    Butt Rub Needed for Tomorrow

    I use a bastardized form of Wild Willy's Number One for most cooks. I adjust it based on what I'm cooking. More brown sugar for butts and ribs. Chipotle pepper for beef. Going to apple powder this weekend to test out for a rib cooking comp I'm doing in two weeks. Here's the basic Wild Willys...

    New WSM need help getting going with charcoal

    I've had my wsm for about 3 years now. I pretty much perform every smoke the same way. First I put the chimney on the coal rack of the smoker. Then I pour unlit charcoal all AROUND the chimney. Remove chimney, fill chimney with charcoal and light. Once lit, I put the lit coals in the hole...

    New and Confused

    I have a WSM and wouldn't trade it for anything. It holds temps exceptionally well. I can often fill the water tank, get it dialed in and not touch it for around 6 hours or so. Then just futzing with the air vents, I can get another 4 or 5 hours out of a big load of charcoal. Excellent little...

    Dehydrated apple powder in Rib Rub?

    So I've been toying with the idea, and wondering if anyone has tried this yet. I like an "appley-sweet" flavor to go with spiciness of my pork rib rub. Typically I foil in apple juice, or beer/apple cider vinegar to get some of that flavor. But my thought is to by dehydrated apple slices...

    Recommendations? --- Memphis BBQ

    I just came back from Memphis about a month ago. I went to a few places. Rendevous which is right down town. Very good q, cooked very well. The diff here is that they have Oregano in their rub. Kind of a different flavor, but it comes off very well. We went to Neely's Interstate and it was...

    Fatty Question: Dense meat

    So I've done several fatties now. My far and away favorite was breakfast fatty (scrambled eggs, cream cheese, chives, onions, salsa verde). My question is such: Is anybody else a little put off by how dense the meat becomes when pressed into a ziploc and rolled? I LOVE breakfast sausage...

    Wasting time

    Look at this way. When you boil meat, then pull it out of the water. What's left behind. Stock! Be it beef stock, chicken stock, or pork stock, all of the flavor from the meat gets left behind in the water. Boil at your own whim, but for myself, I much prefer 5 hours on the smoker. Gives me...

    Smoked Tri-tip. Awful

    I grill mine to about 140 using one of two flavorings. 1. Santa Maria style: just garlic powder, sea/kosher salt and cbp. 2. with a raspberry chipotle sauce brushed on after its cooked. 1 part raspberry jam, 1 part bbq sauce, a few canned chipotle peppers chopped and rinsed of the sauce...

    Super Beef Rib question

    So I went to Baby Blue's the other day. (BBQ joint in Venice Beach, CA and San Francisco, CA). One of their specialty items is a beef rib. Yes one rib. It is essentially a steak hanging off a rib bone and is very very good. My question is, would this just be a single bone prime rib? I've...

    Baby backs...in memory of Curt...

    Very sorry to hear about your loss. I went through almost the exact same thing with my brother about 10 years ago. He was finishing chemo for Lupus problems, and caught some sort of infection that could not be reversed. He left behind two young daughters and a wife as well. Every day is about...

    Props to the guy who invented it though, gotta admit it looks pretty cool. Might be a nice addition if you needed to do more meat than your regular smoker could handle
