    Kingsford blue bag vs kingsford competition

    Gee, I've been using BB for years.  I haven't noticed any unusual odor.  I'm from Indiana, so it's anyone's  guess what part of the country my charcoal comes from.  I've tried RO several times but still I wait for our Lowe's to do a 2 for 1 sale on the major holidays for Kingsford.  I stock up then.

    BBQ Pitmasters

    I agree, this season is a big disappointment!!  I think Ryan from Grill on Grill said it best, "This is BBQ Pitmasters Not BBQ Side Dish Cookers."   I liked it better last season when they showed the contestants actually cooking real BBQ.

    Memorial Day Butts - My first overnight smoke

    So, if I'm reading this right, this smoke lasted a total of 15 hours?  Reason I ask is because I just finished my first attempt at pulled pork this last weekend, and mine lasted 14 hours.  The internal temp was 192 when I yanked it off the smoker.  Only because it was 11 pm and I had to work...

    Maverick ET-73

    Hey guys, can anybody tell me if there is a difference between the Maverick ET-73 and the ET-7? I just checked Amazon and they only list the ET-7 for $39.99. No mention of the ET-73 at all. Is this the new and improved model?

    The Minion Method Explained w/ Tutorial

    This is an excellent suggestion. I just did my first smoke since modding my Char-Griller, and what a difference it made. The shaker basket fits perfectly and held the temp to a constant 200 - 225 for 4 hours with only adding more wood chunks for smoke. BTW, I used the Minion Method.

    Sunday's Smoke

    Just thought I'd share my Q-View with you guys. This is the first smoke since the mods on my Char-Griller Pro. I can't say enough about how much more even temps were after the tuning plates were added. It made a great difference in the performance. Also, the 3" River Country Temp gauges...

    A Cleaning Answer

    A couple of weeks ago I asked a question about how to clean the greasy build up on the inside of my equipment. I got a lot of really great suggestions on what to use and what not to use. In the meantime, I emailed Weber products for their input. They promptly responded with a suggestion of...

    BBQ sauce thickened?

    I do the Corn Starch thing in my sauce. It works ok, but the Xanthan Gum that BBQ Addict mentioned sounds like something I'd like to try. Thanks for the info.
