Went to Dixie's for lunch on Saturday (9/11/2010) with my brother. He's been talking about the place for years. I had a brisket sandwich. Brother had the same. A friend of his had the "420" sandwich - a hot link covered in pulled pork. The brisket was good, nice smoke ring. THe rice and beans...

I've been watching too much Food Network TV. Was watching Top Chef last night and an idea hit me - to take a plantain, slice it into thin elongated chips, deep fry to make crispy, put some pulled pork on it, a sliver of avocado, a drip or two of lime juice and maybe a sliver of jalapeno or a...

I know this doesn't have much to do with BBQ, but I find myself looking for the "quintessential" recipe for a number of dishes, sauces and the like. I'm working on my lasagne, pepperoni, brie (been sidetracked on that one for a while), fish batter, bratwurst, BBQ sauces and, of course, tartar...

I follow recipes fairly well, but I couldn't for the life of me develop my own. Doesn't stop me from trying, but the results are hit and miss - mostly miss. How could the average person learn spice and flavoring usage, other than going to culinary school? Is there any chart, book or other...

I'll be making this sausage recipe this weekend and was thinking it would be nice to have a dip or two for it. Any suggestions, based on the ingredients, for a compatible dip or two? Yuletide Cocktail Sausages Ingredients 1500 grams Turkey Leg meat cubed (sinew and tendons removed) 500...

I made this recipe the other day. I was looking for something that could cook all day in the slow-cooker (crockpot). Made the house smell terrific! Black beans and rice

This weekend did two slabs of spares. One I put my usual rub with a lot of brown sugar in it and very little salt, the other I used a rub with no sugar, but a considerable percentage of salt. As they sat waiting to go on the smoker, the "sugared" one became very wet. The "salted" one's...

I was BBQing some snacks Saturday (ABTs) and had some space on the grate. Rummaged through the fridge for something to fill that space. Only thing I could find were some hard-boiled eggs. So, being the BBQ nut I am, I put them in the WSM (shells removed). They were on for about an hour. I let...

I finally took some pictures of my BBQin'. I don't have a website, so I uploaded these to an image hosting service. Unfortunately it doesn't have an album capability. Anyone know of a better one, that allows anyone to view the pics, please let me know. Pork butts ready for rub Butts rubbed...

Did one of these for Mother's Day following the instructions in the Cooking section. WOW! First time I've cooked one, but it won't be the last. If you haven't tried one, you owe it to yourself to give this one a go. My experience varied from the instructions in that it took quite a while to get...

Was wondering if anyone in the Puget Sound area would be interested in trading some smoke wood. All I have is cherry (quite a bit in smoke wood terms, not much at all in offset stick burner terms ). I'd be interested in apple or other fruit or nut wood.

I tried this a while back using a small cookie sheet and some hickory chunks. Smoked it until it had a light amber color. I thought it would be nice to give as an "extra" with Christmas presents, as well as have around the kitchen. I put it in an air tight container, but when I opened it and...

Just pondering the sand vs. water in the pan issue. I did a cook with a brisket on the bottom (first and only brisket I've tried) and three pork butts on the top grate. I used sand in the pan and the bottom of the brisket was kinda dry. I was thinking maybe if I'd used water in the pan in that...

I've had my WSM since August, so I'm no expert. Recently mounted two Tel-Tru dial therms - one just above each grate. The last couple of cooks the bottom therm read a higher temp than the top one. 33 degrees out and snowing, I fired up the WSM, minion method, the bottom temp registered 200/top...
