    I'm curious if anyone has done competition BBQ before (I'm sure there's a bunch). I'm trying to figure out a way to best secure a 40'x40' spot from the general public. Everything is on the contestants to provided, and there are a few vendors to rent from, but I wanted to see if anyone had any...

    Trail Bologna - Question

    This weekend I dabbled in making some Trail Bologna for the first time. I was able to borrow a 5# Mighty Bite stuffer from a colleague of mine which was a life saver. The bologna turned out great in flavor, but I have a question in regards to the final product. Why is the collagen casing...

    Grinder: 500 watts vs 1/2 HP

    When looking for a grinder I often find that a 500 W unit is cheaper than a 1/2 hp unit. However, 500 W is more than 1/2 hp when you do the mathematical conversation. 1 hp = 748 W. Is this a marketing gimmick because folks don’t understand the units, or is there something mechanically I’m...

    Shirley - Chicken Thighs

    I decided it was time to try a direct cook in the warmer box and what better than chicken thighs? Process: Loaded a charcoal chimney with Kingsford Briquettes. Once lit, I distributed them in the seal welded ash pan. This was the first time I've used Kingsford. I typically use lump charcoal...

    Shirley, you want some ribs...?

    Starting my fire and coming up to temp prior to tossing on the baby backs. Nice pull, subtle smoke ring, and a clean bite. What else could you ask for? Process: Smoked at 250F with minor temperature swings between 225-275 F. Utilized a combination of Post Oak and Hickory wood, which...

    New MES 145S

    Smoker junkie here... Bought a new smoker at Sam’s knowing I’d eventually upgrade the controller with a PID. That being said I’m impressed with the controller accuracy so far. Flame boss I use for the BGE and MES are close enough for g00berment work! Happy smoking from Pennsylvania!
