    Only at the bank

    A Scotsman, a lesbian and a stallion walk into a bar. The bartender says, is this a joke?

    Sometimes you just can’t beat charcoal.

    When a friend showed me grilled chicken marinated in Italian dressing, I was amazed. Anyone who hasn't tried it should check it out.

    smoking in/with pans??

    It would depend on what meat you are cooking and how much fat it will release, along with whatever sauce or marinade, etc. Putting the meat in a pan will not prevent the smoke smoke flavor, but it can capture grease and keep your rig cleaner. Plus, in some situations, you can use the pan...

    East TN Sunday gumbo

    Anyway I do like to make stock from shrimp shells that others would throw away. I had a video of that event on Vimeo but darn if I can find it now. they don't seem to have any Search feature like youtube. It was a good time, maybe 50 people or so, big boiling kettles of crayfish, shrimp...

    Embers charcoal

    Good information here. I recently loaded up on that Embers deal at Home Depot. (I was working there this time last year.) The funny thing with me is, I'm not driving these days so I show up at the store pulling a garden wagon. Load that thing with bundles of charcoal, and roll the 3/4 mile...

    East TN Sunday gumbo

    Oh what the heck, how about a thread derail ... there is the sex practice of "shrimping" which is sucking toes. Not my thing.

    East TN Sunday gumbo

    You would have liked the time they had a shrimp boil. There were some ladies shelling buckets of shrimp, and I asked if I could have some of the shells. I went across the parking lot and got my sister's big honking Le Creuset stock pot, loaded up, and made a huge batch of shrimp stock...

    East TN Sunday gumbo

    My sister lived in Patterson Louisiana for a while. Someone showed her the method to make a roux, and as she described it to me, cook it until you are CERTAIN that you've cooked it too much. It should be darkly toasted, as you show. Do you have any shrimp farming in TN? That's starting to...

    Nexgrill Offset smoker

    You just need some practice with it. Try modest stuff like chicken pieces to get the hang of it. Offsets do want a lot of attention. You'll get to know each other.

    Fire management

    Yeah sometimes commercial charcoal can be like dog food; you don't know exactly what's in it. That's one nice thing about a stick burner, you can go gather actual sticks/logs etc., and then you know exactly what is going into your fire.

    peppery white bbq sauce

    This is another BBQ sauce that you never see in Ohio. I plan to make some chicken salad with chicken that I grilled yesterday, and I might try something like this as a dressing BTW for anyone who hasn't tried it, grill chicken that has been marinated in ordinary Italian salad dressing.

    Fire management

    Yes, you can. I'm running a Masterbuilt offset that's a bit smaller than yours, but just big enough that I can run an open fire in the firebox. Things tend to run hot and fast that way. You can burn any combination of wood and charcoal. You just need to tinker and experiment and find what you...

    Long time reader - first time poster

    I still need to watch someone run a pellet grill. I have no firsthand experience with them. I'm running an offset and a Weber 22.

    Hello from Washington

    Welcome to the board! Yeah, what smoker? Many here suggest starting out with chicken pieces since that's a fast and inexpensive way to learn the characteristics your rig. One way or another, you are going to have some good times and good eats.

    Vinegar based sauces - what is your favorite recipe?

    I rarely see a Carolina vinegar sauce here in Ohio but I'm curious so I'll make the one above. I just need to get some brown sugar. I've started tinkering with making my own bbq sauces. ("bbq" fails the board spell-check. Shame!) I've been starting from plain tomato sauce, then sweetening...
