    ADVICE: Need a new grill - Weber vs. Char-Griller

    We live about 40 miles northwest of Houston between Tomball and Magnolia.  I found it at the HEB Central Market in Houston as well as Austin but the price was outrageous.  Our local HEB doesn't carry it because it is not very popular in Texas as brisket is.  Costco sells it for almost $6 a pound...

    ADVICE: Need a new grill - Weber vs. Char-Griller

    Dang, you can walk into any grocery store and pick up tri-tips but here in Texas I can only find them in Costco.  Love Texas but one more reason to miss Southern Cal.  Hope those tri-tips come out great!

    Mini WSM Finally Done!!!!

    I'm sorry, mine was too small for the smokey joe gold lid so I gave you the wrong instructions.  Yes you can put it on a flat surface and tap on the rim but you'll have some indentations on the pot. The IMUSA lid will be more perfectly round than the pot rim so see if it fits into the smokey joe...

    Mini WSM Finally Done!!!!

    I had to tweak mine also.  I put it upside down on a flat surface (couple of short 2X4's) and gently tapped on the outside of the rim all the way around, with a light hammer and short piece of wood.  I then put the Smokey Joe lid on and discovered that it was too tight. By gently tapping on the...

    Water and sand

    Do you use an empty pan or do you put something in it for a heat sink (or water)?  My terracotta pan finally cracked so I picked up some 12 in aluminum deep dish pizza pans.  I know several mini WSM owners have posted that they stopped using terracotta and switched to pie pans, etc., I'm going...

    Mini WSM Finally Done!!!!

    I started out with no basket on my gold but made one at 3 1/2 inches so it would be below the grate if I used just the SMJ as a grill.  I found that I can lay out my charcoal be it briquettes or lump along with my wood chunks much easier for what I am smoking.  Also, when I finish I usually have...

    Best Beginner Charcoal Smoker

    I would have to agree with Dirt Sailor and Texas Ray and go with the Mini WSM.  I've been kicking around what smoker to buy for over two years and still plan on getting a larger one someday (the 18.5 WSM) but I built the mini and really see no need to buy another smoker.  You will have a blast...

    Those with a mini wsm

    Did you enlarge the holes in your steamer for using it as the diffuser?  Also, those were some mighty good looking ribs on one of your recent posts.  I have been on the fence for awhile about getting the Guru but I think you just pushed me off.

    New to smoke but pretty good griller

    Hello to all that have been smoking meat/fish/poultry.  I lived in Southern California for many years and thought I was BBQing.  That is until I moved to Texas and realized there has to be smoke involved or it's called grilling.  I'm looking to purchase my first smoker and leaning toward the...

    Mom Wants Smoked Salmon

    I've been grilling salmon for many years and discovered the best recipe by accident when we were visiting in California.  We only had Costco's Sweet Mesquite seasoning on hand (great for Tri Tip) so I gave it a try.  First though I picked a tangerine off a tree and squeezed the juice all over...
