    Flame Grilled Veggies

    Did these up for winter smokes and chilis, stews or what ever. Sometimes there is just no doing without a good ole charcoal grill and a little oak stick wood. Started off w/ 2 small baskets of Royal Oak and had to finish w/ a handful of assorted hardwood kindling off the porch, bit off more to...

    New Guy from Florida

    To all you boys down there in the South I've got one question I've always wanted to ask. Is it true that smoked gator steaks taste like chicken? Inquiring minds would like to know. So much for my limited attempt at humor. Welcome to the site. Hope you all enjoy all the different ways of smoking...

    This is my 2nd bulk pickings from my bucket garden, 1st went to son and family. I'm planning on flame grilling/smoking them and putting it all up in the freezer for winter stews and chillis and what ever. Last year I flame grilled some whole maters w/ skin-on on my Char-Griller over coals and...

    Pulled pork first attempt

    Every one does it different, there ain't no wrong way, generally. I rub my butt the night before with mustard and dust it w/ Tony's, cover it and iced box it. Pull it out of the frig a couple of hours early so it can rest while you're messing w/ your pit. Mine is a pellet pooper. Go through your...

    Welcome to the site. I too am in S/W MI., Hartford but I'm a pellet pooper now. I don't use sticks and coal much any more.

    Ha Ha Ha, at my age any chance you get to rub a butt is not wasted time.

    Haven't been able to smoke or grill until new deck is finished...

    Sorry but I'll take a garage/shop over a deck any day, rain, snow or blow, I'm smoking. But that is a good looking deck for partying.

    Meat vs Meat Substitute, Your Viewpoint ~ Foamheart

    I'm sorry but I'm too old school. Meat has had blood running through it and almonds don't give milk.

    Indian Motorcycle and Traeger Grills takin it on the road

    Great idea but I think I'd have the pit as a tow behind with an age appropriate hard body in the side car. But that just me. :emoji_wink:

    Pit Boss Tailgater Questions

    Siege, if ya buy an inverter, chances are YOU will have to supply the wiring from battery to power unit. Don't skimp on the size of the wire, I just happened to have these "jumper" style cable off an old commercial battery charger. With the bigger unit I don't have to haul a genny out in the...

    Pit Boss Tailgater Questions

    Several times we've had the power go off in the middle of a "smoke" so I spent a few bucks on my back-up system. The small inverter is an 800w continuous and the big one in 4000w continuous and the marine battery out of my boat is a 1200 cca. The 800 handled an 8 & 1/2 smoke as a test in my Pit...

    First pork shoulder! With photos!

    For your 1st. Butt I'd say you did a fantastic job. Doing PP is a lot like fishing, everyone does it different. Pellets, coal, wood, gas, electric, not to mention the various types of pits, it's all going to work a little different. Just keep tweaking it until you get what YOU want. Thanks for...
