    Webber kettle section?

    I've said this in other threads: My very first learning of smoking was with a Weber 18, and chicken. I ran out of charcoal and used windfall maple wood which was a campfire unless I controlled the air flow. Then I got nice mellow smoke.

    Webber kettle section?

    A Weber section could get a lot of discussion since many people here run them. I have a 22 (date code 1990).

    Grinder Plates

    I have a chop-rite #10 and a kitchen aid. Have you tried double-grinding? Everything goes through the coarse plate first, then through the finer plate. It's possible to also include something like onion or parsley or pepper, and let that all grind/mix together. It would depend on what you're...

    What's everyone got going on the smoker for Mother's Day?

    I don't know yet, because this weekend will be taken up with a family visit, sometime. Two of Linda's kids that I've never met before will be visiting from California, possibly along with other people, plus some other kids from around here. Linda has a very complicated family tree. Anyway I'm...

    Welcome to the board! Yes there is much information to share here. Try the Search to look up any particular subject, such as whatever model of smoker you are using. I'm burning splits in a Masterbuilt offset, smoked a whole chicken yesterday.

    The X-Fire Grill

    If you plan to make more of these, how about some equivalent of a VIN or serial number? Maybe some little plaque saying who made it and when.

    The X-Fire Grill

    Oh for the heck of it I'll be a spoiler. That rig won't really develop its own character until those firebricks are blackened from experience. Seriously, though, what do you expect the service life to be? 20 or 50 or more years? It seems the firebricks are the weakest part of the design but...

    Lookie at what my better 1/2 brought home for me

    I grew ghosts for my first time last year and I hope to grow them again. Never tried a Reaper. Habaneros are my usual favorites.

    Authentic Pork Carnitas/Carnitas de cerdo autentico

    We need to charter a tour bus to go grocery shopping in Miami. Make sure it has a trailer hitch to pull a smoker. Grab something spiky out of the produce department, and use it to kill whatever is crawling out of the fish case. That's fresh.

    FISH TACOS

    Here in central Ohio, there was no such thing as any seafood made in any Mexican style. I thought that was strange, because Mexico has seashores and rivers and lakes. Now things are better around here, and there are some good fish tacos.

    Authentic Pork Carnitas/Carnitas de cerdo autentico

    Some threads on this board make me want to lick my screen while I groan. Party on, Dude. That marinade seems like you're making your own Mojo Criollo, bitter citrus with a lot of garlic. I'm accustomed to it being made from sour oranges but your orange/lime combination is a close...

    Reapers (round 4)

    I grew ghosts for the first time last year, and I want to grow them again. Habaneros are my favorite peppers but I like the way some ghost powder can be like adding a solid propellant rocket booster to a recipe.
