    Grilling/Smoking observations

    I recently purchased a Chargriller Akorn Jr. I am very impressed with it as a grill. Don't see myself using my Lodge hibachi so much any more. It will cut into my mini WSW time as well. It is nice and economical to smoke 1 rack of ribs or a single tri tip. However, I have to say, I turn out a...

    My new Akorn JR

Going to drink a beer and then season it tonight. This is grill #3. I have a 14.5 mini WSM, Lodge Sportsman grill and now this. As much as I love...

    Mini WSM 14.5 rib rack

    Hi, I have a mini WSM, not a home built. I have seen several references to rib racks used in these. I have not found one that fits. Can someone provide a name/place to purchase, or a link for one that fits? Thanks in advance.

    First brisket in my mini WSM

    I made a rather detailed post earlier that deleted when I tried to add a picture. Short post now, won't separate point next time. I had to cut the flat into 2 pieces to fit it all in the mini. Next time I will just cut the brisket in half and separate the point after cooking. This is my first...

    ABT vice?

    Hi, so my smoker is a mini WSM so grill real estate in a cook is at a premium. I know ABT's should be smoked, and they are better when they are. No argument here, but I can make 24 at a time in 20 min. In my WalMart turbo convection oven and they are still really good and i can pre make a couple...
