I love Stubbs charcoal! It's the only thing I'll buy now! I like it better than Kingsford. Good for long smokes and grilling.Just like Fire it up said,no odor to it like Kingsford. And it seems to last longer.  

That's what I was thinking,but I wasn't sure.From the research I've done,no one has been very clear on this.All most of them say is "The thermometer isn't very accurate". I just want to solve potential problems before I get started.I've never worked with a smoker this big before,and thought Id...

Can anyone tell me if the length of a thermometer matters? I want to build a UDS,and don't know if I should go with a short stem,or one about 10 inchs or so. Or does it even matter. Thanks in advance, Dave

But this year,when I fry my turkey,I think Im gonna fry it in the house,in the living room,on top of the shag carpet.But dont worry,Ill put some news papers down so I dont ruin the carpet, and fill my fryer to the top so I know I have enough oil.Oh yeah, Ill have some gas on hand so I can...

I have only fried about 4 turkeys In my life. Two of them came out very good,and two of them....not so good. I think that most of us can agree that this is the most informative board on the net(IMO) .But,in doing some research on frying turkeys today,one post I read said fry with legs...

Sounds like a good Idea! How long do you smoke it for? 1-2 hours maybe?

I would have taken some pics,but I cant find my camera.(This is what happens when you get old) I did get to taste some of the bark,It was very good. This BBQ is really gonna t me off If I have to do it her way. But...

Oh yeah, I forgot. I will post pics for your your education on how to f%#@ up a pork butt.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Here's the deal...We bought 36# of pork. The crowd keeps growing. Were now up to 35 people. And it will problry get bigger.I'm making all the sides too.So far we're in it for$130. If they charge $9.00 per plate,that's $315 in.$130 out.That's $185 in the clear.(Can...

Yes Its for some elederly people, and there will be sides. They dont want to over spend,because this is how they make extra money for the club house. Im not suer how much there charging for a plate.

Im smoking pork butts for about 30 people this weekend. Were having pulled pork on buns. I want to make sure I have enough to go around. How many buts do I need?

I heard this guy on the radio today. He says no one will ever figure out how to do this. I think he's wrong. http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog/428360/ed-stansel/2010-08-27/fried-beer-ultimate-fair-food
