    To flip or not to flip

    I have been trying to not foil ribs last few cooks. I’ve noticed that especially with baby backs, without foiling the fat at the top or just below doesn’t always render out as well. Then I started thinking flipping the ribs could maybe help with that and get some more heat and render out fat...

    Replacement grates for baby q

    I have a baby q and the cast iron grate that comes with it is beyond disgusting after a few years. I want to get a replacement but not cast iron as it’s too annoying that clean and very heavy and no interest in spending 60 bucks for a new one. Does anyone make a regular grate that would fit this?

    Chicken- size matters

    Did my first rottisserie chicken. I didn’t tell my wife what size chicken to get and she came home with a 6 pounder. Took around 3 hours to cook with 2 charcoal racks on the sides for which I had to add more charcoal a few times. After a while I just moved the racks to direct heat because I...

    charcoal turned to mud like substance

    Last smoke before winter I closed the air holes and forgot to open them once the briquettes burned out. So I decided today I'd clean out the smoker so next cook i wouldn't have to do it. I found mold which I wasn't surprised at but the old charcoal (kingsford) turned into a wet clay or mud like...
