    damnit brother!! I'm stick burner bound! need advice...

    nice smoker for sure. already mentioned but worth repeating. that smoker will have temp sweet spot, and a range it like to operate in. shoot for 225 to 250. don't fight it when old drier splits run it up 285 right after you add them, it'll come back down. not the end of the world if your a...

    Why I'm Now Obsessed with Sharp Kitchen Knives

    I'm no pro on the sharpening but they are ok sharp. tomatoes and onions stay round anyway. I just want to add when the op mentioned having time, as smokers and particularly stick burners a butt or brisket is sharpening time. 10plus hours of nothing to do but tend the fire a little tv and knife...

    Thawing brisket - time?

    I'm just going to throw this out there. not a recommendation just example. I have granite counter tops so I throw a chunk of meet like brisket or butt on it and for about 3 to 5 hours I move or flip it during this time.. seems like the counter top does good job of starting the thawing process.

    What backyard grill should I get?

    you mention two different types of cooking so I see two different tools. I'm thinking a santa maria style for grilling. lots of surface area pending size of course and its wood or charcoal capable. then a smoker for smoking. two butts or briskets doesnt need a lot of room for smoking.
