    Smoking on a Ketlle BBQ

    You need to work the vents together for best results. Exactly how will depend on the characteristics of your cooker and how much charcoal you have burning. More air means more fire and vice versa so the wider you open the bottom vent, the hotter your fire will burn and the faster your fuel will...

    Chicken wing rub recipe

    A while back I saw a thread where somebody made a rub for chicken using lemonade powder so I got to thinking and putting stuff together. Well, what I came up with is a concoction that is excellent on wings. It does ok for whole chicken, but it really shines on the wings. It's spicy, without...

    What Pops said! That'll be one of the best dollars you'll ever spend. Here's a KC style recipe that's good if you like KC style BBQ: Ingredients: 2 cups water 3/4 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup tomato paste 1/2 cup vinegar 3 tablespoons molasses 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4...

    smoked: chicken Breast Strips wrapped in Bacon. Bacon.

    Man, Redeyejedi, you are right on time!! I was just racking my brain to come up with something new to do with some boneless, skinless breasts. I'm thinking a simple salt/brown sugar brine and finish with some KC Masterpiece cut with apple juice to bring it all together. I'm kicking myself for...

    Bone In Pork Country Style Ribs - stalled?

    According to folks who have spent a lot more time than I have studying the science of BBQ, the stall happens when your meat is losing moisture and therefore cooling at a rate equal to or faster than the pit can heat it up. That's a simplified explanation but it's essentially what's...

    Bone In Pork Country Style Ribs - stalled?

    It's probably too late to help you with this cook now but if it happens again, IF you have the color you want, go ahead and foil, jack the pit up to 275-300 and keep a close eye on them. Once it breaks through the stall, it won't take long to hit 195-200. Michael

    smokin butts

    Honestly, I don't know what temperature I actually cook at, but a 7-8 pound butt usually takes right at 6 hours at 275 - 300 degrees according to the thermometer on my pit. I use my turkey thermometer to check the IT of the meat to know when to wrap, when to pull, etc. And yes, that is fairly...

    Quick & Easy Chicken - QView

    Knifebld, I've tried brining, and injecting chickens and for us, brining is the way to go. I noticed the same thing you did, the birds weren't as moist and didn't soak up as much smoke without the brine. Also, by brining, it seems the flavor goes all the way to the bone and I haven't been able...

    Amazing Injection

    That sounds very interesting. I can see the lemonade giving it a nice tang. I've been using a recipe similar to that except I use soy sauce and Worchestershire instead of the lemonade. 1 cup Apple Juice 1 cup Water 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar 1/2 cup Salt 1 TBS Soy Sauce 1 TBS Worcestershire...
