    Home Depot Kingsford Charcoal Sale

    Wish they would have done the 2x20lb sale, but this will do.  Picked up 3 twin packs over Memorial weekend, but will likely pick up 15-20 twin packs now.

    Sorry, but the bolded is not correct.  The Lowe's deal comes in at 25.0 cents per pound.  The Home Depot deal comes in at 21.2 cents per pound.

    Calibrating Your Thermometer and the Boiling Point of Water

    I recently got the ET-732 for a gift and it seemed to be reading about 10-15 degrees hotter than my smoker.  I haven't done the boiling point check yet, but I plan to.

    Need to find mod parts for ECB!

    If it's an ECB, the 18" one will be too big as well.  I've heard of people using the grate from Weber's little smokey joe though. I used expanded metal bought at home depot.  was kind of a pain to cut it down, but it worked grate (pun and spelling intended).

    Turkey Brine Recipe

    This seems like less salt than most brine recipes that I've seen.  Is this because of the Montreal Chicken seasoning added which has salt in it itself?

    Advice on temp and times for whole birds

    Sorry, forgot to come back and post the results.  Birds took 3.5 hours.  I started em at 9 and had em off at 12:30.  I foiled em, wrapped em in towels, and threw them in the cooler.  At about 2, we took them out and started pulling them, doing my 4 first. We did his 4 last.  He overcooked and...

    Advice on temp and times for whole birds

    I'll check out the link now.  I don't think I'll have the room to do that many birds if they are all spatchcocked.

    Advice on temp and times for whole birds

    Gonna help a buddy out and smoke about 4-5 whole birds for him for a party.  He said he is gonna shoot for 5# birds.  My questions to the masses that have done birds before are these: 1)  What temps do you cook your birds at? 2)  How long should I estimate based on the temp given in #1? I've...

    Baby Back Basics?

    Lots of good replies so far.  I'll throw my 2 cents in. Spritzing is a personal choice.  I do with apple juice and captain morgan. Foiling is also a choice.  I used to, but didn't want the fall-of-the-bone that the foiling was giving me.  My last 2 rib smokes I have done no foil and loved em...

    Smoking 3 butts in an ECB

    I would suggest putting the 8lb one on the bottom rack and the two 5lb ones on the top rack.  Better chance that the 5lb ones get to the pulling temp first and it will be easier if they are on the top rack.
