    Tennessee Gathering April 30-May 2

    How am I just now seeing this thread? I live in the Midsouth area on the west side of TN, and would love to pitch a tent somewhere & have a good ole camp & BBQ. Which one of you madmen do I PM for details?

    20 pound brisket on the WSM

    Took off from work to smoke a 20 pound behemoth. Papa Llama is from the midwest so I've been working on my beef bbq since that's what he grew up with. Been reading a book by Aaron Franklin, so I changed my methodology and it made noticeable improvements in this cook. The bark was perfect...

    Vortex Wings & Cigars

    I only have a 22" kettle. I've been pretty successful going by temp, unless the skin really does look done. The wings were insanely juicy & tender this last weekend, so it seems to be working.

    Vortex Wings & Cigars

    I did it on the kettle. I have doubts about the WSM working for 2 reasons. The first is that the space between the top of the vortex and the grates above it would be much further apart. Secondly, I can't predict if the vortex would be able to create the same heat distribution in a WSM which is...

    Vortex Wings & Cigars

    I followed the same method again this past weekend & it definitely took 1.5 hours at 300-325F. Not sure if it's the brining, cold weather, etc... but 1.5 hours seems to be the correct timing for me.

    Vortex Wings & Cigars

    The internal temp read 165-168F on most of them, so I'm not sure what the difference could be. I'll be trying this again this weekend & timing my results more thoroughly. I'll have to see if it is the same timing.

    That small section of wing is my spoon for ranch dipping. :emoji_laughing:

    Vortex Wings & Cigars

    With some extra Christmas money, I decided to splash that cash on a Vortex. Wings are my favorite thing to make, but I've always been unhappy with the skin on smoked wings so I have stuck to primarily grilling them. To make smoking them work I've had to lightly fry them afterwards or work hard...

    Minion Method on WSM???

    The minion method is my go-to method. @gmc2003 describes it very well. I think the only major difference between his method & mine is that I have filled the water pan with sand. It's a very good for temperature control & I have found that it prevents the temperature from running away too quickly.

    DIY Tandoori Oven

    This weekend my father in-law & I built a tandoori oven. This idea was spawned after we saw a video of Georgy Kavkaz grilling in one. Seemed like it was easy enough to build & it definitely was! In all, it took us 5 hours to source & purchase parts, then finally build the oven. The oven cooked...

    Turkey: To Spatchcock or not?

    Spatchcocking has some major advantages like even cooking & quicker time, but I prefer to do it normally. On a higher heat, the bird will come out really nicely and look beautiful while still looking like a turkey.

    Smoked Turkey for Office Potluck

    Our office does holiday potlucks, but this year we did a socially distanced potluck (grab your food, go back to your office). I was in charge of the smoked turkey, so I modified the Maple Smoked BBQ Turkey recipe from Jeff. I used this as a test run before Thanksgiving with the parents on...
