    I hate grilled chicken breasts, but...

    I tried something a little different (for me) this time and they were outstanding. I'm a thigh guy. Breasts seem dry and flavorless. Yet MrsLC favors breast meat. So I needed to find a way to make it acceptable for both of us (and the teen boys who live in my house and call me "Dad"). I've...

    KBB at Lowes 4 days only

    Dang! Y'all don't use much charcoal compared to me. But, I do cook for quite a few people on my Weber kettle virtually every day.

    KBB at Lowes 4 days only

    Lowe's has a 2 unit max purchase. HD has a 5 unit max. So I went to HD. The checkout lady said to get as much as I want. So I did. Good thing I took my pickup truck!

    5th Annual SMF Carolinas Smokers Gathering (May 13, 14 and 15, 2016) **PICS**

    Thanks for posting up the pics Scott! Thanks again for the AMNPS and pellets...and for allowing me to attend. I will not miss out on the Saturday festivities next year. Shall I bring my resident bartender again? Never mind, I know the answer to that!

    Scott, I haven't tried the tube smoker...yet. But I am running the offset smoker today! I will give it a try within the next couple of days. I promise. Thanks again to everybody!

    5th Annual SMF Carolinas Smokers Gathering (May 13, 14 and 15, 2016) **PICS**

    I hope y'all are eatin' good this evening. I hated having to depart before the party really got cranked up. Still, it was great to meet some fine folks and enjoy some good eats. Thanks to Scott and Cricket for hosting. If there's a 6th Annual SMF Carolinas Smokers Gathering, I will be there.

    5th Annual SMF Carolinas Smokers Gathering (May 13, 14 and 15, 2016) **PICS**

    I plan to arrive right around noon tomorrow, so I'll be ready to jump in and help where needed. I'll be packin' four fatties ready to smoke: two Florentine and two Pizza Supreme. I wish I could stay longer, but Friday is all I could muster.

    Open fire cooking.

    I came to appreciate open fire cooking through camping as well. The best steaks I have ever made were (and still are) cooked on a tripod over the fire pit. We've even figured out a method to smoke a butt to perfection in the fire pit...cuz a man's got to do what a man's got to do. I don't do the...

    First Time Smoker

    snakdoc, welcome to SMF. The reason folks are suggesting starting with a less expensive meat option is because you will be going through a learning curve. There's not only the procedural learning curve, but also learning your particular smoker...including its strengths and weaknesses. Start by...
