Hi! I'm going to be smoking a lot of beef briskets next weekend and I'm wondering where I should go for them. I found Peoria Packing on here and loved that place...but they are more for pork. I saw some blurps about excel corned beef on here as well. Is this still open to public for...

I just stumbled across this blog about 'making bacon'. Turns out the guy uses a WSM and thought others would appreciate this article... http://www.bsbrewing.com/blog/?p=261

Hi! I made a minor mistake. I bought four slabs of a whole spare rib. I was in a rush to get them on, so I prepared them like I would BRITU. After I put them on, I checked the web site for whole ribs, and saw that you should trim them before you put them on. Woops. So, will it take...

Hi! I have one of those Weber wireless thermometers. It's been working good for about a year, but now, all of a sudden, the thermometer does not read what it should! I just powered it up, and it instantly read 199 degrees, when it should be like 70 degrees. I let it sit for awhile, then...

Hi! I'm a little embarrassed to ask what beef brisket is! How do you serve it? I'm guessing it's similar to pulled pork and you eat it on a bun. The reason why I ask is that I tried to make a really small beef brisket a few weeks ago and it turned out horrible. It was way overdry and...

Hi! I have been reading a lot of posts about PP in Chicago. I've never been there before, but it sounds like it's probably one of the best places for pork in the city. I'd like to get a few pork butts for next weekend. I'm looking to smoke 4 of them (approximately 20 to 25 pounds...

Hi! I'm going to be using the minion method tonight for a pork shoulder, and before I get started, I would like to make sure I understand everything. I expect the weather to be upper 50's, lower 60's tonight with no wind or rain. OK, first, you take about 20 briquettes and light them in...

Hi! I was wondering if there's any advantage/disadvantage to making the bottom of the water pan spotless. I do not use foil on it because it's a headache for me to clean. (Didn't try the HD stuff, just the regular stuff was too small and leaked). I do clean the bowl well, but as you...

Hi! Just thought I would vent my frustration! Went to sams tonight and they did not have pork shoulders or butts!!! Grrrr! I wanted to run over to costco to see if they had them there, but it was too late and they were closed already. Has anybody else had problems finding stuff like...

Hi! While reading the article on starting the smoker using the minion method, the author made it sound like putting unlit charcoals could cause a health risk. Is this true? Why? The only thing I could think of is that maybe unlit charcoal has some sort of additive so that it lights and...

Hi! Just wondering if anybody here has bought a cow. I know this sounds strange because I've never heard it done before, but here's the low down. There's this place that you can go to and purchase a whole cow. They will then butcher it all up to your liking and then you can cook it...
