    How to save all those lovely juices from the turk

    So this saturday I've got a 21 lb turkey going on the WSM (gotta love it when the little lady requests smoking for moms day!). Trouble is I did one of these for Thanksgiving and it turned out wonderful except all my drippings were a charred mess in my foil lining. I tried the old leave a big...

    Weekend success with overnight cooking

    Hey guys just thought I'd share my weekend cook story for you all (sorry no pics on this one my digital camera is broken). So I'm not really sure if you call this an overnight cook or not because I woke up at 2:00 AM to get things going. Before going to bed I got the smoker ready, poured in a...

    Sharp like a razor, or dull like a burned out lightbulb?

    So there I was, I had just pulled 3 chickens of my WSM after checking that their internal temps were good. I grabbed my favorite cutting tool and went at those chickens, when I realized that the thing wouldn't even make a dent in the skin. Now granted, I did do a low and slow smoke so I rather...

    What to expect from the WSM

    I've been following some threads on here we're people are talking about air leaks making it hard to control temps or hard to shut down the coals at the end of a cook. Well a while ago I smoked some spare ribs and panicked about the fact that my bottom 3 vents were closed the whole time and my...

    Them bones, them bones, them ... dry bones

    Okay I couldn't resist that one. My kids have this kids song CD with that song on it and when ever I smoke ribs I always think of that song. So I smoked the other slab of spares that came in the cryo pack from Costco this weekend. Had some left over seasonings from my first BRITU method so I...

    One of my favorite dishes

    So my wife and I have this recipe for Sweet Meat Empanadas. The reason I like so much is the depth of flavor, its like a little party going on in your mouth. Anyways it uses cinimon and clove and I really like the combination. As I've fallen for the BBQ thing on my WSM I've kinda wondered...

    Why do I have to be stuck at work??

    So I placed an order for my tel-tru thermometer a while ago (good grief what did they have to do fire up the production line just to make one thermometer ). And have been patiently (okay okay I've been checking the tracking number ever 20 minutes to see where the bloodything was), when my...

    First slab of spares goin'

    So, we were walking through our local costco and I happend to notice that they had spare ribs on for $1.79/lb, and was able to convince the family that it was time for another smoker run. Basically followed the BRITU method and got the ribs on the smoker at 2:25 pm today (they've been on for...

    Over flowing water pan

    Hey guys, I was doing a cooking contest for my work and wanted to go with pulled pork. I chickened out at the last minute and didn't use the WSM (don't stone me I'm a n00b ), and just threw the butts into a roaster we have. I ended up with about 25 lbs of butts (4 shoulders), set the temp at...
