    Why deos a hot grate damage a thermometer probe?

    You're not going to damage your probes by allowing them to touch the metal grate (shelf) of a smoker. The issue is accuracy. While the air temperature inside a smoker will fluctuate quickly, the metal grate will fluctuate very slowly. The only time you might damage a probe would be if you...

    Light Brown vs Dark Brown Sugar

    You're probably good just using regular white sugar for rubs. As mentioned earlier, you'll probably not notice the difference between light and dark sugar when used in a rub. A book I've read suggests use of brown sugar in rubs is not necessary since you're adding smoke to your product and...

    Smoking: Part 1 and Part 2 question?

    In theory, it should work. In 5 hours or so, the meat should have come up to at least 165°, which is considered cooked. I'm guessing you're thinking pulled pork or beef. You can finish the cooking process in an oven, though the end product will be a little different.

    Brine Question?

    If you do brine, you might want to use a rub with a lower salt content as the salt might be overpowering. If you're a salt-aholic then disregard.

    GOSM does wonders!!

    Sounds like you're doing things right. You should just do the same with the whole chicken as you did with the wings and thighs. You should cook the whole chickens at a slightly higher temperature, say 275° or so. Another way would be to spatchcock them, meaning cutting down the backbone and...

    Salmonella and e. coli are surface contaminants, usually from fecal matter either animal or human. Washing your product will reduce the concentration of such contamination. Since cooking happens from the outside-in, any surface contamination will be destroyed long before the desired internal...

    Please help a GOSM newbie

    If one thinks clearly, there is no problem with poultry juices dripping onto other meats or into a pan of beans so long as you cook your food to the proper temperatures. Chicken should be be cooked to at least 160°F. It will be safe if cooked slowly, since this allows the heat to penetrate...

    Kobe Beef pic

    Maybe you did. If memory serves, our beef was not too different from the beef in the picture until the anti-fat mania. It's strange we eliminate natural fat, just to add manufactured, unnatural fat back into our foods.

    Need a dry rub

    Well, a easier rub would be 50% salt and 50% pepper. I've seen a couple of recipes with just that rub. Also, I saw a barbecue show on PBS some years ago where the ranch cook only used salt and pepper. Some Q shack operators complicate things by adding cayenne pepper to the mixture and...

    Help

    Chicken probably is no very salvageable. The sooty residue will permeate into the meat. Your air vents on the burner maybe blocked by insects, namely spiders. This is an occasional problem with propane grill. Spiders build webs which block air flow, which lead to yellow flames instead of blue.
