Howdy. I've spent some time checking out the various threads in regards to the high heat brisket cooks and high heat babyback rib cooks, but I'm having a slight problem reconciling the times. I have a 4 lb brisket and one good sized (fingertip to elbow) sized rack of babyback ribs. From what...

This weekend I conquered my fears of both the overnight cook and pork butt in one fateful evening. Well, fateful is a gross overstatement as the cook went without incident. I uses the mustard slathered pork butt recipe found on this site with a small modification. I split the 1/4 cup paprika...

Quick question here. I bought 13lb of pork butt for smoking this weekend. It was packed on the 12th and has a sell-by date of the 15th. I'm planning on putting it on the smoker on the night of the 15th for an overnight cook to finish on the 16th. Is it OK to put the butts in the fridge up...

Howdy. If the cook start time doesn't mesh well with having your turkey breasts out of the brine for 8 - 12 hours, is it better to have them drying in the fridge for more or less time? I'm planning on putting them on around 3PM on Thursday which would mean either getting up at 3AM for a 12...

Howdy. Here are the pics of my latest smoke, brisket and ribs done this past monday: Smokey Treats This was the first time I used the MM for smoking, and it was absolutely amazing. Temps never got outside of my range, and I was able to get things done around the house without constantly...

Howdy. I have a 4.5 lb brisket on the smoker now. I've been using the Minion Method since 8AM. Right now the brisket is at 183 (and has been for about an hour). When I put a fork in it, it doesn't go through easily. I'm concerned about it drying out, even though it's in a foil pan. Should...

Howdy. I have some time off coming to me next week and I'm looking to use it for smoking. I'm planning on smoking about 6 lbs of spares and a 4lb brisket all at the same time. I'm wondering if the Minion method is overkill for this type of cook. I wouldn't expect it to take more than 6 - 7...

Howdy. There's a really interesting article on whether or not wet charcoal will self-ignite over at The Straight Dope. http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mwetcharcoal.html It's a pretty cool read, or should I say a pretty coal read. Heh. -Brandon

Howdy. I'm interested in making S. Raichlen's "Tennessee Pork Loin" recipe from BBQ USA. The recipe calls for a 2.5 - 3 lb pork loin to be grilled on indirect medium for about 1 - 1.5 hours. It also calls for some smoke, which my gasser (Genesis Silver B) can't do at the moment. My question...

Howdy. This weekend I made up two meatloafs. I followed the Smoke and Spice recipe "Aint' Your Momma's Meatloaf" or something, but used Chris's recipe for cooking temps times. On the recommendation of a fellow forum folk (can't remember who, so my apologies for not giving proper credit) I...

The MeatFest pictures are up at http://www.catspit.net/images/wibs/. Didn't do meatloaf as originally planned, too tired was I. I plan on tackling those this weekend.

Howdy. I got my WSM last father's day and used it to make spares for my wife, son, dad and stepmother. Aside from being a little tough (not cooked long enough) they were a big hit and my dad has been asking for ribs ever since. They're coming over this weekend for this year's Father's Day...
