    How many people do you cook for?

    I am constantly watching grilling/smoking/bbq videos, reading equipment and recipe reviews, perusing this forum, etc. It seems like almost everything I see is people cooking portions for perhaps 2 people. Maybe that just makes it easier to put together a good review. Got me wondering how many...

    Oklahoma Joe Blackjack Kettle?

    Anybody seen one in person? Apparently they are a Home Depot exclusive. The pics I have found online make it look short, perhaps even shorter than a Weber tripod. Based on the published weight of 74lbs they seem to be substantially heavier than the 37lb Weber kettle. Which is just what I need...

    You might want to buy a cow

    We buy all of our meat producer-direct, sans the occaisional run to Costco. Our favorite producer uses a local meat locker that does a phenominal job, offers free local delivery, and has better prices than any other meat locker within 60 miles. They just don't do "fancy" and special requests...

    A poorly written review of the Oklahoma Joe Bronco

    Last year, after extensive research and mental debate, I picked up the Oklahoma Joe Bronco. I don't believe one can properly review a product until they have some time using it so I have held off until now. With a solid 20+ cooks under my belt I can tell you that all that emotional turmoil...

    Meat from Costco?

    They recently built a Costco about 50 miles away from us. Currently we buy most of our meat from locally grown sources processed at local meat lockers. While some of it is actually much cheaper than you can find at grocery stores, not to mention better, some products like brisket and ribs can...

    Thoughts on a Camp Chef SmokePro SE

    I have a buddy who owns a Camp Chef SmokePro SE and is going to be upgrading to a much newer Camp Chef with WiFi in a couple weeks. He is one of those guys who treats his property like it is irreplacable. When he showed me the SmokePro I asked him if he had ever even used the things, he replied...

    Pellets in the Great White North

    I am overthinking smokers to the extreme, so even though I am not sold on pellets - I am not automatically ruling them out either. My biggest concern is the electronics. I live where 30 degrees means you put the coat and gloves away and throw on some shorts. I started my smoking life with a...

    Yeah, I can believe it's not butter

    So as I sit here watching grilling/smoking YouTube video after YouTube video, from pit masters to backwoods hillbilly cookers (the kind I trust the most), and I see people pouring Parkay and other squeezable yellow garbage onto otherwise good looking ribs and other meats. That's like having a...

    My head is spinning! UDS vs WSM

    After much research and debate last year I selected and purchased a Weber Genesis II 4 burner to replace my old gasser. I made the right choice and am very happy with it, especially after adding Grill Grates and a pellet maze. Now it's time to replace my old (electric) smoker. For some reason I...

    Nope, not gonna ask which gasser to buy

    If you saw my intro you know I just retired a 15 year old gas grill and a nearly as old electric smoker. Both died this winter in service to my belly and now reside in the city dump. Rest in peace you magnificent chunks of cheap rusty metal. This created a serious dilema as I am the opposite of...

    World's leading expert on outdoor cooking

    After spending the last month or so reading old posts and lurking in the newer threads, I am pretty sure I am the now the world's leading expert on cooking meat outside. I will however admit that my world covers about a 1/2 acre and I use the term "expert" the same way the weatherman reports...
