    Having a great weekend so far!

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...

    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...

    My first smoke in about a decade (in progress with pictures)!

    So about 10 years ago, I used a firend's small Brinkman smoker to do 3 Boston Butts over a 3 month period.  My wife and I recently won a (cheapy) Brinkman smoker in a charity raffle, and today, I began using it! The burgers are2lbs of 80/20 beef, with some salt, fresh ground pepper, parsley...

    Gearing up

    So I have my cheap smoker from Brinkman.  I hit the Home Depot today, and picked up a grate for the charcoal pan, a charcoal chimney, some mesquite wood, and a heat resistant glove.  I also have a Maverik RediChek smoker thermometer in-bound.  Other than the proper charcoal, anything else I need...

    Smoked Burgers????

    Ok, so for my first attempt at smoking I want to do burgers.  A local BBQ house has got me hooked on theirs, and I want to take the flavor home! I've looked up a bunch of recipes, and I am confused about using or not using binders.  It seems a lot of recipes I have found by Googling also have a...
