Just starting to use butcher wrap. A few questions. For a large cut of meat (i.e. pork butt) looks like paper will will hardly fit over the butt. Do you use more than one sheet of paper to make sure the meat is covered? And do you double up the paper to make sure no leakage? Just wondering...

Probably been covered before but an oldie here wondering about butcher paper and ribs. Been smoking for 20 years with at least 10 years on the competition circuit. In Ace Hardware the other day picked up a roll of pink butcher paper. Never used before. I know it has been used for brisket and...

Posted earlier about a half spatch cocked bird I ended up buying. No problem. I have always recommended (and still do) a construction water cooler to use for brining. Well, haven't used mine in a few years and when I went to fill up, the cup fill drain leaked all over. Upon examination the...

Ordered fresh 8 - 9 pounder from local butcher. Got a call yesterday that her order from the supplier shorted her over 20 fresh turkeys, including mine. She offered and I accepted that she would cut a 22 pounder in half. I did negotiate to get all of the giblets. My original intention was to...

Located here in central Wisconsin. Used but in great shape. Contact me and we can negotiate a great price. Really need to find it a new home. I have too many Webers already and just have no need for the Ranch.

Any one done this? Came across the recipe the other day using a pot roast rather than doing the whole packer. Really turned out good. Maybe not quite as good as using the point, but really good. Just do a search on (I use Duck Duck Go) for the recipe - poor man's burnt ends. I used the one...

Need new handles for my Ranch (squirrels chew the heck out of them). Contacted Weber and they gave me a part number. Looked up on the Weber site - out of stock (price would have been $9 each). Contacted them about this and they got back to saying "try Amazon or Wal Mart". Tried Amazon and...

Haven't posted in a long time but still smokin'. My Ace Hardware is now stocking Blues Hog lump. If it has Bill Arnold's name on it must be good?

Have looked at every appetizer and fish thread and couldn't find what I am looking for. Not looking for a dip recipe which I have done before. Thought maybe a bacon wrapped piece of salmon grilled in my fish grill pan. Any other ideas? Main course probably siracha wings with winter squash...

Doing a 4#boneless leg of lamb on the WSM tonight. Just for my wife and I. Any ideas for the leftovers? Thanks - Dan

Time for my first attempt. I figure there is no such thing as a dumb question, so here goes. Just bought 9# of what is labeled side pork. I asked for pork belly and that is what I got. I presume OK? And on one side there is a thick layer of fat. I presume that is considered the rind? If I...

On the way home from my Mom's trying to figure out what for dinner tonight. Loin ribs sound good. But they are frozen. Saw somewhere - not sure if here - use hot water bath for meat that is fairly thick e.g. roasts. Well a three pack of loin ribs is pretty thick. Well an hour and a half the...

Have had my Ranch grill for 5 or 6 years and would usually use for cooking for groups. Well lately using a couple of times a week just for my wife and I. It's like being able to cook on a stove. Using fish and vegetable pans its great having all of the room. I'm just using one chimney of lit...

Well here in central Wis we have 12" snow, wind is blowing around 25MPH and the temp is falling. So, what else to do at 9:30 PM. Hungry for some pulled pork. Fired up R4D4 (22" WSM) around 9:30. Two butts on on as soon as assembled. Came up to 250º within 40 minutes. Will check in the AM...

Friend of mine at work got a 250# bear (boar) a couple of weeks ago and will be picking up the meat today. He said bear meat has the texture of beef with a sweet flavor (they eat a lot of berries and cookies). He says, unlike venison, there is a lot of fat for rendering. Any ideas on smoking a...
