    Scored one!

    I picked up this 22" Weber Platinum for $50 yesterday. I was told it's about 5 years old, but it doesn't look like it was used more than a dozen times as the inside of the kettle was still glossy. Has all the parts and even came with the chimney starter (now I have two). I washed it up and put...

    Using Sand instead of Water

    The water might not get above 212°, but the meat box sure will. Before I switched to sand, I've seen the heat climb to 300° or more...and the water was boiling like mad!

    New UDS on the block

    I'm still getting the hang of temperature control on this one. I have four ½" pipes, and even with 3 blocked it rides hot. I think I'm starting with too many hot coals. My first smoke was before it was finished....just couldn't wait! It was chicken halves, beef loin roast and fatties.

    New UDS on the block

    Just put the finishing touches on my drum smoker. The ash pan came from my GOSM and the charcoal basket stands above it about 2½". It can cruise about 12-16 hours on a single load of fuel. Whatcha think?

    The best Tamale Pie I ever ate

    I made this tonight and got raves from the family. Thanks for the recipe! I used a large cast-iron skillet and used my home-made salsa in place of the picante sauce.

    my old days

    my old days

    Wish I had trees around here to get pickings from....other than mesquite that is. Great for grillin'...not so much for smokin'.

    Pork quantity question

    I've never considered brining a butt, mainly because they seem moist enough already. What did you brine it with?

    mustard before the rub

    I use mustard because I have so damn much of it to use up! I can't taste it at all, and it does add to the bark.
