    Kingsford with Hickory

    Good morning everyone, Don't know if anyone has seen this stuff yet but here in the Atlanta area our Kroger grocery store has Kingsford with hickory bits for $5.99/17# bag. I tried it yesterday for some bb ribs with hickory chucks added and I like the stuff. Just thought I'd give anyone who...

    Brisket Cook TIme

    Well, my brisket horror story happened this weekend. I had a 9.5# packer and had to separate the point from the flat to fit on my WSM. Started it about 10:45 Saturday night planning to have it for early dinner Sunday. I had trouble keeping the temp down on the WSM with all the lower vents...

    Looooooong butt

    This weekend I had my strangest smoke yet. I put an 8.54 pound butt on my WSM at 10 pm Saturday night with the intention of a cook finishing not much later than 16 hours later at 2pm Sunday (2hrs per pound tops...). Roughly 10am the temp hit 162 with the grate temp hovering between 215 & 230...

    My First Fattys On! Q-View!

    Somehow I am out of sausage.... GOTTA go to the store now. That was a good looking, and I'm sure, great tasting, fatty.

    A (very, I'm sure) Silly Question

    Yep. I start by "slathering" the exposed side of the meat and the sides with regular mustard , applying the rub to the exposed meat, rather gently massaging the spices into meat, flipping the meat and repeating the process on the other side, doing the sides again. Do I not have the right...

    Let's help each other out......

    Fantastic idea. Here in Atlanta Ingle's Supermarket has bone in Butts on sale for $.98 per pound. Puttin' an 8.54 pounder on tonight as a matter of fact!!!

    A (very, I'm sure) Silly Question

    I use the mustard nearly every time. I think that may be a contributing factor... Thanks for the advise everyone.

    A (very, I'm sure) Silly Question

    When I apply rub to a cut of meat I can't help but have a good portion of the rub stick to my hand and clump up, usually leaving that part unuseable. I don't actually "rub", I massage it into the meat. Do any of y'all have any tricks of the trade you'd care to share? I know this is minor in...

    Greetings from St. Louis

    Greetings. "Freedom" Fries? I know that's just another, politically inspired, name for French Fries, but I thought that term went out of vogue several years ago. Good luck with your business.

    bradford pear ????

    We have lots of Bradford Pears here in the Atlanta area and they stink something awful when in bloom. Never tried smoking with them just because of that...

    What happened to cooking with wood?

    I started with a fairly inexpensive offset smoker last year that I learned to cook on real well on (at least my feasters said so). I moved to a WSM which I love due to the ease of temp control and use either lump or charcoal with chunks. I live in Georgia and have access to lots of different...

    Dumb Dog

    Yeah, that wasn't right. She'll get some good pork tonight to show my regret.

    Dumb Dog

    Thanks y'all. It is going to be fine. As you all know the butt is very forgiving. I posted in the heat of the moment and I had the tools (not necessarily the knowledge, though) to get through. Thank you all for the input and putting up with my rant.

    Dumb Dog

    My dumb dog knocked my Maverick ET-7 dual probe transmitter off of the table it was on with her tail and now it quit working. This happened 3 hours into smoking a 5.25 butt. I tried everything I could think of to make it work again, but it's dead. The butt was for a little work party tomorrow...

    Today's Turkey

    No pics of mine, but is it unusual for a 13.5 pounder to be done in about 2 hours at 350 degrees? I put the probes in different spots and it came back the same each time. Very little wind and air temps about 60 degrees.

    Free wood!

    I just hit the jackpot this past weekend as well... My wife informed me that she wants to replace two of the peach trees we have in our backyard. So, all I have to do is cut them down and I'll have smokin' wood for next year and probably the year after that, too..... I'm trying to get her...

    Crape Myrtle

    It can be grown as a bush, but here in Georgia it is commonly used as a multi-trunked tree that will grow to 20 feet and more. They are very nice ornamental trees that look great in the heat of summer. I still have 4 but one was in a bad spot and had to go. I just hate seeing wood go to...
