    good source for good maple?

    the whole state of VT was basically clear cut 100 years ago for timber. Now we got lots of silver maple tapped out for sugaring. My problem is finding hickory. It seems I can only get it at wally world. I use a combo of hickory/ oaK/ maple or cherry for the comps. -rob

    Which smoker would you recommend

    First, pawn your brinkman on craig's list. While there, check this out http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/for/730898383.html Then go get a Char Griller Smokin Pro. You are also a ripe candidate for the BDS it seems. -rob

    How much price per person?

    I get cases of shoulder at Costco. Last I knew, butts were $1.50 /lb. I can get brisket packers for @2/lb. Ribs are $3 lb for St Louis. Don't forget you'll render out %50 of the weight of the product. Ribs sell much higher than the other two. Another technique is to ask for a quote from an...

    Brined overnight on the deck and cooked as you see it here. The weber is fitted with side baskets. Note the properly foiled thermo. Also, don't forget to roast your bones to a golden brown before making stock.

    A Boston Butt question

    Try this - marinade one and the other just prep normally. You may find a huge difference in tenderness. Pork shoulder has so much fat it really doesn't need a marinade. -rob

    Smoke ring science

    Well I got yet another BBQ book the other day. It's way more recent then Paul Kirk's and Smoke & Spice. It's written by Dr. BBQ: (Tracy don't buy this, I got you one) In it there's an interesting comment on the smoke ring. The author states that it's created by a chemical process that happens...

    How do you clean your MES smoker?

    I don't know about your fancy electric models but what I do is load mine up in the back of the pickup and go to one of those DIY car washes with a high power sprayer. Cleans them up nice and quick. -rob

    A sorry A$$ Thermometer...Qview

    This will happen to all probes if you aren't going through a vent/drill hole. The first thing one should consider before laying out $$$ for a therm is if it possible to get REPLACEMENT PROBES because they WILL go bad. This is what I did when I got mine at William Sonoma. Also, I see from that...

    Thermometer search

    If you don't the wires will harden and the circuit will open. I learned this after buying several probes. If it's just for your grill I would seriously check out a Tell-True. I use a guru and stoker myself but I used to use one of these. rob

    rib membrane removal

    I start on the smaller side using a sharp pareing knife. Slip it under the bone to the other side then bend the knife up with a good hold on the ribs. That will give you a flap to work with. Get your paper towel and grab that flap, then SLOWLY peel. If it starts splitting then stop and use your...
