    Big Cook Question?

    I did some pulled pork for the 50 or 60 people that were still on site during the apocalypse last year. I three butts were way more than enough for that crowd. Things were different at that time though. People chose not to eat since there were so many unknowns about that pandemic. But I recall...

    Big Cook Question?

    Just trying to plan ahead here. I will most likely be cooking for a large company event. I will not be paid like a caterer but management will be paying for the meat. I am most likely looking at feeding 200 or so people. I will smoke and serve the meat and the rest of the food will be part of a...

    Is Weber the better brand?

    Excellent choice. I am definitely a believer in Weber quality. My kettle is my favorite grilling platform of all time. No need to reinvent the wheel. I look forward to your Q view. G

    Is Weber the better brand?

    Nothing lasts forever in this world so rust will catch up to anything you buy made from metal. Some things are just made better than others and for that reason will last longer in the same harsh environment. If you buy something inexpensive and it lasts a long time then count yourself fortunate...

    Is Weber the better brand?

    I gave up on gas about 2 years ago and now use only charcoal and wood. My Weber 22" kettle is my grilling pride and joy. I got that awesome copper color model. Looks so cool. My bet is that if you are willing to spend the money on the Weber that it will certainly outlive and outperform the cheap...

    Brisket Rub Question

    I am aa fan of SPG for my brisket smokes. Salt and Pepper is very tough to beat but my wife and I love the flavor of garlic. Perhaps you might want to try the coffee rub on something smaller like a tri tip or chuck roast where you aren't covering so much surface. If you love it then give it a go...

    help with pork loinback ribs

    I'm going to try a method I saw from that crazy guy Jeremy on YouTube with mad scientist bbq. It is just using basic salt and pepper as the rub and then scoring the membrane instead of removing it. I just want to see how this turns out for me. Here is the link on YouTube if you are interested...

    Charcoal Smokers and Wood Chunk Amounts, Does It Really Make Sense?

    I have actually been using a smoke tube in my OKJ offset for a few cooks. Since charcoal is much easier to come by here in So Cal I’ve been using charcoal purely for heat while working with the tube for smoke. I have been very pleasantly surprised at how well this has worked. The pellets seem to...

    Is It Just Me?

    Damn right! F U C19!!! I’m super happy to hear that you are trying to just be as normal as you can be. Just an example for price fluctuations is that a local market that had tri tip for $10lb last week has it in the sale flyer this week for $4.99lb. So yeah things change all of the time. I’m...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 $350

    It was part of Walmart’s attempt to compete with Amazon during Prime Day. I wish that was in my budget right now. I would have snatched one up. I love the design of this thing. G
