    First Smoke on WSM

    So the day didn't go quite as expected.  I struggled with getting my temp up and had to finish off the butt and three racks of ribs on the Genesis due to when my company was set to arrive. The ribs were perfect and only need a quick flash to get to 195. The butt had great flavor and bark but I...

    Whole Chicken on the Kettle

    So yesterday I decided to finally steer away from beer can chicken and do a whole split chicken on the grill. I was a little nervous because it seemed much more difficult than the beer can chicken. Long story short I did a decent job cutting out the spine and flattening it out.  I brined (sugar...

    WSM or Egg

    I have a Weber Kettle and want something else to smoke on. I can afford the 18.5 inch WSM now. All in the Egg is probably $1400 dollars once you get some acessories. The WSM is 300. Is the Egg worth the wait? Is it that much better than the WSM? The WSM seems more than adequate and priced...

    First Brisket

    Just smoked and ate my first brisket. After a lot of fretting and a big temperature spike it actually ended up pretty good. A little tough in areas but good flavor and a good smoke ring.  When I took it off the grill I swore I wouldn't try brisket again but after eating it I decided I'll work to...

    Save my Brisket

    So my brisket peaked at 194. I did the Texas crutch. Before taking it off I opened to take temp again. Dropped to 189, 181 and now it is 178.  Kettle temp is probably 225.  Oven? Let it ride a while longer? Get my coals and temp up??

    Weber Smoker, Green Egg Or Keep On Kettle Smoking

    I have recently purchased the Weber 22.5 Kettle and love it.  I have been able to do some good smoking but it takes a lot of work. I could probably make my life easier doing the minion method but I am a afraid I won't be able to control the heat as well as using charcoal dividers and adding a...

    Brisket Advice For My Weber Kettle

    I have just started smoking and I use the 22.5 Weber Kettle. Been very pleased with my boston butts and want to try a brisket. For a butt I use my charcoal dividers and place the butt in the middle. I was thinking about trying a minion method of sorts. Any suggestions? How long will it take me...

    Boston Butt On My 22.5 Inch Weber

    So I am relatively new to smoking. I have been grilling 15 plus years on a gas grill.  Originally I was attracted to the ease and controlled environment of gas.  My most recent grill was the Weber Gensis.  Great grill and I have loved it but gas left a lot to be desired.  Not having the spare...
