    Needing Fattie Advice

    I'm wanting to try doing a couple of fatties for Sunday's tailgate and see a lot of different recipes around here. I see reference to using a baggie to somehow press out the sausage. Can anyone point a n00b to a good starter recipe that includes techniques, temps, etc.? Thanks!

    Spares too fatty

    I did some spares last Saturday and everything about them turned out wonderful EXCEPT the amount of fat on the rib. I tried selecting ribs with a decent amount of fat marbled through them but I often got more fat than I'd prefer with some bites. They ended up very tender. I did the 3-2-1...

    How much wood?

    I was smoking a couple of pork loins this weekend (which turned out very good). I used about 5-6 chunks of applewood in the beginning and noticed the smoke stopping after about 30 minutes. I added a couple more chunks but later wondered if it was necessary or if a certain amount of smoke early...

    First smoke and coals died

    I did my first smoke tonight with my new 22.5". I went with some chicken breasts. I started out brushing them with a little cooking oil and sprinkling some Weber Beer Can Chicken Seasoning before wrapping with bacon. I heated up one Weber Chimney full of coals and tossed on two chunks of...
