    Anyone use Hormel ribs - good or bad?

    Finally went to the store today and saw some meat that wasn't an insane price as they had some hormel spare ribs on sale. Not a real "sale" for pre-covid but given how expensive everything has been I can live with finding racks for around $10 a piece. Anyway i bought 4 and threw them in the...

    Chuck roast/potatoes

    Question, are you trying to smoke the day before due to timing? I've actually found a cheater method of smoke about 4 hours and drop it in the crock pot to work best for me. Gets it done quicker and you don't lose any of the smoke flavor, plus the chuckie tends to prefer cooking in it's juices...

    Why mustard or any binder?

    From what I've read, the vinegar in the mustard is supposed to help tenderize the meat a little. As far as if it really does, who knows, but a bottle of mustard is also like $1 so I think its just been one of those ingredients that's so cheap that no one worries about not using it.

    WSM hinge review - Chargriller acorn

    Shared this over on TVWBB but figured some folks over here might appreciate it as well. A while back I had read a review on the acorn chargriller hinge fitting an 18.5" WSM for $13. Mind mind was blown at the price so I ordered it and I can attest it does in fact work. However I will say the all...

    Pulled tha Trigger!

    Damn that's a hell of a score. I really wish i could justify getting one since a nearby walmart has one for $317 which i'd still say would be a heck of a deal, but i'm pretty well locked into my WSM for now. Keep us updated on the longevity of the unit though. if they start to make them durable...

    DigiQ temp yoyo

    cant' speak to the higher models but my party q typically does similar where suddenly its 10-15 over where i wanted. This doesn't bother me as I actually start off with setting the temp about 10-15 below where i want it. about halfway through the cook ill have to finally bump the party q temp to...

    Smoking on a non-kettle charcoal grill?

    Also a WSM owner with a Guru (partyq) and i can attest to how stable they are, but my one complaint on the setup is that it still takes a solid effort to get it started, whereas the MB 560 folks have a startup that's almost as easy as setting up a gas grill. the one thing i'll say is that the...

    Weber connect yes or no?

    i too had probes go bad on my inkbird without mistreatment but I do love that thing anyway. however I think if i ended up like you with 4 bad probes then i'd be looking elsewhere as well. not sure i can recommend a weber connect though. my experience with weber tech has been high prices for the...

    Has the WSM been dethroned?

    I'm also a huge WSM fan, especially with my party q, it feels like cheating. I am certainly curious about the longevity of the MB units though, but like you said, i guess time will tell us.

    BBQGuru UltraQ Usage & Comments

    good to know. I have a party q that i got just before they discontinued. While i do have to pair it with aninkbird to monitor the temp remotely, it just plain works. I'd honestly debate an "upgrade" if they made more battery powered units, as running an extension cord every time i want to cook...

    Has the WSM been dethroned?

    I hope this can remain civil but its an interesting thing i've noticed as almost all I see exclusively is the MB 560 posts, so what do you think, has the WSM finally been dethroned?

    My 1st New kettle

    Very nice! I'm always a bit jealous of the people who get the new models. We were given a 1996 MT for free, and the thing looked like it was ready for a trash heap but a little bit of elbow grease and some new parts (thermometer shroud, handles, grates) and i got it back to like new. As such...

    Huge temperature fluctuations in my masterbuilt propane smoker

    You should try and get something like an inkbird that will chart the temps and leave it unless it spikes to 300. Id be curious if it goes 225 to 260 then down once the chips are gone or something else. I run charcoal but my WSM actually does best around 250-260 and the foods always great, so If...

    Mother's day BBQ sauce or crap!!!! I don't have any sauce sauce

    My mom always made one in a pinch out of ketchup a dash of mustard and Pepsi in a mini crock pot. I’m sure there’s more to it but it was pretty good

    Funny smelling beef still good?

    I don’t mess with food. If it smells odd toss it. Hell I had to rinse off 3 ribs today because the sauce I added to them upon reheat has crack in the lid and I could tell if it was ever sealed but I wasn’t messing around
