    Turkey and timing question

    Sorry guys, just now getting back to reading the responses. This is going to my wife's class of 4 year olds, no kitchen to reheat the bird in. Sounds like the safest bet would be to smoke it Sunday evening, frig it after it rest, and slice it Monday morning to pack in ice to take to school. I...

    Pork Chops....

    I am really enjoying this forum. I have always liked cooking and especially liked grilling, but never was extremely happy with my results....until now. I have gotten serious about it and I now use a thermometer on everything I grill or smoke. Things turn out so much better than before, so I...

    Turkey and timing question

    My wife needs me to have a turkey smoked for her class at school (Thanksgiving Feast). I really don't want to babysit this all night to have it ready for her to take to school Monday morning, so....if I smoke it Sunday evening and wrap it in foil and refrigerate, then reheat early Monday...

    Imperial Gasket Kit

    I needed something to seal the lid on my Char Grill from the smoke leaks, so I found a fireplace gasket kit at Lowes. It comes with the fiberglass rope and cement. Should I use the cement that comes with the kit or something else to attach the rope to the grill?

    Cutlery questions

    I have a mix of Henckels and Wusthof, a boning knife, 8" chefs, 5" utility, 7" Santoku. I too am interested in thoughts on what types of cutlery are recommended. I am considering a good clever also and but not sure if I really need it.

    My dad gave me this....

    I believe so, he said someone gave it to him and that it had been built for the guy that gave it to him.

    My dad gave me this....

    Thanks for the input, my dad is a great guy, hope to grow up just like him. I am headed out of town on business, but will have time to kill in the evenings. I will likely be hitting Lowes and Home Depot and getting my ideas together for this weekend to do some work on the new project.

    My dad gave me this....

    Yeah, I think I am gonna just leave it as a grill for now, and maybe do some indirect heat cooking also. Can't wait to clean it up and get to cooking....

    My dad gave me this....

    Well, I decided I did not want to use my CharGrill anymore to grill burgers and steaks and only use it to smoke meat. I mentioned to my dad that I was gonna pick up something to grill on, and he said he had one that I coul dhave and get it out of his way. Well, now that I have it home, I am...

    *The Minion Method* and side fire box smokers?

    I used this method with my char-griller as well and was able to maintain between 225 and 250 for quite a while.

    My first smoke, sort of..

    There is always room for improvement, but I think it turned out pretty good. And the family liked it.

    My first smoke, sort of..

    Well, the turkey turned out nice. I am not a fan of white meat even on chicken, but this was OK, the dark was very nice a juicy. The pork pulled nicely and was very good. My first try was a success, in my opinion. Can't wait to try some tweaks and give it another go. Here is a little qview!
