    YMMV: 18" WSM for $210 at Home Depot (1/13/2019)

    I was just at Home Depot in Johnston, RI picking up 48 bags of cheap Weber charcoal and I noticed they had two 18" WSM's in stock, marked down to $210. I already have enough in my collection so I didn't buy them, but if you need one, be sure to check your local HD to see if they have one on...

    Cook brisket on hibachi type grill? (Need some out of the box ideas...)

    We'll be on vacation next week and all we'll have is a massive 2'x5' hibachi catering grill. This thing is great for cooking hamburgers, steaks, and hot dogs, but it has no lid, so I don't know if cooking indirect or smoking will be possible. That said, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas...

    opinion on ground mustard

    I have seen numerous recipes that call for just a little bit of dried mustard. I have gone through several jars of McCormick Ground Mustard (pretty expensive at about $4/oz) and my feeling is that it adds only the most subtle flavor, especially in small amounts. I was hoping to get more opinions...

    Buffalo Wings Dry Rub

    Hi guys, Do any of you have thoughts on a buffalo wings flavored dry rub? I'm thinking you probably need to buy powdered vinegar and powdered butter. Also, cayenne is pretty intense, so I'm thinking you would need a way to tone it down. Has anyone ever given this any thought? Thanks! Pinny

    any tricks to greatly speed up a chimney starter?

    Does anyone have any tricks to greatly speed up a chimney starter? Typically I'll just use a single starter cube under the chimney, and it'll be ready to go in around 20-25 minutes. Would using more starter cubes make it light faster? Has anyone tested 1 cube vs 2 vs 3 vs maybe 5? What about...

    How to cook a beef shoulder ("london broil")

    I picked up some beef shoulders the other day, and didn't really know what to do with them, so I played around, and now I definitely know how NOT to cook them (sear, then smoke until 160 - they came out like shoe leather). They are about 2.5" thick. Should I cut them in half, and grill them...

    First Brisket Smoke on My New Portable Grill (Cusinart Gratelifter) (w/ pics)

    Just got a new portable grill, the Cuisinart Gratelifter CCG-100. I like it because it has levers on the side that automatically lift up the food so you can move the coals around underneath. I also like the lid thermometer, and the ash catcher below. I decided to try smoking a brisket in it to...

We do lots of family outings to parks and beaches, and I need a way to cook up lots of food on the go. We'll typically be a party of about 12, so I would be looking...

    quick way to put out charcoal after a picnic?

    I'm having several families come to a park Memorial Day for a bbq. I have been there before and there's no place to dump the coals, so I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to put them out/cool the grill quickly. The last time we went, I tried closing all the vents, and while that worked...

    does black = burned?

    When you grill chicken, are you looking for black marks, or dark brown marks? If they are black, does that mean you burnt it? I ask because I can't seem to cook high heat without my sauce or rub turning black. I was wondering though if maybe that's fine. I see "expert" grillers (read...

    aluminum foil smoker?

    At a friend's, and we want to smoke some chicken, but no WSM (or any grill for that matter) is in sight. So we're gonna try this. I'm gonna line the perimeter with coals/wood and put the chicken in the middle, then fold over all the pieces of foil. We're gonna start in 2 hours. Anybody have any...

    BBQ season is well underway for most everyone here. Are you doing anything different this year? Any specific special plans? Personally, I have started using the 22" alot, in order to have enough space for multiple heat zones on the same grill. I have discovered how nice it is to be able to keep...

    potato latkes help

    Anyone have a good recipe, and more importantly, a method to cook them? Truthfully, a recipe is easy - I can just use a standard potato kugel recipe - potatoes, onions, eggs, oil, salt, pepper. What always gets me is cooking them. I dont really know how to pan fry and I could use some tips...
