    What's so great about the Blackstone griddle?

    Hows that Camp Chef holding up for you Al? Any problems? I still have it on my Amazon wish list last time I checked they were out of stock. Hows that Camp Chef holding up Al? Any problems?

    Best Commercial Style Trailer Pit

    There is no real answer to this question. It's all in what pit best meets your needs and budget. There are a lot of custom fabricators out there that can make anything you could want for a price.

    Probably one of the nicest rigs I've ever seen!

    This thing looks like it has everything I would ever want in a smoker. What a beauty!. And it's within a 2 hour drive of me. I hate when that happens!! My mind is reeling with schemes on how I can get this rig in my driveway Take a moment and scroll through all the pics. I have about 6 times...

    Boos Blocks

    Just thought I'd update. Decided to go with this Boos Board. Decided against the pyramid cut design. Just couldn't justify the extra cost. I think this one will work out fine. With the money I saved I'm going to look for a nice fancy looking serving board.

    How To Keep Meat Warm?

    I use my Carlisle food keepers to keep pork butts warm overnight. I put them in the keeper at 205 or so in warm pans and they are still hot the next day. I got these off of Craigslist for $125 with the frame with casters they sit on to roll them around. Helluva a deal and been well worth it!

    Cause(s) for briskets tasting like pot-roast?

    Not enough smoke or wrapped and braised in juices. I pan my briskets with a little juice in the pan usually beef broth and some whiskey but I never cover them. The idea is to catch the brisket juices to make au jus. Let me add that I don't pan them for the first 5 hours or so.

    Boos Blocks

    Thanks b-one! I'm pretty confident in the quality of the Boos product I just haven't convinced myself that they are not over priced and I am paying 50% too much just to have Boos Blocks stamped on the side!

    Boos Blocks

    I need a new carving board. They type with the pyramid cut in the center for holding large roasts, turkeys etc. when carving. I had a very nice one but I misplaced it 2 years ago and haven't replaced it yet. They aren't easy to find. Boos makes them and their cheapest one is $175!! Yikes! Snow...

    Pricing on 2 meat combo for 200 people

    I do quite a few event cooks. Weddings, groomsmen dinners reunions etc. It really varies per situation. How far do I have to travel number of meats, am I providing sides etc. I don't do it for a living or a business it's just a fun hobby I make a few bucks at. A rule of thumb I use is if the...

    Cabinet style like Shirley Fabrication

    I have cabinet style doors on my smoker and love them. You lose very little heat when you open them vs. the large counter weight doors. Mine was built by a independent fab guy who has since passed sadly. The guy was a great talent. I think Lone Starz smokers will custom build you anything. They...

    Cooking for a party, need help

    Are the butts for pulled pork? If so cook them the day before or sooner and then reheat the day of. That way you can do the ribs at your leisure at the temp you want the day of the party. Long smokes such as pork butts and briskets for a party always gives me time conflicts. I usually have 30 to...

    My 63 birthday

    I heard Franklin gets his from Creekstone Farms. Not Waygu though just prime cuts. I think you can get a 12 to 14lb prime from them for like $120. I doubt there is much if any difference between prime and Waygu other than price.

    Birthday Beef ribs

    I went to the grocery store to buy fresh cherries and they looked awful and the frozen ones were stupid expensive for some reason so I passed on making the dessert today. I will post the recipe later but it's pretty simple. Almost like a dump cake. Your ribs look like they are coming along...
