    Sale today!

    So here in Billings, Albertson's has a sale this week on beef roasts. I've been waiting for chuck roast to go on sale. It's been $3.49/lb for quite a while, but this week there are various types on sale for $1.99/lb. My question is which of these three is best for smoking low and slow: 1. 7...

    Eating Charcoal

    Hello and thanks for serving our country. Most folks around here use something known as the 3-2-1 (or a variation thereof) method for cooking ribs. It involves wrapping the ribs in foil with some liquid for a couple hours in the middle of the cooking process to braise the meat (further...

    Does anyone have one of the Kingsford kettles?

    Does anyone have the Ranch Kettle? I can't imagine ever needing it unless I started catering family reunions or something, but the Tim the Toolman part of me would sure love to have it in the stable just for the helluvit!

    Does anyone have one of the Kingsford kettles?

    I'd love to get the big one or even the Performer, but I can't really justify it. Then again, if I was going to spend that much money this time around, I'd probably go for the Smokey Mountain Cooker. So many wants and so little money!!!

    Does anyone have one of the Kingsford kettles?

    Thanks. I'll try both those suggestions. No reason to be in any hurry right now, cept that I have the bug!

    Does anyone have one of the Kingsford kettles?

    I'm in the market for a new kettle grill. I see that Home Depot here has the 18.5" Kingsford (made by Masterbuilt) for $40. Does anyone have any experience with this make? I've found some reviews online that were positive, but I trust this crowd more. Let me know your thoughts. I'm generally...

    Lost My Premier Membership Status ?

    Now that you mention it . . . I guess I never noticed when it was reset. Color me oblivious. Thanks

    Lost My Premier Membership Status ?

    This happened to me as well, since I joined (and purchased the premier membership) during the "lost" period. How do I PM Brian specifically? Thanks!

    Protective cover for the MasterBuilt Model #20070508 ?

    If you look closely at the drawing with the dimensions on it (near the bottom of the page), this cover appears to be custom made for a MES . . . I only wish they'd make one tall enough to cover my mounting cabinet as well! http://www.the-cover-store.com/item_...=Grill%2BBrand

    Smoke Pistol

    Smoke Daddy is what the other generator is called BTW. Do a search and you'll find some pretty good posts on it and the Pistol.

    Smoke Daddy Smoke Generator - Installed

    DaveNH - Why the smoke generator instead of just feeding chips into your MES? I could understand using it to cold smoke, but I'm just curious why otherwise? Thanks!

    gas or elec.?

    The MES is insulated so well that the air temperature doesn't really affect the temperature in the chamber (except for when the door is open of course). I have smoked with my MES in -15 degree temps and had no problem getting 275 degrees. Of course, I couldn't get her started until I warmed up...

    First MES Smoke over. May need some advice!

    My guess is it was just in there too long, boiling in it's own juices. I did a 7-lb butt in my MES two weekends ago and it only took about 10 hours. Turned out wonderful. Very moist and flavorful. I set it at 230 and let it roll, foiled at 165, left the temp the same, turned out great. I...

    Smoke Pistol

    I have a smoke pistol. I used it with a Brinkmann gas grill, but it didn't work very well because the grill wasn't designed for proper air flow. I prolly can't recommend the pistol in general, because mine was pretty poorly made, the cartridges don't always stay lit, and the cartridges are...

    General question on using mustard as a sticking agent for rubs . . .

    I actually didn't think there was much of a "bark" on the butt I did with the mustard. Again, I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out in general. The flavor was excellent and the meat was moist and tender, but there wasn't much of a crust on it. Darrin - I had wondered about the...

    Daytona -- Injected Butt?

    Same story with Costco (just like Sam's). They have cryopacked butt in 12-16 lb packages (two pieces) for $1.38/lb. Good meat, not injected. What do you pay per lb at your butcher?

    General meat pricing(not on sale) - what is a good deal?

    Here in Billings, you can get a pair of very nice 7-lb buts cryopacked for $1.39/lb at Costco. Not a sale price. Just their price right now. They're not enhanced with a solution. Nice pieces of meat (not that I'm an expert). Spares at Costco are @1.99. I've always found that the quality of...

    Brats in the smoker

    Irish, While I've got you here . . . I'm just guessing, but you've probably smoked a brick of cheese or two in your day. I've done Cheddar and Colby-Jack with hickory and apple wood. This weekend I want to smoke some mozza, as smoked string cheese is one of my favorite things in the world...
