Been a while. Hope to get back on a semi-regular basis. Larry

Traveled on Smoke Day so I didn't get to cook. Ate ribs, beans, and fries @ the 17th St in Marion, IL. Had great cracklins as an appetizer - they were still popping when they came to table. Leftovers were even good as a late night snack at the hotel.

Finding that I like to use my 18 1/2"r as a cold smoker. Did bacon a couple times earlier in the Spring using tips I found here Did a couple lbs. of salmon fillets @ 165 degrees on Saturday. Took about 4 1/2 hours to get them finished. Had to add 3 small chunks of lump and a chunk of white...

http://www.unclebubs.com/ Had dinner at Uncle Bub's a month or so ago on a Saturday night then went back for lunch on Monday. Had the beef ribs for dinner. Nice 7 bone rack from a standing rib roast. Best beef ribs I've ever eaten in a restaraunt - meaty and tender with just enough "pull"...

http://www.sbrbbq.com/ Had lunch at Sweet Baby Ray's a month or so ago. Had the rib tips - I'm a sucker for rib tips and Sweet Baby Ray's are really good. Had the beans and fries as sides - both are also really good. Took a carryout "Deuce" for my dinner at work. A "Deuce" is their pulled...

Busy weekend for the WSM's and OT's ... Saturday - 5 lb. corned beef brisket on the WSM with oak for smoke. "Raichlen" cabbage on the OT, with a little oak, - simmered potatoes, carrots, and onions in Harpoon Irish Red Beer, also on the OT. Sunday - Small fire in the WSM to smoke the bacon tha...

Shopped a local, mainly Hispanic oriented, multi-ethnic grocery today. Most independent grocers in the SW Chicago suburbs are multi-ethnic. Bought something I've never seen before - center cut pork chops still attached at the backbone - 6 chops, 3 pieces. These are nice - about 1 1/4" thick...

Does anyone have one of these? I had a standard MixMaster that wife's best friend has and wife's sister has hers. When she bakes, she uses larger SS bowls than what fits the standard - the Pro 600 has larger capacity. I still have the sausage kit from mine. To my suprise, wife was looking at...

Bought a cheapie Hamilton Beach Soft Touch at an outlet mall kitchen supply store last week. Had never used one before. Could not rice a raw potato even after I quartered or "chunked" them out. Do I need to parboil a potato 1st? Recipe I'm trying to duplicate, a potato dumpling my Grandma...

Almost three weeks and I was going through withdrawal! On the 18 1/2 WSM - 1 bone in butt, 1 sirloin tip roast, and 6 pork steaks. On te 26 3/4" OTG - 6 bone in skin on chicken breasts, 12 chicken legs, 4 boneless rib eye's. Also tried to make my Grandma's version of potato dumplings. No one...

Won't know what until I get up and go to the grocery store and butcher later today, but plan to have at least one of the WSM's and OT's going on Sunday. Been over two weeeks since I've fired up and I have a real need!

Just thought you all might want to know the leftover pork steak grilled Wednesday night and am eating cold right now for my lunch sure tastes good!

http://www.smokeybones.com/ Thought Darden shut all these down 4 or 5 years ago. Actually have known for about a year that there is still at least one - in Springfield, IL. Travel to the Springfield area about once a month and thought we'd give them a try this past Saturday night. Parking...

I got to many of them! Still have things packed away in boxes from when we remodeled our kitchen a couple of years ago. Guess I don't need them because I don't miss them. Step-daughter moved back home a couple of months ago. She rearranged some of our storage pantry and cabinets to make room...

See a lot of great looking barbecue posted here and have gotten some great ideas for things that I'm going to have to try. I didn't cook this past weekend and won't get to cook next weekend. Think I've learned the picture posting thingy and definitely will have to start posting pictures.

I store mine covered with the vents fully open under an overhang of my deck close to my house. I make sure they are clean and completely dry before placing the cover on them. I store my 26 3/4" One Touch the same way. The 22 1/2" One Touch has never been covered - I store with the vents...

Not sure where to put this, so I'm putting it here ... Last night, when wife got home from work, she handed me a fairly heavy paper shopping bag and told me "Mike said this is for you." Mike is a co-worker who hunts and fishes. Unfortunately I don't but love game and fish of all types. Inside...

I'm a backyard guy - not pro and don't compete. Know something but not a lot about automatic temperature control systems. Just don't see the need for them on any of my Webers. I'm happy with the mods that I've made to my WSM's and have never had trouble bringing them to temp or hold temps for...

First the mods ... 2 3/8" eyelets at cooking grid level wheels handles 2nd charcoal grate to criss-cross I did not drill or weld for additional "L" brackets for cooking grates - I had one of those adjustable grates that I had never used from when I bought a Smokenator several years ago - it...
