Hi all, I've been away from the board for a while because I couldn't smoke while we were selling our house. We're finally in the new place and the wife has demanded, yes demanded, that I smoke a turkey for her birthday next week. We're having people over so she wants a 15 pounder. I'm not...

Picked up a two-pack of butts at Sam's the other day (had to ask the kid putting out the ground beef, they had cases in the back but none on the floor). Smoked with Royal Oak and a few chunks of hickory from the bagged stuff they're selling at Home Despot this year. Just finished...

A friend of mine was shopping at Costco a couple of weeks ago and bought a package of "boneless pork ribs" which said something about shoulder on the package from the glimpse I got when he tossed it. I'm thinking they were hunks of shoulder cut into strips. It'll probably make folks here...

I'm on the tail end of about my sixth smoke with my WSM. For the first time my temp has been right where I want it to be (some might recall how my WSM had a habit of sitting 30 degrees below where I wanted it). This cook I'm using Rancher 100% hardwood charcoal and am loving it. I've also...

The wife bought a turkey and has pretty much begged that I make it on the WSM this weekend. I'd like to make the recipe found here. The problem is that the turkey she bought is pre-injected and the brine recipe says to not use a pre-injected turkey. Is the reason for not using a...

Ok, my WSM is coming Monday from Amazon (UPS tracking number shows it as being in Chicago, yay). SWMBO picked up a cryovac of baby-backs at Sam's today. I keep seeing references to BRITU all over the site but a search isn't showing me the actual recipe. Can someone point me in the right...

Well, the veal brisket went on the kettle at 6am. The early hour gave me a chance to practice my "stealth BBQ" technique. I didn't want to wake either my family or the guy next door. Darn living in a townhouse. It's only a six pounder and seems to be an extremely lean cut of meat (the...

I mentioned in another thread that a friend of mine has maple trees on his property and had asked if he had any branches and such lying around. His house flooded a couple of weeks back so he hasn't been home while repairs are done. He stopped by tonight with a couple of logs. He went by his...

Going through the Mesquite vs Hickory thread the subject of using maple came up. That really got my attention. I've contacted a friend of mine who has maple trees on his property (bonus, so does his brother) so I might have a line on some maple. Definate noobie question. If I can get my...

I picked up a pork butt at a butcher a couple of towns over that has a great reputation. Last night I threw together some of my standard pork rub, rubbed it on the butt, and let it sit in the fridge overnight. I've got the kettle set up using the domino method I've seen here with three chunks...
