    Turkey Availability!

    I have read all about the supposed turkey shortage this year and, at least in my area, it isn't happening. I just got my turkeys for $0.39lb, with plenty of selection, at Publix. Food Lion also had plenty of turkey's for $0.33lb but you had to buy $35 in groceries to get that price. There wasn't...

    Any of you smokers have a Home Theater?

    First cook on my Timberline 1300!!

    I got my grill seasoned today and did a couple baby back rib racks for dinner. I am really impressed with this grill. It was 36° outside this morning when I fired up the grill, for the burn in. The grill went from dead cold to 500° in 35 minutes. I think that is outstanding. I did my ribs at...

    Pellets?

    I know Lumber Jack, Cooking Pellets, Smoke Ring and such are all good pellet but does anyone have any experience with Louisiana Grill pellets? I can get these locally and none of the other brands are available, except Traeger and I have heard too many bad things about their pellets. I would have...

    Kamado style grills?

    Anyone else interested in a sub section for Kamado style grills? I think it would be a good addition to the forum if we grouped all the question about Kamado grills in one section. We have sections for many other subjects, why not Kamado grills? I know there are already forums dedicated to them...

    Lamb Chops

    I did a Lamb Chop cook on my Big Joe Friday for dinner and I think they came out very good. The wife was very happy and that's what counts. I have never been much for Lamb but my wife loves it, so I promised her I would make some chops. I ended up doing them in a marinade of lemon juice, lemon...
