    ready for my first smoke and need some help

    to me, a Boston but is easiest. it's hard to mess up. however Chicken is cheaper to learn with.  it's always best to open the top vents to allow smoke to exit clearly. use the bottom vent to control temps. don't worry about the temps. like most things 225 is the goal but if your dialed in at a...

    Rib Glaze help?

    I am partial to my sauce :). definitely sweet with a little something extra(it's the cinnamon)   for competition you may want to tone down the amount honey and layer it a few times to build up to your taste.   Jack Daniels Sweet and Tangy rib glaze   Servings 1 bottle Ingredients 1/2 cup...

    Oh no, my saggy grates!

    i'm not sure the pattern matters. why not use weld a 1/6" or 1/8" by 2" flat steel frame around the inside perimeter of the expanded metal. it will support anything you want

    reusing charcoal

    X3. with a komodo you have to reuse it, you'd waste a lot of charcoal.

    First Ribs and Second Thighs

    the old sauce-no sauce debate!  those are looking tasty. i have ribs going on tomorrow! the last ribs i made i did half a rack no sauce, one rack sauce. i am warming up to the no sauce, especially after my last rib test run(1/2 racj rub only, 1/2 rack rub/sauce).

    Release the KRACKEN! Honey whiskey and spiced black rum St. Louis ribs w/Qview!

    FWIW, I like the whiskey better for most things. the Whiskey adds a tangy, complex flavor vinegar can't. my favorite blend is JD/soy sauce/Worcestershire in some ratio to fit the flavor profile. that JD with honey isn't like other whiskey with honey. it's very smokey, earthy, and slightly...

    Release the KRACKEN! Honey whiskey and spiced black rum St. Louis ribs w/Qview!

    that's excellent that you don't drink. if didn't, i might be able to recall my 20's . i slowed down into the quality vs quantity phase(mostly )  that was directed for Doug mostly. he said he didn't like the taste.

    Release the KRACKEN! Honey whiskey and spiced black rum St. Louis ribs w/Qview!

    yeah. I'm a big spiced run fan and was disappointed in this to much licorice(anise?). maybe it the "Black" spiced rum in general.  good rum is real cheap compared to other spirits. the problem is that good rum cost the same as bad rum . i know with cognac, I can skip the $20 but with rum, it's...
