    The Question...

    I have a Cookshack Smokette, similar to Scar's Smokin' Tex.  New they're darn pricey; don't forget to check out Craigslist, that's where I got mine. I have to cook on a deck, and live on the wet side of washington. Electric is best for me right now. How much space do you have? How much time do...

    rub/marinade recipes?

    You might not need to spray at all. But you can water down some bourbon, or any fruit juice you like, apricot tends to be not as sweet as some. The nectars in the Mexican food aisle are handy for cooking (and mimosas). I often use peach or apricot along with some bourbon if I foil, or I use...

    What the best over the counter BBQ sauce you ever ate ?

    Until recently I'd never bought a sauce, except for buying a gallon or so for bigger parties from my fave local joint (sadly out of business), but hearing folks talk about some here on the forum got me curious. The best I've found so far is a local guy here in Western WA, Biff's BBQ Sauce. It...

    2nd Birthday suggestions

    We had beef ribs, spares and bratwursts for our daughters 2nd birthday (18 years ago!). Great time had by all. Did the ribs ahead and rewarmed them, sauced,  in covered foil pans.  The brats were parboiled in beer, then grilled just to brown and flavor them up. I was still pretty much a q-noob...
