I am planning on being at Stone Mountain in the near future. I would like to replenish my supply of pecan and peach wood. Can anyone point me to a potential provider in the area? Thanks...

Was in my local Home Depot today, and thought I'd see what they had for charcoal. I guess they decided to skip on the Rancher, and go for Cowboy lump What a disappointment! I guess I need to stock up on the Picnic I get at a local latin market. Rick

Guys, I get to travel next week to northern VA, specifically the area just east of Dulles International Airport (Chantilly/Reston/Hearndon). I have been there many times, but I am looking for some ideas about where to eat. Most of my trips have resulted in quick meals at convenient spots. Any...

OK - I've cooked pastrami a several times, and each has been wonderful. The first time, my boys would not even think about trying it. Now, they're the reason I'm cooking. But, I digress. I wanted to cook the pastrami on Saturday, but I have some evening meetings the next couple of nights. So, I...

Has anyone seen or tried Floresta Wood Charcoal? I have been emailing a distributor of Picnic lump charcoal that services central Florida and he told me about it. It is packaged by the same company as Picnic. I have seen it locally and will get some to try out - but it may be a while before I can.

Saw Rancher Charcoal, made by "he Original Charcoal Company", at Home Depot tonight. It is supposed to be an all natural briquette made from hardwood and yucca starch. It was selling for 4.99 for a 20-lb bag. Has anyone had any experience with this?

What do you think is the most basic mistake outdoor home chefs make? What could one do to make the greatest improvement?

I finally found a brisket recipe my wife likes. She has repeatedly said she just doesn't like smoked beef. Well after trying this recipe, she asked when I was going to smoke another one. I think one of the keys was the onion powder, and possibly the lack of the SW flavors (she is not a big cumin...

I am looking for some ideas from the multiude of experts here. My wife is quite partial to the spareribs we made before I bought the WSM. The cooking method was boiling (gasp) in water flavored with a good bit of garlic, and finishing on the grill - drying them out and carmelizing the sauce. We...

Here is a question for you more experienced cooks. I have a 14.5 lb Prime Rib to go on the top rack of the WSM for Easter Dinner. It's about 15 inches long and from what I have read, it should fit nicely. Now the kicker, some extra family is in town on vacation, and have been invited. Is it...

I am trying my first pastrami. After reading all the comments about it, I couldn't resist. I started the process Wednesday evening, and plan on finishing it up on Sunday afternoon.

Living in Cental Florida has advantages. An abundance of smoke wood sources is not one of them. However, I will be traveling to Northern VA next month (around DC). Are there any places I may be able to pick some smoke wood? So far I have tried, and been pleased with, apple and pecan.
