    smoke box for grills

    Anyone ever try one of these? I bought it several years ago when a neighbor gave me an old gas grill. It died before I tried. Prolly a good thing, I've done some bad things to food with a gas grill. I cut a piece of stainless shim stock to lay on top of the chips in case they burn up too...

    Hello from slOHIO

    EAST TEXAS!! I've done some valve work down in Beaumont/Vidor, Longview, and Pasadena. I was down there in the spring. The only problem I have with working down there is I can't eat the Mexican food around here anymore. I have my own fool proof method for finding good food down that way. If...

    jeff's buttermilk brine recipe

    I saw a reference to this in a post and cannot find it. Can someone post a link to it? Pretty Please? I marinade really thick porkchops in buttermilk and fry them with zataran's seasoned fish fry as a coating and it works great. The corn meal doesn't burn like wheat flour (at least, I think...

    rib hooks

    I've been using the supplied shelves and thinking of getting a rib rack or 2. Something to increase capacity of my ST1400. I was worried about them falling apart if I hang them. But I have some 316Lss TIG wire that would make good strong hooks..... Thanks all, ralphed

    TBS?

    I do leave it in for the full smoke time in warmer weather. I occasionally get my butt moving early enough to get my butt in the smoker so it'll be done for dinner, but RA and cold mornings suck. I find myself doing more ribs and bird in the winter and less butt, 'cause I can start it late and...

    rib hooks

    Do you have to use more than 1 per rib rack? I want to hang some and was thinking that I have to chain a couple together and support the ribs at a couple points to keep the ribs from falling apart. thanks all, ralphed

    Pork belly costs?

    Near canton/alliance I got quotes ranging from 2.79 to 3.99 for trimmed out belly (qty of 1). Around 8-10 pounds. I buy a cured belly from a place in Hartville, OH that makes bacon for 3.99. That way I can learn to smoke it before I go on to long dry curing. I rent and the fridge barely holds...

    The charcoal briquette? (I read it on a bag of lump charcoal a long time ago) I bet everybody here knows, but I run into a lot of folks outside grilling who don't. ralphed

    Mes 40 any tips for cleaning window

    You might try a baking soda paste or white vinegar, maybe mixed into a paste with coarse salt if you don't want to use chemicals. Scrub it with a Dobie scrubber. A good wash with dish soap after will prolly remove chemical residue, though. I think some o' these folks would know if it tainted...

    TBS?

    This is about 25 minutes after I put the pork butt into my ST140 and turned the unit to 225. It's prolly 40F, or less, here in NE Ohio. I added about 1/8 cup each mesquite and pecan chips and about 1/2 cup of cherry chips onto the charred chips left over from last smoke (I think this insulates...
