    Memorial Day baby back ribs on the small WSM

    Did three racks on the 14.5 WSM that I have. Haven't done too many ribs on it before. Tried bending them to make them all fit. First time I had tried that. Before I had cut the racks in half. Turned out pretty well. Cherry wood smoke with an Allspice/Garlic/Black Pepper Rub. I like them...

    Christmas Eve Babybacks on the smoker

    Well, I don't always do ribs, but it seems that every Christmas Eve I am smoking some meat. Here is a quick shot I don't post often, so I didn't realize that I couldn't post my own gif, so here is a link. Six racks, super simple, salt & pepper, just the way that I like them :) Have a good...

    Rant: Where have all the briskets gone?

    Granted, I left it kind of to the last minute, but I decided that I wanted to do a brisket on Monday. Last November, I moved to the Seattle area from Tucson, AZ, and I haven't done a brisket since. I thought that it would be easy to find a brisket, was it - no. I went to Costco Local Fred...

    Need help - I've lost my water pan and can't get up

    I am in the process of moving from Tucson to Seattle. I just drove up with my 22.5 WSM in the back of van. When I unpacked it, I realized that I left the water pan back in Tucson. I am supposed to smoke something for the 24th, so I don't have much time. Does anyone know of a store in the...

    Meatloaf & Turkey Breast

    For Smoke day I did a meatloaf & turkey breast. The meatloaf was on the top rack, the turkey on the lower. My parents are in town for my daughter's graduation. Sorry no pictures. It turned out well. I guess that it doesn't count for smoke day, but I did Pork Butts last night/this morning...

    Tiny Grassfed Brisket Cook

    So it turns out that the local university has a Meat Science Lab. On Fridays, and only on Fridays, the general public can go down and buy whatever they have butchered recently. Having never been down there, last week I went and checked it out. They offer both corn- and grass- fed beef, pork...

    So I know nothing about automatic temperature controls - why isn't there a sticky?

    Like it says in the title, I don't know anything about these things. I was more curious about why there isn't a summary of information about them. So many of the posts seem to be either packed with too much specialize information, or simply say buy a Guru (whatever that is), the company is...

    Stuffed Chuck Roast

    I put this in the Throwdown thread, but not enough accolades :smile: Never done this before, but I thought I would take a stab at it. Fry's (Kroger's) just happened to have Choice Chuck Roasts on sale, so I picked one up. I haven't done too much with a chuck roast before and was thinking...

    Where do you guys buy this stuff?

    Looking around the forum, I see all kinds of interesting hardware, accessories, seasonings, rubs, etc. How do you guys find this stuff? I don't even know what I should be looking for. :) I've got some standard weber brand rack stuff, but that's it. Lately I've been thinking about hanging...

    Service/Repair ~2009 Genesis 3 burner

    A few years back, I bought a used Genesis 3 burner of of CL. It was the first gas grill that I have ever bought. It seemed to work well. At the beginning of the year, I noticed that it wasn't working as well, so I decided to clean it. I took out the burner tubes and blew out the rust. I...

    Butcher/Meat Charts

    I thought that on the old site there were some meat/butcher charts, but I can't find them now. Anybody know where they are? Thanks, Brett

    Who says it doesn't rain in Tucson?

    So I have done several briskets and such in my WSM, but all were overnight cooks. I decided to try a high heat and this is what I get: Now I always have a hard time getting high heat out of it, so the door was a little open (note the twine) which worked great until the rain put the...

    What to serve?

    Something has come over me and I decided that I wanted to have a small bbq party (I am not normally a party person). Anyway, I was going to smoke a brisket and two pork butts and was wondering what else I should serve. There will be about 20 adults and maybe 10-15 kids. So far, I have: Charo...

    Birthday Brisket - my 40th/first and a question

    40th birthday that is/first Brisket. I decided to do my first brisket. Found a butcher and got a 12.5 pound cryovac badboy for 2.49/lb. It had a USDA mark, but it wasn't graded, at least not that I could see. Never seen one whole before. It was interesting trimming it, basically I just...

    Out of gas - what to do?

    A little bit of a rhetorical question. Last weekend, I was grilling and ran out of gas. Not really a big deal, I just fired up the charcoal grill Anyway, my internal debate is whether I should get a second tank, or just continue with one? I haven't had the grill too long, but it seems like...

    Question about beef ribs

    So I smoked some beef ribs for the first time on Sunday for Father's Day. As outlined in the above post, they turned out pretty well. The only thing that was kind of a disappointment was the membrane. I pulled off a membrane, there was a layer of fat and then something that looked like...

    Did my first smoke, now I have some questions

    So I received my wsm on Wednesday. Its been sitting on my back porch until today. I decided to do some chicken on it, so the goal was to come home from work, assemble it, and smoke some chickens. I had hoped to be smoking by 5, but I didn't get home until 4:15. I had it assembled by 4:45 and...
