    BBQ Guru Smoker Jacket (22")

    So I tried one of these out over the weekend along with my new PartyQ. Yeah, it's good. Too good. ;) Ambient temp was about 60F, PartyQ was holding temps steady at 250F, then I put on the jacket. Temps climbed steadily until they hit around 295F and I pulled the jacket back off. The PartyQ...

    Awesome charcoal chimney for Minion Method

    I stumbled across this on Amazon and ordered it. Finally got to try it out last night. This is the perfect charcoal chimney for using the Minion Method. No open air space when you're using fewer coals, and the briquettes seemed to light up faster when I used it last night. I filled it up and...

    22" WSM vs. Offsets

    This weekend my stepdad did his annual big BBQ smoke, a dozen pork butts to give away as gifts. He's a stick burner, he had one pit and just recently bought another. Even with both pits, he could only get 10 of the butts in the smoke. I happened to be over there and volunteered to fire up my...

    Brisket lesson learned

    The lesson I learned - bigger is better, and simpler is better. My last few briskets haven't turned out well, they've all been overcooked. I'd been trying some new things and trimming them probably way too much. I decided to get back to basics. Minimal trimming, simple rub, careful focus on...

    Simple-But-Awesome Ribs

    I've got my technique pretty much nailed down, so I figured I'd go ahead and share. This technique works for spares as well, just add about an hour to the cook time before foiling. My first few racks of ribs I ever cooked weren't really up to what I was looking for. They were certainly...

    BBQ Journal?

    Do any of you guys keep a record of your cooks for future reference? I feel like I'm at the point where I need one--I'm doing a lot of experimenting and I'd like to keep track of what I did and how it turned out. What do you use?

    Built-in thermometers

    I wanted some grate-level thermometers built into my 22.5". I found a cheap 2-pack on Amazon and picked up. They have a 2.5" probe, and each is mounted about 3" above a grate. Should be right smack in the middle of a butt, and right at the top of a flat. They use a 3/4" mounting bolt...

    Propane-fired high heat Performer

    I'm kicking around an idea and I'm wondering if anybody has any input. I've got a Performer with the propane assist and a WSM. I'm considering buying a 26" OTG for more grill space, and that's giving me thoughts about what to do with the Performer. I've always wanted a pizza oven, and I've...

    Source for new-style 22.5" WSM thermometer and bezel?

    I'd like to mod my 22.5" WSM and put in another permanent thermometer at the top grate level. I'd really like to match the one on the dome, but whenever I search it seems like either Weber doesn't sell that part, or some 3rd party place is sold out of them. Has anybody ever sourced one? I'll...

    Made some awesome babybacks

    Didn't get any pictures, but I thought I'd share. Cooked a rack of ribs for a friend today and she said they're the best she's ever had. I know we hear that a lot when we turn out good Q, but still. Dead simple, feel free to steal my recipe. 1. Rubbed the ribs down with a medium coating of...
