    Question About Weber Paraffin Starter Cubes

    I used to always start my chimney with the side burners on my grill. Last month someone gave me a box of the cubes and I haven't been able to detect any residual taste and nobody else has mentioned it, and this crew would. I suspect since it isn't getting chemical on the actual charcoal, it...

    I would bet they settled on a smoker after 3 years, just a gut feeling :)

    Brisket Price Variations

    Brisket along with tri-tip, tongue, heart, beef ribs with no meat whatsoever left on them all used to be throw away and cheap, then BBQ got popular, 384 TV shows dedicated to it appeared and now you have to mortgage your kids for a weekend smoke.

    Sleep...or more appropriately lack of...

    I often find my mind running full power when I am ready to sleep. I also have tinnitus which can get really bad around bedtime. I put on talk radio at a very low volume. Just loud enough that I can hear the voices but not so loud that IO can fully follow the conversation. This keeps me from...

    Maverick Help

    When I get new probes I use boiling water to see how accurate it is and wrap a piece of tape around the cord, near the plug and write how many degree off it is -1, +3, whatever it is. Helps keep me sane.

    Boneless pork butt into pulled pork-SOMETHING WENT WRONG, please help.

    Another thought, a 1.5lb chunk of meat simply doesn't have the mass to maintain IT for long in a cooler and I have found that if you let a butt cool down too much before pulling it will tighten up and force you to chop it. I also smoke for myself and the wife only but I always go for a good size...

    Have beef and pork ribs in at the moment and plan on a brisket and 2 butts over the weekend along with a number of sides of coarse.

    Anyone ever used onions with their wood in the smoker

    I would think you would get some nasty smoke doing that but I am sure someone will pop in here who has tried it and set us right.

    Avoiding bland brisket taste

    East Texas places usually remove the fat. I have no idea why they started doing this but I have had places ask me why I would want the fatty slices?

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    Should have discussed your question too. The Black Angus choice is what I try and get a hold of when my local stores have it at a decent price. Prime would be great but I don't know if you would notice a difference between them.

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    Don't kid yourself into thinking it is the cut of brisket, unless you have mastered brisket to a very high level you're probably going to waste your money. Aaron could cook far lower quality cuts and it would be damn near as good. In fact he had a problem at one point and had to go to choice...
