    Smoke Hollow combination gas and charcoal gril

    Been looking at some of the on-line ads for this smoker which has both gas and charcoal cooking capabilities. Kind of like the idea, but not really seen these around before. Any one have experience with one of these...

    Tri tip BBQ?

    A food chain from California is betting it can get us Texans to bite into their California version of BBQ beef, Tri-tip. So my local paper says.

    Foil vs no foil

    I know this has been talked about extensively on this and other forums, buts its my personal experience and I just wanted to mention it. I have gotten pretty good at doing pork spare ribs using the 3-2-1 method and my wife always liked them as well. So why change? Last weekend she was out of...

It really helps me stay consistent...

    Amount of wood to use

    Was wondering what rule of thumb people use when using wood for the smoke. I know there is a point of using to much and also probably a point of not enough. I think I tend to use too much. Don't they say when the lid is on and the wood is burning the correct amount is to not see a lot of smoke...
