    first time with smoker

    For a whole Chicken, I get OUTSTANDING results butterflying it, everything cooks up nice and moist at the same time. For the skin, mix a teaspoon or so of corn starch in your rub. Also try to let the chicken sit uncovered in the fridge for a few hours before you cook.

    Meteor Curlys Chuckwagon Charcoal Grill

    Hi Everyone, In a classic example of project scope creep, I am building and outdoor wood fired pizza oven on a new stamped concrete patio. I got to thinking that it really would not be all that much more work/money to add a built in Santa Maria type grill next to the Pizza oven. I was thinking...

    BBQ Pit Masters

    From what I understand, the first season follow teams around the circuit (I liked this idea). The second was small specialized competitions with Myron and a few other Judges (eh not so good). There will be no third season.

    Grill Dome vs Big Green Egg

    After 12 years of heavy use with everything from smoking cheeses to 800 degree steaks I JUST replaced my gasket. It took 1 hour start to finish. The recent new gasket is improved over the old one (which lasted just fine) and is geared for the crazy temps it is capable of. My old gasket did leak...

    Absolute Rookie Needs Tips

    WELCOME! I had that smoker many years ago, you can make some darn fine food on it - but it takes patience. I would start with Chicken Thighs or wings first. They take far less time and are far more forgiving than a brisket. The propane is for one of those little camping 1lb tanks. Makes...

    NEED YOUR ADVICE on purchasing smoker or dehydrator for jerky/meat stick making

    Another thought - I have a middle of the road Dehydrator that does a TERRIFIC job. I got the 5 tray, it can easily do 5 pounds of meat, it is a quality piece that makes GREAT meat sticks and Jerky http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/Dehydrators-37-cat.htm

    Meat cuts for jerky

    Funny, most are saying it has to be super lean. The BEST jerky I have ever had was made from Prime Sirloin (from Costco, not cheap but not crazy $$ either when compared to store bought junk). Being prime it had nice marbling, that added with the occasional fat streak - HOLY COW it was terrific...
