    Emergency help needed! Open fire beef ribs

    Hi gang, the subject line says it all. Have some company coming into town this weekend, one of the guys really wants to try to cook a rack of beef ribs, low and slow (as we can), over an open fire/coals. Despite a plethora of grills and smokers around here, he’s deadset in trying this “in the...

    Best part, not a single pot or pan to be washed inside!

    Advice on new toy for new deck needed

    Update: went with a Blackstone! Seemed to be the most versatile of these ideas for a new cooking gadget and also, by a long shot, the most economical. Got a nice deal on a 36” with hard cover price matching at Fleet Farm (closer to me) with a Tractor Supply ad. Got it assembled tonight. Just...

    Advice on new toy for new deck needed

    . I’ve definitely considered trying this out, it really sounds like the epitome of American BBQ. I know so little about it but it has my interest. One thing I’ve pondered is how big of a side hobby does firewood need to be? Do most people just buy dried hardwood firewood and keep a certain...

    I hadn’t heard or thought of this, do they go through it pretty fast?

    Advice on new toy for new deck needed

    We’re building a deck this spring and despite the high cost of lumber and contractors, all I can think about is finally having a dedicated outdoor cook area and the urge to buy a new cooking toy or gadget to keep on said deck. Not having to haul the grills out of the garage every time I want to...

    KJ Classic 1

    I know what you mean, I have a couple kettles myself. We have very cold winters here (MN) and I’m particularly interested in the extra insulation for long smokes, but I haven’t even used a Kamado before. I expect I’ll get one someday but not sure if this is the one.

    KJ Classic 1

    In other words, I like feeling like I got a good deal even better than I like the latest and greatest products but this doesn’t quite feel like it.

    KJ Classic 1

    What would you guys pay for a Kamado Joe Classic 1 at this point? There’s been a display model sitting at my local fleet farm for literally a few years for $750 that I’ve been waiting to go on sale just to get rid of it. I finally asked about it and they said they’d knock it down to $675. This...

    Grilling writers block: too much slow n’ sear/indirect cooking?

    Odd question that’s been circulating in my head recently, don’t know quite how to phrase it but here goes nothing, you guys always give great advice. I’ve been grilling or smoking very regularly since buying our house a little better than a year ago when I also treated myself to a 26” Kettle...

    Weber 26 inch Kettle

    Bought my first brand new Weber of my very own last year before we closed on our home, the 26” kettle. It’s seen a ton of use and the extra cooking space is well worth it if you ever cook for a crowd, or like to do things that take up a lot of space like wings, poppers, multiple racks of ribs...

    Another jerk fail...

    Wow! Great suggestions everyone. Thank you all so much. I’m going to play around a little more and see if I can get it right. Anyone have any favorite sides to serve with a jerk bbq meal?

    Another jerk fail...

    Great suggestions, everyone. I was “smoke roasting” it on high, indirect heat on a Weber kettle. Maybe next time I’ll lay the marinade on a little lighter and forego the pimento wood and see what happens, perhaps grill a bit more over direct heat.
