Old school can still be the "best". That's why even though I bought a super-quigi-bo Humphrey's Pint reverse flow insulated cabinet, I still keep my original 18" WSM from 20 years ago in the corner of the porch. Sometimes getting back to basics is just therapy! Oh, and great looking rib smoke!

Now that's an interesting idea! I will have to give this a try next time I make pulled pork. Would be another good tool for the war chest to surprise folks with....

Pork rinds, and cashews (sparingly - very sparingly but I love them). And my favorite "desert" treat is either a homemade Kiltz Keto Ice Cream in my Wynter 1.5pt machine, or these bars. I found the best price on the bars at Sam's Club and they are 2 net grams per bar. Most of the time one of...

Oh yes buddy!!!! That photo even looks like a BBQ advertisement - great job!

I've had a burr grinder for probably 15 or more years and love it. It's a Baratza Encore which is their entry level burr grinder. They say it will do an espresso grind, but I've not tried that. I just grind beans for my Bunn maker.

I have not tried an alternative in sausage making. But..... At one time or another I think I've tried all the alternatives in my coffee. Allulose is not the same sweet flavor, and monk fruit blend was sort of "meh". I always seem to come back to a sucralose liquid (not the splenda brand...

Look at the rules closely. It may be like a "outdoor grilling" ban we just had initiated due to the drought conditions. On it's face, "outdoor grilling ban" sounds like none, zip, nada.... The actual language prohibits fire pits, camp fires, burn barrels, burn piles, charcoal grills and all...

Double Smoked ham (whole or spiral) is probably one of my favorite things to make. Super easy and tasty.

Unfortunately none of those stores near us (never heard of them). On the other hand, I was just looking at the grocery list for tomorrow and I always check the Kroger weekly sale and digital coupons. They have bone in butts for $1.49 a pound at our local store. I had added a "get 2 of these"...

Oh, I am so going to try this. I apparently missed the original post, but the recent comment moved it to the "what's new" list and wow! Great idea (and I even watched the DDD video on the YouTube to get the cheese sauce). Here is the original video that inspired this cook by CHOPSAW if anyone...

That looks nice and crispy! If I was not doing the low carb thing, I would jump all over giving these a try.

AC Legg and Owens are what I use. You can find AC Legg many places so shop around. Amazon is probably NOT the least expensive place to buy unless it's coming from the company. My local grocery store even carries their #10 breakfast sausage mix and will order the snack stick stuff for me (#116...

The appellate "specialist" at a local DA's Office just got her ass handed to her by the State Supreme Court. She filed a brief and the Chief Justice called her out for citing at least 5 cases that do not even exist in her brief, and other cases that do not mean what the brief said, along with...

Another phosphate binder I've used is Butcher & Packer Special Binder #414. A 1 pound bag is very inexpensive and last years (at least for me it does). I have AmesPhos, B&P 414, and of course NFDM (dry milk powder) and they all work. I use the B&P most of the time, mostly out of habit and...

When I bought my WSM back in 2004, I started out with a metal water heater pan under it. I later found a concrete and fiber grill base that was round at either HD or Lowes and used that. It was about 3/8" thick and very stiff. Still have both and whenever I use the WSM the fiber/crete base is...
