    30 vs 40 MES, Help me decide!

    I saw the 30 for the first time today.  It looked like a toy beside the 40.  I have two 40s.

    WSM 22.5" question

    Thanks for the reminder!  I called last night and I need to put the lid on a glass or 100% flat surface to see if it is warped.  If not then the center section is.  Either way, they will replace the part that is defective.  I almost forgot to do the test.

    Canjun Bandit Rotisserie/22 WSM

    They sell a nice basket but it is only 2" high, if I recall correctly.  I want something that is about 6-8" tall/deep for chicken legs.   Back in the day, my parents had a basket attachment that we used for legs.

    Canjun Bandit Rotisserie/22 WSM

    The Webber version does not allow the lid to be closed unless you want it precariously sitting on the lip.  Even then it won't balance well.  Is this the case with the Bandit or can the lid close, with the bandit, as it would without? Also, does anybody have a coupon code for Cajun?

    Weber 2290 22-1/2-Inch Charcoal Kettle Rotisserie

    By seal, I meant that the lid simply sits on the ring and has no way of keeping itself on the ring, without the rotisserie, let alone with it running.  I'd need clamps to keep in sitting on the ring.

    WSM 22.5" question

    Do you have to apply a lot of force to get the lid seated on the ring as it is supposed to?

    WSM 22.5" question

    The lid on my 22.5" does not fit well.  I can get it on the smoker, but I have to practically stand on the lid to get a seal.  Is this normal?  My 18" does not have this issue.  If there weren't a second handle, on the side of the lid, I wouldn't be able to get it on and off.

    Weber 2290 22-1/2-Inch Charcoal Kettle Rotisserie

    Yeah, so I bought this instead of the Cajun Bandit because of the price.  Well, I tried to use it for the first time yesterday, but there was no way to keep the lid on the ring.  There is no lip, no latch, nothing to secure the lid.  I can't even balance the lid on the ring; it just falls on its...

    “CASE” Pork Roll Sammies

    I lived in the Poconos for 6ish years, in the Water Gap, which is one mile from NJ on Route 80.  That is two big things I miss, that and the bagels.  They also had some AMAZING ethnic foods that were opening at a feverish pace, and delis of course.  It was/is an extension of NYC and NJ

    My Andouille Recipe

    I was looking at my pantry today, and I saw/wondered when I would use my Prague Powder #1.  Now I know.

    To brine or not to bring

    I picked up another about the same size so I'm doing dueling chickens, one in the brine and one like I usually smoke them.  I'll brine it tomorrow and smoke it Sunday because I'll be chowing down on beef ribs tomorrow.

    Gone Mobile

    That looks like a great build.  I love the idea of making it mobile.

    “CASE” Pork Roll Sammies

    Grilled, yellow mustard, cheese, and raw onion is how I like mine.  On a hard roll of course.  The raw onion sells it.

    Flavors

    In my first year of instructing, I got a French mother and daughter that spoke almost no English.  I had to teach them using gestures, examples, and motions.  After an hour both could ski down the beginner slope quite well.  Usually, I taught up to age 10.

    To brine or not to bring

    I am going to do my first rotisserie chicken on my WSM 22".  It is my first chicken on charcoal.  I only brined my birds once but do people recommend it?  If so what do you use?  The one time I did it I used a purchased mix from a site that people were raving about a few years ago.  I don't...

    New Anova

    Honey is an amazing thing.  Here is the price history.  It is an extension for Chrome (maybe others too) and it allows you to put stuff on a list and they will follow the price for you. https://www.joinhoney.com/shop/amazon/p/B00UKPBXM4/Anova-Culinary-Bluetooth-Sous-Vide-Preci?latest_price=109 ...

    New Anova

    First off thanks for posting this because it is another gadget I don't need!!!   On the other hand, I bought one so thanks for a heads-up!  How can you pass it up at $69?  It will be nice for camping or for dual cooks with my normal Anova. Their pricing is great.  You can get one for $69 or...

    Let's talk rabbits

    I have a rabbit in the freezer, and I'm not sure what I want to do with it.  My first thought was smoking, following xjcamaro, but then burgers got in my head.  I was also toying with sous vide.  I only have one rabbit, but I can probably get more.  What about cooking whole on a spit in my WSM?

    Beef Bacon

    I recall seeing that and wanting to try it.  You don't have pictures of it having been cooked.  Is the texture similar to bacon?  How does it fry?  I assume you need oil so it doesn't stick since there is so little fat?

    Filet Mignon in my SV Supreme Oven

    I agree.  Next time I will use a thinner steak.
