    Hello all, Been awhile since I've posted, but I'm planning to smoke a couple pork butts for pulled pork this weekend. I was thinking about injecting them with apple juice to try something different. Has anyone injected pork butts before? I usually just rub them and throw them on, but just...

    WSM Cart Ideas

    Hello all, I've got a WSM 18 and am interested in making some modifications. One of the things I'm thinking about is making a cart with casters for it. I've seen a video on YouTube of how to make one for a 22, but was just curious if anyone has done one themselves. If so, would there be any...

    Looking for Suggestions on Good Grill

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a suggestion on a quality grill without having to dish out an arm and a leg.

    AMNPS in WSM

    I tried using my amnps in my wsm last night while smoking a pork butt, and it didn't work. I'm not sure if the mailbox mod is required for use in the wsm. Does anyone else use their amnps in a wsm? If so, what does that mod look like on the wsm? I've already put a mailbox on my big smokehouse.

    I made some cheese earlier this fall and found that pepper jack was my favorite. This time around I made mostly pepper jack, and a couple blocks of cheddar, muenster, and Colby jack. I also bought a ghost pepper jack to try something different. I smoked using alder pellets in my new AMNPS...

    I've done several whole chickens in the past, and usually just do BBQ chicken smoked with Hickory. I decided I wanted to try something different, so I decided to use a creole butter marinade that I used with a turkey a couple weeks ago. I started this morning by spatchcocking the chicken...
