Lots of BBQ related goodies under our tree this year, including a rib rack, a Maverick, FireWires and a Crate & Barrel sauce pot. 12lb turkey is dry curing in the fridge and I just made a sausage dressing fatty. Will post pics later today. Merry Christmas to all the great people here!

Picked up a 22" OTS for $20 today, included the flip-up cooking grate, for another $5 he threw in a Weber chimney.

Commercial rubs and sauces are not easy to come by up here in the Great White North, fortunately my folks are wintering in FL this year. Can you buy good commercial rubs and sauces in standard grocery stores? Any recommendations on things I should put on my wishlist?

Just in from getting my first cook on my new WSM started. Doing 2 racks of baby backs with BRITU rub and a 5lb chicken. Ribs are in on bottom rack which is holding steady at 235. Dome is 250. Chicken is drying out in the fridge I plan on letting the ribs cook for a couple of hours at the...

NIB WSMs are a rare find in these parts let alone a used one so imagine my surprise when I found one on kijiji for $100 this weekend. Picked it up on my lunch break, $75 for: - 18.5" WSM w/cover - 1/2 bag of RO lump - 1lb of cherry wood chips - extra chimney starter Just needs a little TLC...

The **** with Hurricane Earl, I got 'cuing to do! Brisket tonight, hunkering down on Saturday and a pork shoulder and two chickens for Sunday. Anyone else in Earl's path? Update #1: Shifted big cookout plans to Sunday instead of Saturday and decided to do a brisket on Friday to have...

It was a busy week which resulted in not a whole lot of barbecuing going on here To redeem myself with the barbecue gods I took a shot at making pulled beef. My plan was to make fajitas and save leftovers for lunches this week. Started with a boneless blade roast: Rubbed it with just S&P...

SWMBO was off in another province again this weekend so I had the bright idea of having all the boys over for a big BBQ. Plans were bolstered when we found out that a good friend would be coming through town on business and be able to join us for the evening. Saturday morning was preparation...

I'm still telling Santa once a week that I want a WSM for Christmas because my knockoff Brinkmann is quite literally on its last legs. When lo and behold I found on kijiji an offset smoker for $60. I don't know if it's brand name or not but the seller is delivering it to me with his extra...

Friday after work I had a few pints to wind down the week, which might have not been the best choice as it greatly impacted my attempt at grilled pizza. Things looked like they were going to go well: However in my haste to get it ready I put the hot coals under the charcoal rack...

Committed to cooking for 20 people, mostly SWMBOs work crowd on Saturday. Picked up two 10lb Boston Butts and a 7lb brisket flat on Saturday from the farmers market. Took them out of the chest freezer tonight to thaw in the fridge. Stopped at the Bulk Barn to get spices and Turbinado sugar...

Didn't plan ahead as well today as I did with last night's Roadside Chicken. Grabbed some tenderized 'hip steaks' on the way home from work and decided on fajitas. Rubbed the steaks with cumin, chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt and black pepper. Tossed peppers in EVOO...

Tried the RSC recipe tonight. Thighs marinated for almost 12 hours; sweet potatoes with honey and curry powder; zucc,onion,mushrooms and peppers with McCormick Spicy Pepper Medley Was out of beer so polished off the last nip of Pusser's while the charcoal got hot. I don't think I used...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've had what I feel is great success with the hand me-down EBC I was given and boldly offered to cue for SWMBO's work crowd next weekend. I ordered from an organic farmer and picked up at the market this am. I ordered 2 8-9lb pork shoulders and a 7-8lb...
