    London broil and brats

      I was cooking a few slabs of beef ribs a few weeks ago on the offset and threw on a bunch of hot links, along with sausages. Wood was hickory, cooking temps were low 200°sF, and the links/sausages were left on for a few hours.  They were absolutely delicious. And smoky. The guests left not a...

    what breed of hog should i get to raise?

    We always get a Duroc. Also, we always name the hog "Jasper". Every one of them.  This last weekend we went and picked up the processed meat and  netted around 190 lbs from a 280lb hog. The freezer is fulllllll.  In a few weeks we will go to the auction and buy another one to raise.

    Neighbors ever complain about smoke???

    When I was a kid, my next door neighbor had a high school-aged garage band. I must have listened to "IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA" three thousand times straight.

    Does "clean" marketing work for you?

    As for me, I would never choose to forgo an item of my choice simply because of an advertising photo. Likewise, I won't stop buying one of my favorite beers just because I don't want to play volleyball on a sandy beach. I see this, advertising, as some of the truly small stuff in life...

    Worth the Money?

    Any of the high-end roto-molded coolers are really only at an advantage if one happens to require the features that set them apart from much less expensive products. If you are going camping and truly need a cooler to keep food intended to be used on days five-eight, for instance, they are worth...

    Worcestershire sauce users/lovers

    I have just been reading a cooking book authored by a gentleman in the U.K. and had noticed the use of Henderson's in the recipes, along with bottles of the stuff visible in some of the photos. I haven't checked yet but have been hoping to find some over here.

    General Safety Around the Smoker

    Gregor, A couple of years ago I had the same problem. One night, a couple of friends and I were hanging out near the smoker, with our only light coming from a lantern placed on a low tree limb, when a very large and aggressive raccoon kept approaching from the shadows, wanting both the grease...

    Rookie question #1

      What constitutes a "large" piece of wood is relative: throw a 30 pound, eight-inch dia. log on top of a lit candle and a blazing log-on-fire will not ensue. The result will be a long-smoldering acrid white smoke. Throw that same log into a good sized offset that already has about 30 pounds of...

    First time Brisket

    The combined point and flat, together make up what any butcher should recognize as a "packer," or a "full packer," which is the same thing. My first one, done over the last New Years holiday, was a 17lb packer: it turned out so well that folks  actually thought I knew what I was doing. As it...

    Brisket question...

    They can stall anywhere within a broad range of temperature. It's just that most will fall around the 160s°F. I had one that blasted right up to around 189°F before taking a nap for a few hours.

    top vents for wsm vs bge

    When cooking at low-ish temperatures, I will use the top vent to perform the final dialing-in of a temp. BGEs cooking in the lower ranges are not like some other types of cookers, such as an offset style. With very little fire going on in the fire box, there is no powerful draft, so closing the...

    Pellet Smokers in Competitions - Your opinion

    Actually, I prefer using my ceramic cookers and the horizontal off-set. They just seem to be a more grassroots method of cooking, which I enjoy when afforded the time required to play with them. And the only thing requiring an electric cord during their use is the LooftLighter, which is just...

     Yoder YS640. It works very, very well if the only object of the enterprise is to produce delicious foods.

    Pellet Smokers in Competitions - Your opinion

     Not to put too fine a point on it, but....  -The football analogy was was intended only to illustrate how people have, in the past,  misconstrued "the rules" as preventing an action which was indeed allowable. For some time after that first pass there were those who still considered it to be...
