    Would you buy this WSM 18.5" for $150.00 Need opinions

    Get it, that little bit of rust on the vent can be sanded and oiled and the grates can be replaced pretty cheap other than that it looks good. The outside of it was either cleaned really good or this thing was hardly used.

    Question about refridgerated storage

    Well I guess it only appropriate to check back and let you all know I'm still alive. The hot sauce turned out good so good I have made 2 batches since the original post. I still intend to learn how to properly store for long term. Here is a pic of the last jar of sauce, I take a couple of 5 oz...

    Should I "season" my brand new Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker?

    Most owners will tell you the best way to season that thing is with a couple of big ol butts. They have been known to run a tad hot the first few cooks, it took mine the better part of the Summer to get enough build up on the walls to make the temp control unbelievably easy. What size did you...

    Question about refridgerated storage

    Chef, first off thanks for that little rule of thumb, it had crossed my mind to just do it and get it over with but for some anal reason I thought maybe leaving little bits the way I did would some how help enhance the flavor before blending, yeh I know pretty goofy huh, it's still the same...

    Question about refridgerated storage

    Craig --- I like the simplicity of that procedure, This is a fermentation process isn't it and it doesn't require some form of starter. Considering the amount of salt used it it really salty tasting or does it mellow out some? Will I know if my hot sauce has crossed over to the dark side before...

    Question about refridgerated storage

    Thanks a million for all your input, I do realize the importance of properly canned and preserved foods and I probably will invest more on getting the proper equipment but I really wanted to find a good recipe for hot sauce before I do that's why I was trying to find out as much as I could about...

    Question about refridgerated storage

    Thats why I'm asking questions, one article I read said if you're using a vinegar based solution as part of your preserving process that a hot bath would probably be alright. Heck I've read some articles that mention just using salt and vinegar and leaving everything sit on a counter but at...

    Question about refridgerated storage

    Thanks, so am I on the right track though for short term storage of small batches of sauce, I'm hoping to get the rest of the stuff for hot water bathing but because I depend on the generousity of others for my veggies and stuff I don't want to go over board if I can keep it simple
