running a little hotter today than I like (lump and hot weather) and looks like they will be ready before I need them. oven will be occupied so I can't use it. anyway I've read folks foil and towel just like butts to hold ribs but I'm concerned the bark would suffer and they might turn into...

looking for some opinions here. I get the 2 packs from sams and try to eyeball that they are same size when buying. usually they are close enough. well that didn't work this time becuse I had to get the biggest package I could find. one with fat cap was 9.5. the other with fat cap is 6.25...

I've never used one. I have a wsm and used to have an offset. anyway we are visiting friends out of town and he has one he got as a gift. he's not a smoker and has no idea how to use it. he wants me to smoke some ribs while I'm here so looking for any tips/advise on the using the egg.

greetings from western NC! happy fourth y'all! been way too long since I've posted here. got a WSM a few months ago and can't believe how easy the overnight smokes are! did all my prep last night so I could take it easy today. 4 dozen ABT's! 2 fatties with roasted poblano peppers and...

one like this? http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/sto ... arketID=45 my pot is a 30 quart one and measures 12 inches across. I know it will work vertically but I have the means to do it vertically now. I want to do them horizontally so I save oil and less chance of overflow. just seems...

long time no post ;) thinking about smoking some chickens tomorrow. been a while since I've done them. what wood would y'all use? I have cherry & maple chunks and apple chips. I always use cherry for ribs and apple for butts. I've yet to use the maple. thought it might work well with...

anyone else lucky enough?? the wife said she didn't want to go out for valentines, that she just wanted me to smoke some ribs! doing my first fatty as well. jimmy dean bold with a cheddar stuffed pepper.

....and this was the view at about 3 hours in

.....at what point would you move it? first of all I hope this doesn't have to happen but given my track record with butts (see my old post if you want to hear about a 24 hour butt) I may have to do this. I'm doing a couple butts starting friday night and have to get all the ribs on by noon...

having our house warming party this weekend and I'm doing lots of ribs. thinking about getting some rib racks to make more of my space. what are y'alls thoughts on them? anything I should know? does it change smoking time etc to be elevated off the grate? do you rotate them so one side...

went on at 230. first smoke in way too long.

merry christmas everyone!! my wife knows me well. she got me a turkey fryer, a cutting board/serving tray that is shaped like a pig :D a couple nice thermometers and few other things. now when to fry the first turkey ;) the wife asked me if I minded smoking some ribs for christmas eve...

doing my first turkey this weekend for a christmas party we are having. using a chargriller offset, lump charcoal and cherry wood (not too much wood). I found/read many threads and have a pretty good understanding of what I'm in for. I should be able to find a fresh turkey at one of the...

mondays are my sundays so I thought I'd throw a butt on. I'm cooking for my granny's 90th birthday in a couple weeks and could use the practice (see my last butt thread). just a 4 1/2 pound, sprayed with apple juice and a dry rub I made. went a little over board with the rub but it'll be...

gonna do a few butts for memorial day. gonna have to start them sunday though. should be done after midnight (2 am or so) which is fine cause I'm a night owl. do to the fact that the butts will come off sunday night and not be served till monday evening should I put my finishing sauce (nice...

couldn't ask for a better day for a smoke! just cracked my first beer, it's about 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. rib rub is a variation of a KC brown sugar rub. chicken I made a rub with rosemary, basil, oregano, garlic powder, cracked pepper and a little kosher salt. I stuffed...

I tired to search and google. no real luck. throwing a few italian sausages on with the ribs later. about how long? should I do anything (rub etc) to them? they are store bought spicy italian. thinking hour to hour and a half? temps been about 215-230 all day.

so I'm doing some ribs and a butt tomorrow and my friend brought me a pack of wings to throw on. this is the one thing I haven't read up on. I can come up with a sauce/mop etc but how long should I plan on cooking them?? I figure 3-4 hours? (they are full wings/drums together and are nice and...

I got a small one, about 4 1/2 pounds. doing some other stuff as well. anyway my plan is to do rub and maybe spray with apple juice/jack daniels and put on a nc vinegar based finishing sauce. or should I inject and or mop?? I'm wanting to keep it pretty simple but want a good flavor. any...

wish me luck ;) ribs are going on in a few.... 4 or so pounds of baby backs. rubbed them down last night. three different rubs. first one a "kanas city" from smoke and spice. other two are both different "memphis" rubs. I tweaked them all a bit.

first of all thanks for the warm welcome here. anyway I got a chargriller super pro. I have read about the thermometer not being accurate because it is too high and will read higher than what the actual temp is. so instead of doing the mod for the placement of the thermometer I ordered a...
