    Webber Smokey Mountain grill or the Egg

    Ice, The only problem is that you need a Lang and a WSM! No, if I part with the Lang, my wife will think I'm of my rocker!

    Webber Smokey Mountain grill or the Egg

    That is where the egg, or kamado style really shines. Its amazing how a really small fire can keep the smoker at temp for a really long time. Probably 50% more effecient than a WSM, but at a cost in size and weight. You just have to decide which features are more important to you personally...

    Webber Smokey Mountain grill or the Egg

    I don't have either, but have cooked on both. In my personal oppinion, the biggest difference outside of price is portability. The egg is pretty much stationary on the back deck, while the WSM is light enough to take anywhere. For the money, its hard to beat the WSM. Just check out...

    Cornish Hens Beer can style

    Those hens look great! The only problem is that my clumsy self would have knocked them over already! I like the idea of using the small juice cans or soft drinks.

    Boston Butt-Pulled Pork

    Tommy, I have a Lang, which is very much like yours. I usually will use all splits, but sometimes I will resort to using charcoal for a coal bed. When I'm using just wood, I'll light the fire with my brush burner, but sometimes its not around, or I don't have time to mess with building a coal...

    3-2-1 Method Questions....

    Another trick that I use on occasion is that when I have the time, I will cook ribs about 3/4 of the way done, then remove and freeze. Then when I'm hungry for ribs, I'll defrost them and place them on the grill for about an hour wrapped, then sauce and finish over high heat. Almost as good as...

    3-2-1 Method Questions....

    The only problem, it that even with the vinegar and salt, you still lose a lot of flavor. Its just hard to rush perfection! ;)

    3-2-1 Method Questions....

    The key to nice tender ribs is low and slow. Another method would be to leave in your oven warmer overnight (at about 150 degrees), and finish on the grill. Also, my neighbor will preheat his oven to 350 degrees, put the ribs in, turn off the stove, and go to bed. And lastly, if you have to...

    Best place to get BBQ Wood?

    There is a plenty of apple, cherry, and oak in Northern Alabama. Depending on the quantity you want, you could take a saturday morning off and drive a couple of hundred miles north and check out the firewood dealers. I usually will ask around at local bbq resaurants, as fellow cooks love to...

    3-2-1 Method Questions....

    Use baby backs, but you would still be pushing it in 4 hours. I would probably smoke for 3 hours, sauce and finish on the grill.

    Boston Butt-Pulled Pork

    Tommy, if I'm wrong please correct me, but it looks like you have a Klose offset smoker. It might be easier for you to use standard charcoal (Briqs or lump) to build a bed of coals, and use splits for the rest of the smoke. Also, there is a lot of great tips to help you with your butt. I love...

    Newbie with questions

    Bat, You can do both, or either. I have a charcoal basket for smokes in my BSKD for when I want extended burns without a lot of work. I use chunks, or small splits for flavor, but I usually warm them on the top of the firebox to aid in cleaner combustion. The key to sweet blue is to start...

    Picture of my first smoked ribs

    Try adding some brown or raw sugar to your rubs, as it will complement the other spices. The ribs look great! I bet your hooked now!

    Simmering Ribs

    Parboiling or simmering is what you use when you cannot cook low and slow. There are several methods that you can use, like the 3-2-1 method, that will give the results that you want, but with much more flavor. I have boiled my ribs in the past, but now have seen the light!
