Long time since I posted here. I found an accessory (grill pizza oven) for my weber gas to keep enough heat in the grill to properly cook a pizza. This grill pizza oven thing I found is stainless, fairly thick, 23"x24" square and 4" tall. It's reversible and designed to be used as a stainless...

Anyone with one that likes it and does not have problems? Does it get to high temp? Does it keep steady low temps (looks like inadequate heat sink).

Yea, I know. But I got divorced. Is the electric Q any good? Good enough to constant temp grill properly bone on chicken and sear steak? It's this or pan fry and oven finish.

Picked up a couple racks of spare ribs from Kroger Friday. The first was ok when I rinsed and rubbed. The second, you could tell bad meat from the first second you open the bag. Really Really off smell. It looks ok but the meat has turned. I'm not sure what they are injecting with but this...

We butchered Saturday three beef with a small group of friends. None of these beef are mine; my family is helping so we get help for our beef. These beef were larger than normal and had better marbling in part because the cows were three years old. The farmer (& family) is part of the group. It...

I want a sweeter bacon. Any ideas on how to make it sweeter? The process I have used is a dry rub (commercial pink salt plus Excalibur maple bacon rub) and smoking. I tried extra sugar on the rub without any success. So, what is the trick?

Spare or baby backs; which ever is on sale. I don't know why, but I have a hankering for a good Memphis style sweet sauce and a two racks of ribs. Something to plan for this coming weekend. Two questions. First, can you recommend a sauce that will taste like a sweet smoky Memphis style? I...

1 Pound thick bacon Wet towel Spray bottle with water Plate at the ready Long tongs Grill set up with 3 zones, Inferno, Hot and Low Bacon is always good. Why grill bacon? Because of the flavor and texture. What grilling does to bacon is add a bit of char to the edges and smokey flavor that you...

Every time I am in the store I pass by the meat counter just to see. Tuesdays at Walmart and Thursdays at Kroger are good days for some reason. Last Tuesday paid off with a find of a very pretty 14.6 pound packer brisket discounted to $1.17/lb. I am not sure how describe what made this brisket...

Just paid $10 for a bag of 18 pound charcoal at the local IGA store. All time high.

It was the cracked burner tube that drove it over the edge. Nothing like watching flames coming out of the burner tube where there should be no hole. Other things that went wrong was the broken bottom cast aluminum box. Not sure why the bottom drop tray did not just fall off. Frame is rusted...

Just as a note. About this time every year I usually buy a few grill brushes on sale. Usually much less than summer. Just got 4 small brushes for 0.7 ea.

I was going to put it on earlier but did not finish working on the new kitchen cabinets until 4. I started working nights a few months ago. So I do not have a rough time, I do not change (much) my schedule during the week. I found butts for an acceptable price at the fancy grocery store. I...

25 people I ended up feeding 25 people with two full quart bags of meat left over. We did have all sorts of bread and other sides. Always wondered how many a butt and brisket would feed. The butt was a good 8-1/3 pounder; no trimming required. The brisket over ten to start with: I trimmed...
