    Country Style Ribs. The forgotten part of BBQ.

    Just want to put in a plug for Country Style Ribs. They are cut from the Pork Butt and therefore not really a "rib". But when smoked or grilled, these babies are really, really tasty. I grill them. They're done in 20 minutes or so. I'll wet them down with Soy Sauce or Worcestershire - then I...

    Temperature Swings Caused by The Sun.

    Greetings my BBQ Brothers and Sisters. What do you do when the hot summer sun hits the lid of the cooker and sends the dome temps up from 250* to 300* or more? Thanks for your help! Frank

    When do you put the wood on and the meat?

    Assuming you've started your WSM using the minion method, and your cooker is at the temp you desire --- how long do you wait after adding the wood to add the meat? Or do you add meat and then wood right away? Thanks for your answers? :wsm22: :blackkettle: :cool:

    Controlling Heat in 22.5 WSM

    On my last two cooks I've had trouble keeping the temps below 260 dome. 300 top grate. I started each with a full charcoal ring and 50 lit briquettes. I've had boneless pork butts on since 10am. 10 hrs later, they're at 175. Been wrapped in foil for an hour. Was using the Pitmaster IQ-110 but...

    Settling the old Grate vs Dome Thermometer Argument

    I recently decide to add a grill gate thermometer to my 22" WSM. So I ordered a replacement for the dome. (They won't sell you one if you tell them it's for a modification. I had to change my story and say I'm replacing the dome which was out of warranty.) I installed the new thermometer just...

    Added another Thermometer.

    Dome and grill grate temps not as far apart as I thought they'd be.

    Power Cleaning Your WSM Cooking Grates

    I know there are many theories on this. Here's mine. I put the grates and water pan in a large leaf/grass bag (without the leaves/grass, of course) and take them to the local self-serve car wash. I put then on the ground and use the power wand to clean them. Works great! Careful with the...

    Chicken on the WSM

    I have a 22" WSM and was wondering how many "cut-up" chickens I can get on the 2 cooking grates. I need to cook 6 Chickens. Thanks for your help.

    Briquettes or Hard Wood? Or Combo of Both?

    Greetings fellow Weber-heads. I've been thinking about moving to hard wood instead of briquettes. Any suggestions, experiences either way? Any brands you'd recommend? Thanks.

    Shining Up The Old WSM

    What do you guys use to clean up the inevitable smoke and grease discolorations on your WSM's? I want to get it looking "Showroom" new this year. Just in case there's any confusion - I'm talking about the outside only, of course. Thanks for your help... Blessings

    Backyard Throwdowns

    Glad to see this section on TVWBB. I had a rib throwdown last summer. It was a blast. My friends wife challenged me to a rib throwdown so on the day of the event we invited a bunch of friends over. We chose 3 to be judges. I cooked on my WSM while my competitor cooked on an offset smoker. We...

    The WSM and the Pitmaster IQ. Saving your sanity.

    I've been using the Pitmaster IQ for a few cooks and like it. Just haven't been impressed with how the IQ matches up with the WSM's thermometer. Today I cut a small slit in the rim of the cooking chamber so I could feed the IQ temp probe in and clip it on the center of the top grate. Well at...
