    Having a great weekend so far!

    I'm having a great weekend so far!  I started by throwing some burgers on the grill for lunch and I smoked them with some mesquite.  They came out absolutely wonderful!  Very juicy and flavorful for having only been seasoned with salt and pepper. I then threw some pecan on the coals and two...

Some...

    So my wife is seing me to school...

    My wife wanted to send me to a cooking class for Valentines day, and found a BBQ school to send me to but it was expensive ($199 to $249) and my smoker at the time was kinda sucky.  So she attempted to sign me up for a Sushi and Saki class for $40, but they have to build a roster of students...

    Been Awhile...

    That's the plan!  I'm going to disassemble, clean, repair/replace pieces, and put that grill back together like new!

    Been Awhile...

    It's been awhile since I've posted here.  I enjoyed smoking but I didn't do it often as it was a bit of a PITA with my cheap, small Smoke N Grill Brinkman.  I found that the temperature was very hard to control.  It would run away from me and get really hot, or get really low and burn out.  It...

    Newb needs some help here!!! (smoking two different meats on a little Brinkman and charcoal question

    Thanks for the reply.  Yeah, I use a charcoal chimney.  So I should be fine with charcoal briquettes? I have time to smoke both meats seperately I guess.  That would also allow me to use my themometer on both meats during the day.  What do you do when your done smoking a piece of meat?  Just...

    So I am going to smoke this weekend; only my third time using this little Brinkman Smoke N' Grill. I want to do a chicken ('cause my last one came out phenomenal!) AND a beef tenderloin. For the chicken, I was going to do a dry rub and then mix some butter and cajun seasoning to inject under...
