Last January, Amy and me went to Denver on business. We spent a whole day in K.C. on the way and a few hours on the way back. We visited Danny Edward's BLVD BBQ for lunch and OK Joe's for Dinner. We also stopped by the KCBS HQ and the KC BBQ Store. On the way back, we ate lunch at Smoking Guns...

Hi. Thought I'd smoke this on the day after Son-of-Ida left town. Amy challenged me (I absolutely HATE meatloaf) and went along with adding bacon and smoke. Thus, this might change my perception and dislike for meatloaf. If this comes out the way it looks, this will be the only way I'll eat one...

http://www.popsci.com/bacon :shock: Not on www.truthorfiction.com, so it must be true. I never knew bacon could count as 'equipment'.

Today, for the first time ever, our main office had a potluck celebrating happy holidays. It included food and a secret santa gift exchange. Below are the food porn shots and some of the gift exchange pics. I hope you enjoy. As the not-so-official photographer, I had lots of fun. By the way, I...

You know. You meet someone. Get paid for services rendered. So slutty. Here's the food porn pics of what I did. Basically, a 12.5 hour BBQ on my WSM at around 275 degrees for a few hours and then 225 for several hard-fought windy hours. The snow at the beginning was...

Have any of you come up with a formula for how much bacon to use to wrap a turkey? Should I just put a bunch of strips on it? cover the whole thing? put some in the cavity? use some in the cavity and not use any aromatics (eject the orange and lemon). Does using bacon mean I should squash my...

We hit Restaurant Depot today!!!

Funny to say that before this weekend, I didn't even know how to spell Chesapeake. Well, we met our two goals this weekend. Not dead last and we scored some funnel cake. The 10th in pork was the nice surprise. Me and Amy just looked at ourselves for a moment before we got up to walk the 100...

Personally, I think we should do this anytime you got the flu.....Just grill up some chicken. Much tastier than Top Ramen, right???? After a week of us both having the flu, I'm hoping to get my strength up for the wall of shame of putting down a 1lb burger at some local burger place a friend is...

Bruce B., any recommendations on these? I intend on grilling tonight, so anyone else is welcome to comment too. It's just that I thought Bruce might be the expert. :) Thanks...

My gift to Amy was a dozen red roses and a balloon. She sure got a lot of attention at school that day. After seeing that arrangement, several women threatened to raise hell if their boyfriends didn't do something similar. So in the spirit of how to 'one up me', Amy decided to make me some home...

I am very happy to announce that an unexpected cold air mass has settled over Northern VA tonight and as of 11:20PM, it hit 31F in Clifton. 8:40pm lit chimney 8:58pm loaded two 7lb butts on one WSM (cold but didn't note the temp) clear skies with no wind. 9:30pm neighbor reported 35F on his...

Hey everyone, any comments are appreciated. I have a party i'm going to tonight and i'm doing 5 racks of spare ribs for them. I got a late start and would like to cut an hour off the cook time. I have two WSMs with sand. Each have three racks of ribs and brisket (brisket is cut off). Dome temps...

Hey all, Hopefully you can offer your 2 cents while i'm out at the store. Should be firing up the WSM in an hour or two. Amy's not too much into smoke on her chicken, so I was thinking of either pulling the chicken and serve it all mixed up, or delaying the chicken about an hour on the WSM, that...

Lit the WSM about 90 minutes ago. Guess I need to hit the store really quick to get some English muffins for the egg mcfatty sandwhiches. Hope Amy's parents enjoy them. I've never done them with tater chips before. Ribs for lunch of course :)

Hey, a question to all of you on how to do this. I have two not-so-shiny-anymore WSMs (by the way, thanks Bill for your assembly work. It hasn't fallen apart yet). I have 2 rib racks that hold 4 racks of ribs (4 slots). so the ribs are vertical. So one for each of the top WSM racks. That's 8...

Question: Any of you have experience or advice or thoughts on shipping some ribs and butt to CA? I got a buddy that survived cancer and I told him in the middle of it that I'd cook some up for him when he's back to normal. Well, he pulled through and I can't renege on a bet (that he'd die or...

I was emailed that my boss is willing to buy 20 pounds of pulled pork after the rave reviews he got last week at a tailgate party from the 2 that I gave him (I lost a football bet and gave him 2 butts to settle the debt). I never gave him a price and don't know if he's willing to pay up to...

Slept in a bit too long and didn't get my three 4lb butts on the WSM until 11:30am this morning. Ran the WSM at around 250-275 and just foiled them at the 9 hour mark. They had different temps ranging from 160-170. I was too busy doing house work to see how long they were stuck, but I think they...

Not exactly BBQ, but I did join the KCBS this week. I thought I'd let you guess what team name they let me pick. Hint: involves me and Amy. I'll post the answer on Friday. Thanks. Wildfire Eric and Mrs. Wildfire Eric. hehehehehehehe

Hi Y'all, I FINALLY found a whole beef brisket. I went to a local Korean butcher to see what they had and happened to have one of these bad boys when I asked. 01 Just rinsed it and about to apply rub If you can see, I have NO clue how to cook this thing, so if any of you are up tonight and...

OK, these are sliced up pork shoulders, but it was late Saturday night and I was desparate for something to smoke for Sunday. Anything beef (and the pork ribs) looked rather nasty, so I figured I'd try these. 1. I wasn't sure if to cook these like regular ribs (3-2-1) or like a butt. 2. WSM...

My general assumption is that the west likes more ketchup or tomatoes and the east likes more vinegar with extremes at both ends and somewhere in the middle likes a little of both and deep south mixes in mustard. Now, does this apply to natives only of these regions? DC has many relos and I...

My overnight beef brisket project is on hold due to no meat. Sam's Club only had 6 lbs flats (with fat) and Wegmans had 3 lbs flats trimmed of fat. I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures. Since I didn't look for the meat until today, I decided to get two Boston buts (7lbs and 6lbs) and...

Thanks Kimmal and Rich for your experience, advice and observations. I'm starting my planning for a brisket for this weekend. I'd like to try two different styles. Low and slow and then Rich style so I can experience the difference between bark, smoke, etc. Nothing exotic. I'll take a look at...
