    A nice compliment

    Smoked some chicken drums this weekend, and because my girlfriend wanted to go relatively healthy, I decided to remove the skin. I am also a bit low on propane, so didn't know if I would be able to grill them after smoking to crisp the skin. I had two packs of 20 drums each, and needed some...

    GOSM Mods Finished!!!!!!!!!

    Looks great. Would love to do the shelf, especially since I do not have any kind of table or anything near my smoker. Where did you get the needle valve and how does it work? I would really like to be able to take more control over the temp. Is it easy to put in? I just picked up a gas tank...

    BB's on the grill, Q-View!

    I only wish. Unfortunately she hates fish. I may be able to get her to try salmon since she had a btie of mine when we were at a restaurant recently and said she thought it was ok, but I don't exactly trust that answer.

    BB's on the grill, Q-View!

    My girl said the same thing, nothing but healthy this weekend. After my Memorial Day smoke and a week of leftovers, I guess I can understand. My chicken drumsticks that I made for the party were a big hit, but I just could not get the skin to be crispy the way I wanted. Think I might smoke...

    BB's on the grill, Q-View!

    Those look fantastic. I can almost taste them from here.

    best beer for BBQ

    Got a chance to try Kiltlifter last year when I was working out in N Cal. Very fine brew. Also like their Hopsickle Triple. Might be going back out that way soon and looking forward to some of those brews.

    best beer for BBQ

    Have to agree on both, and luckily both are readily available in my area. I like the nice sharp bite the Smutty IPA has. I do find both to be a little heavy though at times. My usual is Harpoon IPA.

    Big smoke this weekend, one question though...

    I am a bit nervous as only a very select few people have ever tasted my Q. Even my parents who I do not see very often are going to be there. When I was a kid, my mother used to make ribs once in a while but never on a smoker. I never liked them much but my father always said they were great...

    Big smoke this weekend, one question though...

    Well, just got a bigger list of people coming over for the weekend. The racks of ribs is definitely going to be 9 now, and looks like I need to make a x4 recipe of the baked beans. I am thinking of doing these in two batches, one with the peppers and one without to suit all palates. I will be...

    Big Weekend Smoke Coming Up

    I am doing my first big smoke this weekend as well, and will be smoking for two days. I will hopefully be providing Q-View as well. Look forward to seeing yours and hope it all comes out well.

    Jeff's QUE Sauce Recipe

    No problem. It really makes for an interesting flavor. When I did it I did not have any bourbon in the house, so I ended up using (and don't kill me for using such good whiskey for cooking) a little bit of Bushmills. I have made other sauces using bourbon and those always come out pretty tasty

    Big smoke this weekend, one question though...

    Thanks Mike. I already plan on brining as I have had drumsticks come out a bit on the dry side before. I will probably also smoke them at a higher temp. What about this??? Would it be better to smoke them to finished temp, refrigerate them overnight, then reheat them quickly on the grill to...

    Big smoke this weekend, one question though...

    Why chill it fast and how? Should I put it in the freezer immediately? Would it be better to grill it right away to crisp the skin then refrigerate and warm them up the next day? Thanks for the response.

    Jeff's QUE Sauce Recipe

    I have made his sauce three times since buying it and have modified it twice. The recipe as stated is incredible, but I have adjusted it a few timed for different flavors on different things. I have not tried cider vinegar yet, but adding a 1/4 cup of whiskey made this recipe really...

    Big smoke this weekend, one question though...

    I am smoking a variety of things for a good size party this coming weekend. We are doing a Memorial Day/Birthday celebration and I have decided to spread good cheer with some good Q. Some people will be bringing non-smoked items, but I will be doing all of the items on the menu below. Pulled...

    Hmm, where did I go wrong.

    Well, thanks for all of the suggestions. It felt awful having to throw all of that meat out as I did not have the energy to keep going with it. I will, however, be trying it again in the future and hopefully with better results. Now I am focusing on the big smoking session for this weekend, or...

    Hmm, where did I go wrong.

    Tested my thermometers about 2 weeks ago so think they are ok. I also formed the meatloaf at about 1.5 inch thick. I will re-test the thermometers before next weeks smoke since that one I am feeding several friends and family.

    Hmm, where did I go wrong.

    Decided to try the smoked meatloaf recipe from this site this weekend, and it failed miserably. I did all the ingredients exactly as stated in the recipe and smoked it using hickory until the center was 160*. The outer edges were good and tasty, but after about 3/4 inch in it was still gooey...

    Ever done "Hawg Wings" aka "Pig Wings" aka "Pork Shanks"

    After finally getting my new GOSM, I decided to do a search (not even on this site) for Hawg Wings and saw this thread. I first tried Hawg Wings a few years ago at the New England BBQ Championships. For those in the New England area who do not know, the Harpoon Brewery (both the one in Boston...

    Famous Dave's BBQ Sauce

    I like all of the ones mentioned here that I can get my hands on. Also of course like Jeff's sauce which I made for the first time. The best sauce I have ever had I got at the New England BBQ Championships in Vermont. I have only ever found it in one other store around where I live and they...
