    ribs in a pan?

    Doing ribs tomorrow and following the recipe from the Myron Mixon book.  I made up the rub and the spritz and they are in the marinade now.  He says to put them in a foil pan and put that into the smoker, I've never done them that way and just wondering if you still get as much smoke flavor?

    salmon help

    Sorry guys no pictures, I was doing this at work.  It turned out great, had about 7-8lbs and we ate the last piece this morning.  We have about 20lbs more in the freezer at work and the guy who gave it to me has 80-100lbs still at home, so I think I'll be doing a lot of salmon in the next month...

    salmon help

    Thanks.  I had 2 fillets and I cut them into pieces about 3-4 inches wide, the thickest ones are about 2.5 inches thick.  These were caught from Lake Michigan and this is a trial run, if it turns out good I've got about 20 more pounds to do!  Keeping my fingers crossed!!!

    salmon help

    Doing some salmon and seems to be going pretty quick.  I brined it over night, rinsed off and dried with paper towels, then put on a rack to dry and form the pellicle.  After about 2 hours it had a nice sheen and was a little tacky like its supposed to.  I'm using a GOSM and I put a needle valve...

    GOSM convert to charcoal?

    I've got the big GOSM but would like to use charcoal, I'm thinking I could just buy a big metal bowl and sit it in the opening in the bottom where the burner is and dump the charcoal in there?  I dont think I have vents on the bottom, just the top so I will probably have to put in a vent on each...

    new smoker

    Need a new smoker and was looking at the 40" Masterbuilt that Sams has.  I read a lot of good things on here but wondering what its like going from a GOSM to an electric smoker?  I loved my GOSM but it took a real beating this winter, got blown across the yard a few times and banged up pretty...

    great license plate

    Just saw a  car with license plate that read OD ON BBQ, thought it was great.  So I pulled up next to him at the light and gave him a smile and a big thumbs up, he must have thought I was hitting on him cause he nearly ran the red light to get away.  Anyways, thought it was a cool license plate.

    Brine?

    I've done a few turkeys now and they have turned out great but I want to brine one this time.  I've found a good brine recipe but not sure if I should change anything or cut back on the salt if I buy an "enhanced bird" which seems to be about all I see unless I want to spend $50.

    best beer for BBQ

    Sam Adams Black Lager is great, been drinking that this week. Also got a 4 pack of Sam Adams Imperial White, which is also a great one but at 10% and $10 for a 4 pack dont think I'll be drinking too many of them.

    Char Griller DUO?

    Anyone have one of these?  My gas grill is about shot and I've been wanting to get a charcoal grill but like the ease of my gas grill so this seems to be the perfect solution.  Also I would get the side fire box so I could use it as a smoker.  Seems like a good all in one unit.

    pulled pastrami

    I had a party this weekend and was doing pulled pork so thought I'd try pulled pastrami also, turned out GREAT!  I've done pastrami 2 other times, smoked then steamed the next day and then sliced, so I just thought if I steamed longer I could pull it the same as pulled pork.  So I had 3 corned...
