    Dual Probe Digital Thermometers

    I love the iGrill because I can download the temps to my computer and use that to understand results. Also, i like to see the chart. I use an ambient and insert probe. I use the basic Maverick too when I want to measure two internal probes.

    Buy Black if buying any ceramic coated iron

    I just read a review of ceramic coated iron pans. the verdict is out if they are better at non-stick after many uses as a well seasoned iron pan. The ceramic pans were colors. All ceramic coated ironware will chip and the chips will be where you see them: on the edge of the pan,dutch oven or...

    Soak or no soak wood chips?

    Makes sense and addresses my concern of poor quality smoke; the surface drying allows the chunks to get to the right temp and the moisture simply slows the consumption without degrading the smoke. I think I'll try it especially for winter smoking when the wood is so dry that it can deliver too...

    Soak or no soak wood chips?

    Interesting, thanks. Though, several people said the flavor might be less. I've still noticed a lower quality smoke coming out of the grill; thick and white.

    Thermometers are a must, and so is the kitchen scale

    I've not seen posts in this forum complaining about thermometers; must be a bunch of good smart cooks! But, due to frustration due to reading other forums filled with people whining about their probe not working I thought I'd post this: A probe thermometer needs to be in contact "submersed" in...

    Very nice. I have the Amaz-N-Tube. I think I'll make something like that for my salmon. Thanks.

    Soak or no soak wood chips?

    No soak unless you are adding small fine chips for a quick short smoke (keeps them from burning). Wood chunks hardly take any water up and I believe the smoke is poor, bitter tasting.

    Grilling burgers method

    Good tips. I never really thought about it. The Mule's (great looking burgers Mule) way is what I've instinctively done but I don't have flair-up problems even when using a solid bed of coals. I think these things add up to a low flair burger: • Meat-market 85/15 burger • Only use powdered NO...

    Easiest shrim grilling tip

    Hi, I love grilled shrimp and they have to be perfectly cooked, no 30 seconds too long. Remember, if the shrimp look cooked on the first down side in 3 minutes, the other side will take maybe only 1+ minute. I use an old cheap hamburger cage. I can put many shrimp in it and flip them all at...

    Grilling oysters

    Thanks. I've given up on mussels. I can have them hand picked at a good store and have 30% open in hours so they are tossed. My sister sent be a huge bag of mussels shipped direct from the dock. 50% were dead. I love oysters. I just don;t want to have to shuck them. I guess I'm a lazy shucker.

    Helping picking a new smoker

    About Balance-Some Spices,Herbs, Just Don't Work Together

    Chef JimmyJ, I agree with the conversion to weights. First, it allows quick balance of foods that are not regular: a typical fresh salsa is 3:1 tomatoes to onion. Tomatoes from the garden don't come in handy sizes and it's to frik'n' slow and wasteful to prep them and not use it all. Prep, weigh...
