    Should I upgrade my Chargriller?

    That is a good idea about using the grates to support the ash tray. That would get me started with less investment. As for the thermometer, I never use it for grilling. It gives me an idea if I am running hotter or cooler that's it. For grilling, I just hold my just above the grate and...

    Should I upgrade my Chargriller?

    I am thinking along the same lines. Also, I need to make sure I will stick with this for a long time before I invest that kind of cash. Not to mention, it will probably take me years to convince my wife

    All Lump is not created equally

    I have used RO from GFS for grilling for the last 4 years. I tried Cowboy a couple times before. It always looked like chunked up boards. I just don't have a warm fuzzy about that.

    Pulled pork tastes like pork roast

    I have been thinking the same thing. It makes sense to me. The funny thing is, I actually threatened to not foil this one, but I caved in. I think I will definitely try one without foiling next time.

    Pulled pork tastes like pork roast

    Thanks for the input, guys! I may do some experimenting with the rub, although it is fantastic on the ribs I have made. It seems like the flavor doesn't get inside the meat. I guess that is the other side of BBQ, experimenting with flavors. Herkysprings, I will have to try adding vinegar to...

    Pulled pork tastes like pork roast

    I have made 3 pork butts over the last month. Overall, they have all been quite juicy, but the flavor is lacking. If I eat it the same day, it smells smokey, but it tastes like a roast. I made the second butt a day ahead of time, pulled it and put it in the fridge. I put the juice in a jar...

    Fourthwind, Are you willing to share your recipe for snack sticks? What spices do you use? How much pork? My Dad and I do a lot of goose hunting each year, and he would love the goose snack sticks.

    Smoking Sausage in GOSM

    When you add the the additional briquettes, are they already lit? What were you cold smoking? I guess I am just looking for a good way to smoke sausage in the summer. I am not sure I will be able to maintain a low enough temperature to smoke in the 150 deg range.

    Smoking Sausage in GOSM

    Has anyone ever tried cold smoking sausage in a GOSM? Here are my thoughts. A couple days ago, I got the wood smoking in my wood box with a hot plate. (I was really hoping to maintain low temps in the smoker with the hot plate, but couldn't get past 90 deg. with the outside temp around 45...
