    Tips on Leg of Lamb

    I bone it, marinate it with herbs and red wine, roll it up into a neat lump and stick it on the rotisserie.  I would guess that smoker would work too, but you will want to cook it hotter and faster than smoking, so you can brown the outside and keep the inside from over cooking.

    Another "My first St. Louis ribs" smoke.

    Beans on top?!?!  How do you get meaty goodness dripping into them when they are on top?  lol

    Thinking about a WSM 18.5in...would love feedback

    Expanded from above.  These are not my photos, I've swiped them from a google search. The Minion Method says to pour unlit coals in the ring and pour a chimney of hot coals on top. As the hot coals burn out the new coals fire up. The Minion method is much better at keeping the temp steady...

    Thinking about a WSM 18.5in...would love feedback

    the fuse will use less fuel. Also the 22.5 can have an issue of staying at lower temps, especially when new. You can google up minion method and fuse method. There is good info on it, but it links to another site and that might be frowned on

    For weighing cure and spices... this might be a good deal...

    That is a cute little scale, but I think might be too small.

    First Pork Butt ?s

    Looks good to me, you are going to have a really dark bark. I would foil it until 195 temp and the finish no foil. But I don't like super dark bark. That's the best thing about butts, and bbq in general, you do what you like! There is no real "wrong" way.

    fuel usage between WSM 18.5" and 22.5"

    But you shouldn't buy based on how much charcoal it is going to burn, but how much food you think you are going to need to cook. If you will want to cook 4+ bitts with beans, or a ton of ribs, then buy the 22.5. If you are cooking for a family of four, then it might be over kill. However...

    fuel usage between WSM 18.5" and 22.5"

    I use an auber fan and controller on my 22WSM. I use the fuse method and run it inside of the 22.5 ring. I light it with a couple of weber fire starter cubes. Wood chunks go on top of the fuse. I burned through just less than 1/2 of the medium bag to smoke beer butt chickens. My WSM is...

    Heat Drop

    Huh, I just toss more un-lit on to the coals. No need to pre-light

    Cold Smoked Eggs Deviled

    Ok, I know that there are no dumb questions, but I'm going to try and have a few here... 1. Raw eggs or hardboiled?   2. If hardboiled. the pealed or shells on? 3. Could I use raw eggs and heat + smoke to hard cook them, in the smoke?

    Roll Call

    According to Google, that looks like a little "bullet" type smoker. Always use the drip pan when smoking, and you may find filling it with water will help to maintain a cooler temp. I know squat about kosher, so I don't mean to offend if I do. Chicken is usually pretty cheap to play around...

    Reheating Pulled Pork

    That low of a temp?  It will take hours to heat back up.  You would do better reheat in an oven at say 350, until the temp is up ( stirring the meat along the way ) and then using the smoker as a warming box, but keep a temp prob in the meat so you don't re-cook it.

    Experiments with my butt

    Perhaps I missed it, but what was the total time / temp on the half-a-butts compared to the full butt?

Great deal on LEM Grinders!
