    Big easy in the snow

    another 16 inches of snow today and still coming down.  I have lost all my grills and the big easy and propane under the snow now. Last night in the cold snow I did a 7 pound chicken, 2 1/2 hours to just barely get it done right.

    Big easy in the snow

    4 feet of snow covering the barbecues decided to dig out the Big Easy oil-less fryer and cook up a roasting chicken let easier than trying to fire up the WSM smoker. It is supposed to take 10 minutes a pound, this was an 8 pound bird, took 2 hours 15 minutes of course it was 15 degrees outside

    McCormick Smokehouse Maple - recipe?

    I had seen those for sale, BJ's had the 32oz I think, I still have a quart jar full but want to try to make my own. I think I will get some of the Maple Syrup granules and start there

    McCormick Smokehouse Maple - recipe?

    I recently went to BJ's and they no longer had Smokehouse Maple spice. Has anyone put together a recipe for it? I see the ingredients on the bottle but figured if I could get a recipe it would speed up my experimenting

    Smoking in the Big Easy propane smoker

    Hey Tex, I checked out the threads, and the all seem to smoke in a smoker first and then finish in the Big Easy, makes sense, was just wondering since the new 3-1 big easy is a smoker as well. Oh well I have to get back to the reloading bench, have to make up some 45/70's

    Smoking in the Big Easy propane smoker

    I have been searching to see if anyone has tried smoking in the Big Easy propane smoker, not the electric or the 2 in 1 combo but the original Big Easy? I was thinking of trying it like you do with a propane grill, wood chips in aluminum at the bottom of the "fryer" Any ideas?  I may just try...

    foil wrapping

    I have the WSM's, a 22.5 and a 14.5, so I can't speak to the Brinkman, but I run about 50/50 on wrapping, sometimes I do sometimes I don't.      I am still learning but do think that wrapping will speed up the cook and retain moisture. I like the WSM's they are mostly set and forget.

    Metal plate to put in offset smoker for dutch ovens

    I got thinking about "pizza stones"  a rectangular baking stone. That would stand up to heat, but a 14x20 runs about $40 I could wrap it in aluminum foil and then could use it to make pizzas on the smoker after taking the foil off (foil might keep the coal out of it)

    Metal plate to put in offset smoker for dutch ovens

    Wondering if ceramic floor tile would stand up to the heat of 15-20 charcoal briquettes?

    Metal plate to put in offset smoker for dutch ovens

    I decided to try to multipurpose my New Braunfels offset smoker. I figured if I took the cooking racks out of it I could put in a metal plate about 14x30 inches that would sit above the bottom grates and allow me to put 2 12 inch or 2 14 inch dutch ovens in it to cook. It would have 3 (almost 4)...
