my standard BBQ chicken marinade and rub, and tossed all 8 pieces on the top rack of my mini for about 90 minutes until they were cooked through. Normally I use wood chunks for smoke, but I was out of chunks so I used...

    Case hardening

    I know I dole out a lot of advice on here about air-drying meat, but I'm far from an expert. Here's a recent batch of salami I hung. I fermented this using yogurt as a culture, and hung it in my chamber at 10-15C 50-65F at 80%RH at first and then adjusted down to 65-70% RH. This took about a...

    I went and built myself a cold smoker. This is an aluminum/copper plated tin I got at the thrift store. In the bottom there's a hole with a T-valve, connected to an aquarium air pump. On top of that is about 6 steel wool scrub pads, and a grate I cut out of 1/4" grid chicken wire. On top of...

    Emulsified sausages, tasso, and buckboard

    Emulsified sausage - this is weisswurst in sheep casings. Used some inspiration from Ruhlman & Polcyn to riff on Len Poli's weisswurst recipe.

    2 in one sous vide and ATC system.

    Hey guys, I posted my sous rig in a couple places here on TVWBB and I also mentioned in one of those threads that there were some bugs with the system as built. Namely, the thermocouple is picking up electrical signal noise from the heating elements. I also, while cooking some veg at 85C the...
