    Sourdough Bread On My Weber Kettle (Lots of pics)

    breads on the grill are awesome!!!! Tried some tortillas once. They weren't the best looking, but man were they good!!

    Probably a dumb question

    Really?? No such thing as a dumb question. Best answer I can give though, is to try it every way you can think of until you find the one YOU like the best.( Or maybe the way your wife likes best, which is about the same right?)

    look what I got!!

    What I did was put a set of bolts to hold my top grate 3 inches below the top rim of my barrel. I put another set 7 inches below that and I have two cook grates. I can put one at each position and use it as a grill or drop my fire into the bottom for a smoker.

    My UDS Build. Love it so far!!

    Got tired of trying to get a firebox to seal. All I wanted was something that I could control the temps on and get good flavor.In my opinion this has got to be the easiest smoker to use. As you can see I had a weber lid. It fits perfectly! The drum was a sealed top that had coolant that goes in...

    3 yr old MES 40 is dead!!

    If you can pop a cover and see if there is any kind of internal fuses. I really dont know anything about the mes units but did have a microwave blow a fuse. Replaced fuse worked for years more.

    Six Smoked Chickens

    Don't know how many of you can find it, however I used a Buffalo Rock brand Southern Spice Ginger Ale in a Chick-Can. Didn't like the Ginger Ale to drink, but the flavor of the chicken was GREAT!! I have to say that if you believe that the drinks don't leave a flavor in the meat then you are...

    Venison

    I'll leave the bacon up to you. Personally I would rub with favorite rub, set smoker to 250 or so insert meat thermometer at proper time, pull off st 165 to 170 it and have one nice piece of venison for dinner. Use whatever wood you use for beef and you'll be fine. My experience has been that...

    Help!

    Easiest thing is to push the meat probe through a small patatoe or onion letting the tip stick out far enough and set it on the cook grate and compare the two gauges. The other option is to see if you can take the factory one off and boil test it.

    My Weber Mods with question

    OK it's been along time coming but I finally figured out a way past having to turn off my phone, remove the battery, and sim card, put sim card into adapter, transfer photos from sim card, and put phone back together again, so here is a pic of my Weber as she stands now.   The more I use it...

    Trouble posting pics from android

    I am having difficulty posting pics from my android. I did this once, and it worked like a dream. Ever since then I cannot get the pics to post. It will ask me if I want to upload from device(yes), then asks where to look(gallery), select pic, it asks about offensive or copyrighted material(no)...

    Can you brine too long??

    Thank You. I don't know about percentages of salt and sugar, however I do trust Jeff's judgement of such things. I went ahead and put the turkey into the brine, and will get up early in the morning(hopefully) and smoke it. This will be the first time for me to brine a turkey, and only my second...

    Can you brine too long??

    I was going to smoke my turkey today using Jeff's basic brine from the recent news letter about turkey with bacon butter. I was going to put it into the brine last night before bed. We went to my wife's aunt and uncle's house for Thanksgiving, got to playing dominoes and didn't get home until...

    Smoker gone bad....

    Thank you for this info. I am sorry to hear of your loss. Do not mean to sound callous, however we, the living, can't stop our lives. I am glad you were able to recover your smoker, that thing is awesome!

    Chicken is too smokey

    You can use the side firebox. Cut your pecan into fist size or slightly smaller chunks. Mix in well with lump charcoal using the minion method. I do this all the time and have never had a problem with too much smoke from seasoned pecan.

    My Weber Mods with question

    Yeah, I thought it worked pretty good, I was just wondering if it was somehow disrupting my smoke or anything.

    My Weber Mods with question

    This is the plate I was referring to. It is on a cook grate that was raised from the original position so I could build a bigger coal bed.

    My Weber Mods with question

    First allow me to apologize for no pics yet. My net connection is acting up, however I will try to post a few pics ASAP. I took a piece of 55 gal. drum and rolled some bands out of gauge material at work so that I could set it onto the base of my 22.5 Weber, and also to get a better fit for the...

    First time Butt going on!

    It will depend on the smoker, and the style of wood(chips,chunks, logs). If you are using chips in an electric smoker I have read about every 45 mins or so. If you are using chunks in a charcoal and cut the wood to about the size of a briquette and mix it in good using the minion method never...
