    SmokeFire EPX6 Stealth Addition - On Sale

    All, I just saw that the Weber store on Amazon has discounted the SmokeFire EPX6 "Stealth" to $1109, which would be about $100 below the Searwood of the same size. So is this a good deal for someone (me) who loves Weber and looking at getting a pellet smoker? Or should I wait for the new...

    Picnic with my wife and the Smokey Joe Premium

    Yesterday my wife and I took advantage of the 70f weather here in Delaware and had a nice picnic. I had just purchased a SJP for such an occasion and fired it up for the first time. Put an avocado on the grill to bake. I followed the Weber recipe from a couple of weeks ago, sans onions...

    Thanksgiving Turkey on WSCG

    Well, I started off Thanksgiving day hoping for inclement weather, so i could put the WSCG's insulative properties to the test. The weather was in the low 50's with no wind to speak of, so not really a test. Oh well, those days will be coming and look forward to firing up the WSCG. I prepared...

    Apple Pie #WSCG

    All, I took a crack at using my WSCG to cook an apple pie. One item of note is that I used Fogo lump for this cook, as I wanted to ensure a clean burn with no off flavors. The taste turned out great, just like apple pie should. Just getting started. Finished product turned out very...

    Saturday Brisket #WSCG

    All, Yesterday I did a small 5 lb brisket flat. I started with a little EVOO and used Oakridge compitition beef and pork rub. I stoked up the WSCG to 250 where she sat for the cook. After 7 hours, this is how it looked. Cutting into it, this is how it looked. All in all I was...

    Saturday Baby Backs #WSCG

    Today I tackled baby backs on the WSCG. Here is how they looked before I put them in. They were rubbed with Oakridge compitition pork and beef rub, with the Oakridge Dominator sweet rib rub on top. Here is how they looked 1/2 way through the cook. After letting them cook for 3 1/2 hours...

    Grilled pizza #WSCG

    So here is my first attempt at pizza on the WSCG. The setup was I used the lower charcoal grate level with the diffuser plate, and added some kingsford and a bit of that new charbroil lump (interesting product, very homogeneous size, but expensive). I made a white sauce veggie pizza for my...

    Brisket on the WSGC - Third Cook on WSCG (first with DidgiQ)

    On Friday I started my third cook on the WSCG, this time it was a 17# full brisket. I used Oakridge Black Ops brisket rub (which was phenomenally good). First, it couldn't be easier to set up the DigiQ, and I love how you can just leave the adapter hooked up with the kill plug in and use it...

    2nd cook on the WSCG, 2 zone shellfish and veggies.

    Well, maybe it wasn't a true two zone cook, as I only used the low zone when I realized that the sear zone was way to hot. None the less I set up a two zone fire. Here is how it went: Menu- App. Melissa Cookstone's Tsunami Shrimp Main. Weber's Parmesan Scallops and Weber's Grilled Shrimp...

    First Cook on WSCG - Pork Shoulder

    Ok, so while this will be my first cook on the WSCG, I did fire it up last night. Using just the charcoal baskets and the fuel grate at the grill setting (higher elevation), I lit it up. It took about 10 minuets of having the gas assist on before the charcoal started really going. It then, with...

    Assembly Review of WSCG Center (with pictures)

    so I just finished getting mine all set up. I was cruising along pretty quick and on pace to finish assembling in about an hour and 1/2, but then I ran into a problem. It took me a while to figure out how the ash catcher ring was supposed to attach to the bowl. In the process one of the rivet...

    It finally Arrived!! My new WSCG center

    All, I am happy to report that my back ordered WSCG center finally arrived at my house today. I first ordered it on April 15th, but due to back order, it took a while to arrive. I am still glad I ordered it from Firecraft, as Brad was extremely helpful, and it couldn't be more convenient to...

    Philly cheese steak (inspired by John Solak)

    My son and I are alone for the day, as my duaghter and wife are at a Girl Scout event. We were at the store, trying to figure out what we wanted for dinner, after several rejections by my 15 year old son, I threw out the suggestion of philly cheese steaks (remembering John Solak's post and great...

    First, thanks to MichaelD for the inspiration! I had never cooked short ribs before I read/saw MichaelD's post, but I had thought about it. After his post pushed me over the edge, this was what I came up with. First, I prepped the ribs with some SPOG, sugar, and chipotle chilli powder. I...

    I like my WSM 18" better w/o the BBQ Guru DigiQ DX2

    Ok, so before we go any farther, I love my BBQ Guru DigiQ DX2, but it has its place and time. For me that place and time is for long overnight cooks. You know, big meat like brisket and pork shoulders. For things like ribs, chickens, and turkeys (which I like to cook hot and fast), I prefer...
