    Another smoked loaf

    That looks delicious! So many things you can do with it. Smoked meatloaf sandwiches! Smoked meatloaf is one of my favorite things besides ribs and pork shoulder.

    Love me a good pork-chop.

    I love those t-bone pork chops! I do mine on my Webber kettle. Offset cooked and seared at the finish. Rested in a cast iron pan of hot butter with garlic and thyme. Best bite, is the end with the crunchy fat on it.

    Pepper grinder.

    I have a Pepper Canon too. Pricy, but I wanted fresh pepper for brisket. It really is a nicely made piece of machinery.

    Newb from NY

    Welcome aboard Buck, from Massachusttes. You need to try smoking a meatloaf. Oh, so good! The Weber Kettle is so versatile. Lump or briquettes, with the snake method or a slow 'n sear. You can have a blast with them and make some good BBQ!

    Cast iron brands

    I have Lodge and a Stargazer 10.5" skillet. Both serve their intended purpose. The Stargazer is very nicely finished. Worth the price if you use it everyday.

    Workhorse 1975 arrived.

    It was worth the year wait. Nicely made and easy to control temp with. Did ribs and a pork shoulder for the first cook. Love the more subtle taste of the smoke. Much better than what I achieved with charcoal. Have a TMG Santa Maria on the way. What is another six months..:emoji_wink: Doctor...

    CPB Dino ribs

    Jaxgatorz those look awesome! I just bought a five pound prime rack on Saturday. Can't wait to cook them. I used to live in Orange Park in the late 1980's-early 1990's. Bigtank can you show us a picture of your Iowa snow. I won't see any till December.

    The pitbarrel cooker I have is nice. There is little you can do to control temps. Just start a smaller fire and work the bottom vent and check often. I would never give up my kettle for any of the other types I own.

    Thank you again Chopsaw for the additional info. I figure with the kettle,I would use the snake method with charcoal briquettes. With that FireDial baffle plate in to help distribute the heat better and put a drip pan with water and a large chopped onion. I should be able to control temps better...

    Chopsaw those look awesome! Just ordered the Weber rotisserie from Amazon. They had a good sale on the Weber brand one. I got a bad feeling it's going to be a long winter! Thanks for the pics and info! Pete

    This hail damage repair never going to be over!

    My heart goes out to you. Hang in there. I was flooded with six inches of water in my basement one spring. For an entire month I was manually pumping water from my basement. Every six hours I had to suck all the water out and wait for it to start all over again. I feel for you. Try to stay...

    How do I make less bark on my ribs.

    Go a little lighter on the pepper, keep your temps at 225 degrees through out the cook. Spritz with water often and wrapping them to finish off the cook should keep a heavy bark from forming. Should take approx. 5 hours total time depending on the ribs.

    Got to try pickle brine as well! Never did that before. Just looked up how to make it. I have a Vortex. I just bought a FireDial Baffle Plate for my 22" Weber kettle. I can't wait to try it!
