"Retained Water?"
I picked up a couple of whole Tyson chickens on sale today to smoke this weekend. I've only smoked chicken pieces before, and never used a brine, so I wanted to give a brine a try (using the Slaughterhouse Brine recipe) on the whole birds. My question is about "enhanced" poultry. I've read... -
Pork back ribs for a Newbie
I've got the same smoker and use a digital thermometer and stick the probe through a potato I place on the cooking grate. The stock thermometer is junk and "ideal" is no where close to ideal. I also did a couple of mods like adding a grate to raise the charcoal off of the bottom of the smoker a...- cricky101

Tired of Fall Off the Bone Ribs!!! Please Help!!!
Forget the foil and just cook until finished right on the grate. Foiling always made my ribs too soft for my tastes. -
beer butt chicken.. what beer?
I love those racks - they make it really easy to get the bird balanced on the racks. I spent last week at a resort with my family and we had a really old, wobbly kettle grill outside of our cabin I used to make two beer butt chickens. The holders worked awesome even though I thought the grill... -
Where to buy bulk aluminum dishes?
Me too. Usually a two-pack (depending on size) for $1. Not the greatest deal out there, but definitely cheaper than buying them at the grocery store. Last time I did that it was close to $3 for a two-pack of "bean-sized" pans.- cricky101

Is there a water pan or anything you're using between the charcoal pan and the cooking racks? It kind of looks like one off to the side in one of the pics ....- cricky101

Just bought an ECB (Brinkmann) and it ran way too hot...help.
I've got the Brinkmann Gourmet ECB (the green one) and had trouble with too much heat and no way to control it. At first, I used less charcoal and that seemed to help out for shorter cooks for ribs and ABTs. Last week I made a sliding vent cover to go over the one hole in the bottom of the unit...- cricky101

Memorail Holiday Best Beef Brisket Prices and where?
Bought a packer at a Super Walmart in Minnesota last night for $1.68/lb. Don't think it was a sale price, though. Trimmed flats were closer to $3.50/lb -
***The new platform and a little info***
That's a function of your Web browser. For most, go to "View" and there should be a "zoom" feature, or something similar. Also, as a keyboard shortcut, using the control key and the plus (+) or minus (-) keys will increase and decrease the font on Web sites. It can throw off the formatting...- cricky101

Washington DC Gun Control
I get the punchline and all, but that 60/100,000 statistic can't be close at all .... 160,000 troops and 2112 deaths = 60 per 100,000??? -
New guy from Minnesota
Hi everyone. Chris from St. Paul, MN here. I've got some friends who smoke competitively, and after tasting the ribs, loin and and pulled pork they've made on their rigs, thought I needed to get in on the fun myself. I picked up a Brinkmann Gourmet water smoker last night on sale at Lowe's and...
