Choosing a new smoker
I have the Char Griller King Griller Kamado. I was also looking at going pellet when I got it, but I was too much of a tinkerer and also wanted to have the flexibility of searing which pushed me to get the Kamado. Since getting it I have also purchased the PartyQ temperature control system. I’m...- bigdlu75

Total Fail on Spares
Well finally had time to do another run, and once again, this forum has served as a great resource for helping me improve my BBQ. I let it go the first three hours without opening the lid. I sprayed at that point with warm apple juice. Then at a little over four hours I tested for doneness using... -

Total Fail on Spares
Thanks Al! I remembered noticing that in your Perfect Ribs post and asking about that but totally forgot, so I appreciate the tip. -
Total Fail on Spares
Yeah that's on my to-do list, but I really struggle to take a decent temperature with my probe and I've heard from many people that Ribs probe really inconsistently, so I think I'd struggle following that recipe. When I pulled my ribs yesterday they were probing at 175, and then the same spot an... -
Total Fail on Spares
So yesterday I had a rack of ribs sitting around that needed to be smoked. I've been doing spares with the 3-2-1 for awhile with many successful cooks. Yesterday I decided I wanted to try a no wrap cook just to try something different. The ribs I ended up eating were way underdone and tough. I... -
First run at Beef Ribs
Wow...never would I have imagined my wife and I preferring Beef Ribs to Pork Ribs. Well...we still don't, but we had to think long and hard about it, and that says a lot. The cook went pretty well. I decided to pull and wrap in only what had collected in the drip pan. It took me about two more... -

First run at Beef Ribs
Got a good deal on some Beef Back Ribs at a local store and it prompted me to give them a shot after drooling over other posts I've seen on here. Pulled the membrane, rubbed with W-sauce, and then started with a light dusting of SPOG and then added another light layer of Jeff's rub. Threw... -

New guy from WI
Welcome Ron! Great to have more people from WI. I know you will find this forum to be an excellent source of knowledge and support. -
Pork should dragging on...
Wrapping the Butts will likely speed up cook time. It also can make the meet a little more tender especially when wrapped with Apple Juice or some other liquid with the wrap. The big negative is you won't get as nice of a bark with wrapping. Some will swear by Butchers paper for keeping the... -
First attempt at Spatchcock and PartyQ
I may have been wrong but I thought it said 9lb. It was the biggest bird at the store I know that. I cooked on my Char-Griller Akorn today. Overall I was pleased with the PartyQ. It held about 9* over what my Vinsic was reading the whole time. I thought they were pretty close together but... -

First attempt at Spatchcock and PartyQ
I feel like I've been hearing a lot about this lately, and given the moratorium on Pork/Brisket that my wife has given me until we return from our trip to KC, I figured this gave me a good excuse to fire up the smoker. Brined the 9lb bird in TIp's brine. After 6 hours in that I pulled it off...
