    Cast iron on top of the OEM tray really seems like the way to go. It's been working well for me. One more question... Has anyone tried putting wood AND charcoal in the pan to start off the cook before switching to gas to impart a little extra flavor and char?

    Whats your favorite BBQ sauce?

    My favorite so far is easily Bob Gibson's Red Sauce. Not a fan of their white sauce, but the red sauce is pretty killer.

    New to smoking/BBQ....hoping to alleviate some of my confusion!

    Anytime you close off your airflow you run the risk of getting soot on your meat. So you need good airflow, but you need to control it. What I was referring to with the foil, is I would create walls with the foil. It does not really touch the meat, it just acts as a shield to the places where...

    New to smoking/BBQ....hoping to alleviate some of my confusion!

    I don't know that I would close off the holes. You could end up with soot on your meat. I would personally look for ways of blocking the wind. When I used the gas grill for smoking, I just used foil loosely around the meat to shield in the direction of the vents/holes. That worked well for me.

    Have you tried?....

    Something I tried recently on my ABT's is Philadelphia's Chive and Onion cream cheese. That stuff is killer on ABT's (or anything for that matter!) Anyone else tried it?

    It may also have something to do with the construction of your gas grill. I started out using a gas grill too and found that all the ventilation holes typical in a gas grill allowed for a lot of breezes to blow in and reduce the temp. Smokers in most cases have a little better design for...

    Something To Think About

    Thanks Jeff. I literally have 4, half inch flat iron steaks in my refrigerator right now, unsure if I can cook them medium. I'm sure I can, just trying to figure out the science of why I can! Again, great discussion. Massive meat is usually what is addressed in these temperature threads. When...

    Johnny Trigg and Myron Mixon recipes--UPDATED!!!

    I do roughly the same technique with my ribs, though without the tiger sauce. I have a bottle sitting around here but I just can't get into the flavor of it. Not my cup of tea. Do you guys like it? Obviously it would be tough to tell on ribs with 10 other ingredients but by itself, not my thing.

    Something To Think About

    It's a legitimate question that deserves a legitimate answer. I think I have a good understanding about the safety of meat but I do not necessarily know the facts. "Stirring the pot" is in reference to the fact that I know this type of question spurs a lot of discussion and thinking, and...

    Great discussion guys! I totally agree with everything you're saying. I just love stirring the pot! :biggrin:

    Something To Think About

    I've read that bacteria grows roughly half an inch into the outside of meat. This allows us to cook the outside half inch of the steak to temp, and we are able to enjoy our steaks at a tender medium rare. Here's the conundrum... Let's say I'm grilling a thin steak like a half inch flat iron...

    new to smoking

    I have the same smoker. My chips and or chunks would be gone in literally ten minutes when I first used it. Buy a 10" cast iron skillet. Place your chips in there and place the skillet on top of the old, flimsy chip pan. It makes a world of difference. Your wood won't immediately burst into...

    Fathers day BBQ

    I think your dad will make time, even after surgery, for something like that! He's going to be proud for sure.
