    Someone arranged for a handful of refugees from North Korea (possibly the bleakest, worst sh*thole on Earth at this time), try American bbq for the first time!

    I just received my smoke-n-sear for my 26.75 inch kettle. Website and videos claim it can hold 250 for 6-8 hours. This product also offers a "no questions asked" 30 day money back guarantee. I want to try a few cooks, see if it works as advertised. If so, I will keep it. If not, I will send...

    looking for dedicated smoker, what do you recommend?

    I currently have a gas grill for when I'm in a rush, a 22.5 inch kettle that's usually used for my rotisserie accessory or pizza kettle, and a 26.75 inch kettle that I use 90% of the time, for everything from slow-cooking ribs to grilling steaks. I do OK with ribs, haven't had great success...

    Why crunchy, stiff pizza crust?

    I have been buying pizza dough from a local pizzeria, and using my Kettlepizza, with good results. For the amount of dough they give me, it usually results in too large a pizza for my stone, so I usually discard about 25% of the dough ball. Yesterday I forgot to do that, so I ended up with a...

    When I have a hankerin for a good steak experience, I buy ribeye steaks, and grill them directly over a high-heat lump fire. I was watching a TV show last night, and they showed 2 options. (1) cook ribeye steaks over indirect medium heat for a little more smoke flavor. Looked good, but no...

    OK, I just returned from a short work-then-fun trip to New Orleans. Loved the jumbalaya I had in some holes-in-the-wall that were recommended to us. Anyone got an authentic New Orleans jumbalaya recipe?

    Heat from Pizza Kettle is cracking my stones!

    I'm using the Kettle Pizza accessory, and starting to get pleased with the results. Problem is, with heat that sometimes hits 800 degrees, I have cracked both my stones - one from Walmart, one from Weber. Can anyone recommend a stone that can handle that heat? They sell stones at the Kettle...

    1st attempt at chuck roast

    Had a hunjering for BBQ beef, so I'm trying my 1st chuck roast. 3 hours at 250, then I foiled it with some beer in a pan for about 2.5 hours, average temp of 250. Just checked, it's pretty tough, not anywhere near "fork tender". Leave it on, or did I overdo it? It was a 6 pound roast, no...

    WSM or horizontal barrel smoker?

    Currently, when I smoke (ribs, pulled pork, etc) I use my Weber 26.75 inch kettle. I have that working pretty well. But I'm looking to move up to a dedicated low-and-slow toy. My first thought was a 22.5 inch WSM, but I am also drawn to those horizontal barrel smokers that I see on TV. I...

    Brining and injecting

    Does brining negate the need for injecting, or are their benefits to doing both on the same bird? Also, I see some people dry the bird after brining, and let sit in the fridge for a day. Is this to ensure crispy skin?
