    Can't you smoke them to 145 or so? Why take it all the way to 160-165?

    Vegetable Grates

    If you grill a lot of vegs, you know using kabobs sometimes doesn't make sense. Many of the grates available don't allow enough open area IMO or are hard to clean. What do you use to grill vegs?

    Beer can chicken: Smoked or grilled?

    I'm under the impression chicken doesn't benefit from low and slow cooking. Use indirect heat and put some chucks on it. Mine turn out great. Brine!

    WSM Almost Decided

    I'm sold on getting a WSM. After reading many threads I'm 99% certain of going with a 18.5"  because: 1. I live alone and usually cook for myself. 2. My deck is small and it will take up less space. 3. Using less charcoal and being able to have 18hr cooks without refilling seems fantastic...

    Mesquite Tutorial

    What are the rules for using mesquite? I was thinking of using it on my first attempt at brisket and with the negative posts and talk of it being an "advanced wood" I'm questioning the choice.

    Rules for TBS

    So I've been feeling pretty good about myself..finally figured out how to get TBS. Placing a chunk directly on coals creates white smoke for a while then it will settle down but, sometimes it takes a while.

    Smokenator ?

    I love mine but it's my first smoker. If you're looking for a dedicated smoker a WSM is a better choice because (they say) it's easier to use.

    Smokenator 1000

    Yes I had a candy thermometer but in the end scraped using it and went with a polder on the grate sitting on two radishes. Besides having the trouble with the clip I don't like the idea of reducing the top vent area. Now there are no worries about accuracy. I've marked where 225 deg is on the...

    Kingsford Aftertaste?

    Using Kingsford in a smokenator makes life much, much easier. It provides a significantly longer burn, rock solid temperatures, and is cleaner to handle. If working with RO, you need to fill the entire chamber each hour. Can someone explain how I can identify the Kingsford minion method...

    Brining Timing

    Do you have to put the bird on the grill as soon as it leaves the brine? Could you brine it for 24 hours and then let it sit in rub for 12 hours before it hits the smoker?
