Yeah....This used to be pretty cheap but has become popular the last several years. It will go on sale for $4.99 and sometimes $3.99, but full price they are pricey. Personally I look for "steak tips" on sale, but also chuck eye or flat iron. These are pretty cheap when they go on sale. $4...

I can tell you for certain flap meat and sirloin tips are one in the same in the Northeast. I am in NH which is close enough to Boston and can tell you when Sirloin tips go on sale in the grocery store, I ask the butcher all the time for the whole piece of flap meat trimmed up. Butchers take...

Hi... I have been smoking with no water in the water pan for quite a while. I would like to make cleanup even easier if possible and am going to try putting a clay saucer (foiled for easy cleanup) in the water pan as some have done and suggested. What size have folks used? I bought both a...

Hi... I do a lot of cooking sessions with no water in the water pan. Has anyone ever dumped a chimney full of charcoal in the bowl to burn all the stuff in the bowl off and also get the inside of the cooker nice and hot burn off some of the excess inside the cooker...I have tried soaking it...

Long soak as others have mentioned and then follow up with plastic putty knife. I actually have used this on my kettle as well and a couple of my scrapers have worn a bit so they are curved and countour better to the bowl, whether it be the water bowl, smoker bottom or kettle. Also for the...

Just a thought. If you can buy and extra 18" rack, stack a third rack in between the two using soup cans or multiple tuna cans. I have been experimenting a bit with this and you *may* be able to get 8 racks depending on the size of them. I have been trying to find cans where I can easily cut...

Has anyone cleaned their WSM grates over a fire pit or even in the kettle? I am pretty sure I cleaned mine a few years ago over my 22" Kettle but was going to have a brush fire this afternoon and thought it would be a good time to bake off to clean the grates. I would think the only thing to...

Thanks again everyone. Things turned out great. I cooked the brisket to about 200, but think it was a bit overdone. When slicing against the grain (point side)it pulls rather than slices. I did not separate the flat from the point as some do. Still extremely good. I ran out to get a battery...

I have a probe in the brisket and going to put both the brisket and butts on in half hour or so. WSM is about 250 now( according to the lid) and try to get it toI the same after I put the meat on. I am using a dry water pan and want to make sure its stable before heading to bed. I figure I...

No planning on just going without wrap.

Hi... Im going to do an overnight large cook for the first time in a while. I am cooking one brisket and two butts. Brisket is about 11lbs. Butts are about 9lbs each. As luck would have it, I only have one probe thermometer. I usually have two probe thermometers, but the probe on it is...

I have done both water and also a dry water pan for my cooks. Mostly I use a dry water pan. I was curious however whether anyone has ever put ash in the water pan to make cleanup easier. I have read that for cleanup cooks have mixed the fat from a cook with the ash and wondered whether putting...

Hi all, I was in my local Walmart and picked up some brisket for $1.50/lb, whole packers. I have cooked brisket before, but only once or twice and it was not a whole one. These brisket are pretty big, 15lbs. Even after I trim them, they are going to be pretty large and maybe tough to get on...

I was in Home Depot and snagged 14 in my area. I was gonna post it as well and found you already did. Thanks

Hi David.... Its a big YMMV. If you check out this thread, you should be able to find out if one is available in your area. I was able to get one about an hour away Friday. If I can get a PM, it would save me some time and hassle. These are not floor models...

Yes, its a Spirit. Walmart has the E-310 for $349, down from $499. I will take a look at the Q3200. Im trying to get something that may see daily use that is of quality. I have not shopped for the gas grills in quite a while since I prefer cooking with charcoal. I didnt realize some of the...

OK, I so finally caved, sort of. I have been cooking on my Weber kettle charcoal for years and love it. However my wife is not too crazy about starting with charcoal and would like a gas grill. I was able to snag the E-310 at Walmart for about $350, but was curious if anyone knows what the...

I still have about 20-25 bags of Rancher from years ago when HD was clearing them out. $3 a bag. I save them now for the WSM not the kettle. I wish HD would carry Rancher again. Not sure if Trader Joes will have it this year or is available elsewhere. Same thing with Kingsford competition...

I have a bunch of cheap spray bottles from Home Depot. These almost certainly are not food grade. Anyone have any experience/opinions whether this is OK? I would think it would be fine as long as I am not storing long term, but would be curious to get opinions. Thanks.....

Hi... I have cooked both with water and empty pan. I have seen suggestions for cleanup regarding pouring fat that has run into the pan and mix with ashes for easier cleanup. Silly question, but has anyone ever tried putting some ashes (maybe from a previous cook) in the pan before a cook so...
