    Was given a large boneless ribeye roast - how do I cook it?

    Hi all, A friend of mine works for a meat distributor and he gave me a big frozen ribeye roast, about 6 pounds.  I'm not sure how to cook it.  My wife and kids won't eat it medium rare, either.

    First Boston Butt - how do I manage it with my grill?

    First Boston Butt - how do I manage it with my grill?

    Thanks!  I'll start with that.  If I remove the divider, I get enough heat on the other side, but without removing the divider I won't get much heat OR smoke.  But you're saying I can put the water pan on the grate between the meat and the fire?  That would be convenient.  The biggest problem...

    First Boston Butt - how do I manage it with my grill?

    Hi all.  I joined the site a few months ago at the suggestion of my uncle-in-law, Larry. Anyway, I was planning to try my first Boston Butt, but as I read some of the other threads I realized I might have a couple problems with my grill.  As you can see from the picture, it's a two-chambered...

    (First post) It was awesome, Lar.  You're right - the brisket was perfect.  Made me think I was back in East Texas.  Now you've got me itching to try it myself!
