I have 2 different stick burners and turned in several top tens when I used it in competition. They are 2 totally different cookers, one more air-tight than the other, and I have to cook different on each one. I agree any cooker will produce when used correctly. I have used my smaller one...

I bought 2 racks of ribs Saturday that were pre-seasoned, not precooked. Swift brand spares already trimmed St. Louis style preseasoned with a Kansas City style rub the package said. Same way for me I was in a time crunch and wanted some ribs. Not expecting much, got home grilled indirect in...

Jim H. I will be at Nashville Music city BBQ festival next weekend 26th-27th at riverfront park downtown, another member here Jeff Hite is scheduled to be there too. I am in Dickson so this one is close to home for me. I will setup Thursday.You are welcomed to come hangout and spend some time...

Jeff, I agree with Russ you are cutting close on time with your schedule,, doing a practice run at home will help you greatly. I also use 2 22" WSM. I cook by myself so I need all the extra time I can get. I do 2 butts on one and 2 briskets on the other but I cook low and slow, my big meats...

This is a good idea. Sadly to say my Webers have been quietly sitting on the patio most of the spring, I am coaching my 11 year old son's travel baseball team and we are playing somewhere almost every weekend from March until the end of July. I enjoy the baseball but I miss the contests...

I started competing in 2005 and done 32 contests to this point, the biggest difference I have seen is you have to cook somewhere almost every weekend to get in the top ten consisently. The teams that do cook alot are always in the top ten or so. Teams like me that only do a few contests a year...

Great story John, That is for sure a true Tennessean afternoon, evening and night cooking and drinking story, been there done that many times now. With this good of a first cook you can plan on many more fun nights. I just hate when those walls move out in my way, I got a outside staircase...

I am with Russ on this one. I run solo and love it that way. I have tried a few friends over the years and always go back to solo. It is hard to find someone that you "get along with" this well. But alot of it is my fault, I'm a perfectionist and very organized. My "quiet time" starts about...

I use 2 22" WSM and 1 kettle. I do 2 butts and 1 brisket on 1 WSM. Ribs on the 2nd WSM and chicken on the kettle. This works for me great, even the 18" would work for either one. sounds like you have enough cookers already, just cant let the wife know that , we always need a reason to buy...

I have never heard of a tank exploding but we found out it does happen, this link is a neighbor on mine just a few miles away, he wnet out on the deck, lit the grille, closed the lid to warm up, went inside just for a minute and it exploded, not sure what brand of grille or tank, but they lost...

Not really anything wrong, it's meant to be low and slow with a pan full of water. To get higher temps I use a empty pan. The water is a big heat sink and will absorb most of the heat. Also make sure your thermometer is correct. Thats normal for a minion start, the charcoal will light and...

Hello Harry and thanks for your time and knowledge. How about injections? What is your opinion? Any secrets you don't mind sharing? Does it really help? Etc? Great BBQ show as well, you seem to have more fun and enjoyment cooking a contest than anybody else, that's what it's all about...

For what it's worth,,,,I did have a peice of chicken brought back to me at a contest a few years ago. The contest rep had it in a napkin and told me the judge would not taste it due to being undercooked, so I got a appearance score and a 1 on taste and tenderness from that one judge, the other...

Dave, I've got a local grocer here in town that I have been working with a year or so now and he can order just about anything I want. I do pay a little more and have to order in advance but it is better quality meat. I have even showed him how I like my competition meats trim so that saves...

Hello Dave, I am going to listen in on your requests seeing how I agree. For me spares are hit or miss, I have done a few that came out great and many others that were just average. I use my own rub and sauce which I like so I got the flavor I want but the tenderness and juicy part is up the...

No No way,,,,,,I have tasted them cooked that way and didnt care for them at all,,,all the flavor is gone to me.
