    Wings for the big game.. Brine, rub, or a combination of both?

    Thanks all.. @dirtsailor2003 I definitely have read that Scarbelly recipe a few times... I've never injected before (yep, I'm a relative newbie), but I definitely see it in my future I've also read this thread started by @louballs that got me thinking about the red pepper and vinegar brine to...

    Wings for the big game.. Brine, rub, or a combination of both?

    I have been reading for hours and the number of recipes astounds me! A quick question though... Are there any potential problems to brining fora couple hours, then patting dry on the surface and then adding a rub before smoking? I am thinking about brining in the red pepper and vinegar Brine...

    Thermometer Question (WSM 18.5)

    I know that the dome thermometer isn't the most accurate and I haven't had a chance to go out and get a wireless thermometer yet, but does anyone else use a simple weber digital meat thermometer and stick it through the rubber probe hole on the side?  It stays horizontal and seems to read...

    Thanks Dirtsailor... Having trouble maintaining 240... more like 235, but still... thanks for the feedback on how short a time it might take! I may crank it down even a little more.

    Salsa Filled Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

    Greetings from the Cold, Snowy, and Smoky Midwest...

    About 4 hours into the smoke for the 6# bone-in pork butt and it's up to 140.  Not too bad for the outdoor temperature gradually going down from 19 when I started to 12 now.... I Had to add charcoal a couple times as I'm still learning how to keep the vents just right and of course the...
