    Butts-----Mustard before the rub or no?

    Good thread. I've never used mustard or EVOO. Now I got some new experiments!!!

    Best Ribs I Ever Ate

    Sorry about the no Q-view. My strategy was to do 2 butts, but while I was in the grocery store, I realized that if I timed it correctly, I could have some ribs ready for lunch! Woke up at 6AM, the meat was on the Char-griller by 7, and the baby back ribs were ready for noon. I did a 2.5-.5-2...

    Best Ribs I Ever Ate

    My second attempt at ribs on my smoker garnered the best ribs I've ever eaten!!!!!!!!! No Q-view for y'all, just HUGE thanks for all the advice, from smoker mods, to smoking techniques. I'd be lost without your help. Thankyoumuch!!!

    2-2-1 Variations

    Thanks for the advice, yall. I foiled for 90 minutes. They fell apart a little bit. So I guess, for me at least, it should be 2.5-1-1.5?

    2-2-1 Variations

    Thanks. I just poured a little Miller High Life in there. I guess I'll leave em foiled for 90 minutes.

    2-2-1 Variations

    I've got 4 racks of babys on the smoker + a butt. I'm rolling with the 2-2-1. I understand some of you like to modify this approach. I read somewhere here that if you foil babys for 2 hours, that's too long. What are the negative results of foiling for too long? Thanks

    My Smoker is Stuck at 120*

    That's cool, cause when its snowing in April, it is absolutely beautiful down here. I like to complain about the heat, but I'll take extreme heat over extreme cold anyday.

    here's how a chimney ought to look!

    Just bought a new Weber chimney today! My old one rusted out on me. I was happy, cause the old one was some crappy generic version that didn't have the good airflow of the Weber. I wanted to replace the old one, but couldn't justify buying a new one when the old one still worked. I was so...

    Weber replacement handle - What do you think?

    There is a fine line between clever and stupid!

    Chargriller

    Smoking on it right now! Paid about $250 for it a few months ago at Lowe's. $75 seems like a steal to me. Buy it and bang out a few mods (lower the chimney, make a baffle, and fabricate a grate for the firebox) and you're good to go!

    Brisket $$$

    It was a 8 lb. flat. And yes, it was trimmed. The selection was not great. It was either the 8 lb flat or the 19 lb packer! I'd happily pay 1/2 the price and trim it myself!
