    Wild pork is smokin

    Yeah, i saw an ABC Special on the wild hogs spreading and it's a problem. They are encouraging people to hunt them. I asked my wife's friend husband if he ever sees them when hunting. He's a hunting fanatic. He says he's hunts in western illinois, downstate and in Missouri somewhere and...

    Wild pork is smokin

    What state are you in? I'd go hunting if I could find a wild hog! My wife's girlfriend's husbands goes deer hunting all the time. I'm going to ask him about this.

    Any other WSM 22 inch owners

    I just got back from The Great Escape and they had one there. I was impressed by the size of it. It's very big! Maybe next year I'll get one and retire the old ECB that I've been putting off modifying(it's in pieces in my basement).

    Chicago Newbie Here!

    LOL!! Tell me about it. Don't ask me how Daly is skating by without so much as a scratch on him. Usually the mexican food stores have some good butchers if your in the city. The meat is usually pretty cheap. Even the burbs have some. Depends on where your at. There isn't many real...

    Grilling with mesquite no flavor

    I used my CGSP grill. I set up a mound of coals in the middle and placed the leg quarters around it away from the fire so it's indirect grilling. The lid was closed.

    Grilling with mesquite no flavor

    since it was nice out here on Sunday, I decided to make some chicken leg quarters with mesquite. I grilled them because it was getting late. Now, when I use 3 good sized hickory chunks when using this method, I get a nice taste of hickory in the chicken. I used mesquite chunks this time and I...

    Weed burner vs. charcoal chimney

    Yes, I've used the side burner too. That's pretty easy and i'm positive it probably uses less propane too. If you in a hurry though, the weed burner does the job!

    Weed burner vs. charcoal chimney

    I have 3 chimneys! One weber and 2 generics. I'm sure i'll still use them when time permits, but today I wanted coals fast to cook some top sirloin steaks for me and my wife! Btw..i'm a fan of both gas grills and charcoal. Never can have too many grills! ;) I need to stop scouring...

    Weed burner vs. charcoal chimney

    No contest! Weed burner wins hands down! I tried it this time at a lower setting that didn't scare the turds out of me. I had it lit in less than 2 minutes. I also have one of those propane gauges on my gas tank and it didn't appear to use much. I'd say it was ready to cook on in like 6...

    Chargriller Question

    Guess I got good one, mine is only 25-30 degrees off! :p I added two ebay thermometers at the grill level. Much more accurate. You can get Char-broil thermometers at Lowe's for like $6 a piece.

    BDS on Primal Grill with Steven Raichlen with propane torch!!

    I'm going to try it again, this time not turning it on full bore. I see he kinda slowly cooked the coals on the show. We'll see if it's any faster than the side burner. I'm going to video and time both methods. I'll post it when I'm done!

    BDS on Primal Grill with Steven Raichlen with propane torch!!

    I DVR Primal Grill with Steven Raichlen. Last night, I could not BARE to watch my beloved White Sox lose to our divisional rivals so I turned it on. He broke out a BDS and lit the coals with a propane torch! He said referring to the propane torch "this tool will make you the envy of all your...
