    Brisket on the Webber kettle.

    Looks good!! What size kettle are you working with? I'm guessing the 26 if you have room for the beans!! Happy smoking!

    DIY table for kettle

    So I'm kicking around the idea of building a table for my Weber kettles. I have a Smokey joe, the jumbo koe, as well as a 22.5 stand alone and finally, the 22.5 with the cart/table. I am thinking of building a table that would hold my two portable kettles (the 18 and 14in). I figured this would...

    Weber kettle question

    Ok SMF, I need help. I have recently been given a brand new Weber 22 kettle for the steep price of a few beers and some pulled pork!! I would like to mod this kettle into a more "permanent" smoker as I won't be using this for grilling. The reason I say that, is I already have a 22 Weber kettle...

    Give me your best whole chicken process!

    Spatchcocked chickens are the best. I generally use some EVOO on the skin and use some of the Weber kickin' chicken rub as well as some Weber chicken rub without spices. I've used some butter under the skin and have liked the results but for sure not a necessity. I like to smoke them around 350...

    WSM sale question

    All, I love browsing CL for smokers and came across a 18in WSM with a BBQ guru for $150. Both units seem to be pretty solid condition. The WSM is the older model without the therm built in. Thoughts? FYI: I own a 22.5 kettle, a jumbo joe, and a Smokey Joe gold (I mainly use the Smokey joe for...

    Expanded steel for concrete block pit

    I'm looking to build a smallish concrete block pit at the house. My question for you all is what type of expanded steel should I get? I've seen and researched 3/4 #9 flat expanded steel is ideal. My next question is where could I find a piece big enough for the pit? I'm thinking of having it 3ft...

    Brisket question

    Dscofever, thanks for the tips. I've always wanted to go with the no wrap method for the bark but have worried about over smoking it. Will just have to try it out!

    Brisket question

    Briggy, would I set up just like any other smoke? Tinfoil dish filled with water and everything else standard for smoking on a Weber? Don't want to wrap as I want a good bark. Haven't yet done a brisket yet

    Brisket question

    Got a quick question for all you experts: I want to do a full packer but not sure how with my current smokers. I have the Weber 22.5in (in the table) as well as a mini WSM. is it possible to do a packer with my available grills/smokers? Any tips? Thanks!!
