    WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING, GRILLING, OR COOKING FOR MEMORIAL DAY. PLEASE POST YOUR PICS

    The chicken cooked much quicker than expected. The pit was running around 230-235: not that hot for chicken quarters. IT was around 167...checked a few pieces to see if I happened to get a "hot" one, but they were all about the same. I should have started them later! Anyway, here's a picture...

    WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING, GRILLING, OR COOKING FOR MEMORIAL DAY. PLEASE POST YOUR PICS

    It's been extremely windy here in north central MD. Unusually cold, too: had to use the pellet stove to get the chill out of the house yesterday and this morning. Getting warmer now, but still windy. Used the kettle grill the last two days, and finally got the WSM out today. Being so windy, I'm...

    Smoking my first chuckie

    Thanks for the good advice, Hambone...I still need to decide where the permanent location will be. We have a brick patio, but I'm thinking of setting up another area in the yard for my Webers. Not too much room, though, as I have a lot of trees. Kat: You had enough snow in Alabama to make...

    Smoking my first chuckie

    Thanks, Hambone. I see you're a Calvin and Hobbes fan. One of the best cartoon strips ever, if not THE best! I haven't gotten around to making my WSM more portable yet, but I plan to in the future. It's always great to see how others have done theirs. Right now, I keep it in the garage, and...

    Smoking my first chuckie

    Chuck roast looks great, but being a WSM owner, I'm also interested in your cart. Can you show a picture without the bag of charcoal in front? And...how did you make it?

    I like the symmetry in the first picture: looks like you were having some fun with it. The diagonal weave looks cool, too!

    Happy Mothers Day

    SS: Actually, the crab claw parts were "more bark than bite" (to make a pun out of an old phrase), so if you like bark, they were great! But, if you like the softer meat, then you'd be disappointed. I like both, so I was happy, but if I'm making a big sammy and not just snacking, I like the...

    Happy Mothers Day

    Well, if anyone checks this thread, I found out that the hybrid probe wasn't bad after all. Turns out that there's a known issue about the newer Maverick probes: you might think they're plugged all the way in, but they're not. You really have to pop this baby in all the way. Supposedly, they're...

    Happy Mothers Day

    Thanks! Crab claws...interesting. Where I'm from, not too far from the Chesapeake, I'm sure there will be a lot of Moms around here eating crabs today! The bone-in half in the back is actually larger. The camera angle sure makes it look otherwise. I'm thinking that the long piece hanging...

    Happy Mothers Day

    Here's a Q-view before foiling. Please don't laugh too hard at the poor butcher job I did cutting them in half! I realize now that I should have taken the picture from the opposite side of the smoker. The straight probe in front is the hybrid, that doesn't seem to work. I checked the halves...

    Happy Mothers Day

    Thanks, Smoke Slinger. At least it's a bit of a win-win: she gets some extra spending money, and I don't have all of the "honey-do's" that I'd get if she was home. (She'll laugh when I show her this!) Looks like they just hit the plateau...sitting at 156 for a while now (lower than I expected)...

    Happy Mothers Day

    Happy Mother's Day! Unfortuantely, my wife has to work today, (poor "Mama"   ) but I've got a pork butt smoking right now. I cut it in half: wasn't able to start it last night. This is my first attempt at pork butt on the WSM, and it's very windy today. So far, so good, though!

    First smoke with 22.5" WSM...St. Louis Style Ribs

    Great lookin' ribs! I'd be curious to see what you think about the WSM vs. the MES (maybe after a few times with your WSM)...mostly regarding the taste of the final product. I was using a Weber kettle for indirect smoking (very limiting in sizes of meat you can use, constantly adding charcoal...

    Spare ribs and rib tips

    JJ: I'll definitely keep the PM in mind! Thanks again. Suie: The fishing was Saturday, and the smoking was Sunday. Unfortunately, there's not enough time to do both the same day: I fish at a water supply reservoir, and I have to trailer my boat back and forth, so we stay out on the water for a...

    Spare ribs and rib tips

    Suie/JJ: If you're still keeping an eye on this thread, I did go fishing Saturday (not the best fishing day, but great father/son time), and also did ribs again today (Sunday). I used JJ's rub recipe this time almost as posted. I still couldn't find Hungarian paprika, so I got some sweet smoked...

    Spare ribs and rib tips

    JJ: Thanks for the info! Your rub is pretty similar to what I used, but the ratios are different. I have everything you list on hand (except the Sweet Hungarian), but the recipe I found used sea salt instead of kosher, and brown sugar instead of Turbinado. It did not use Allspice, nor Chili...

    Spare ribs and rib tips

    Hmmm....now that I caught Demosthenes9's post, maybe I'll foil a little less than two hours as well next time.
