    Condiments: hot dogs, who puts what on.

    Sport peppers, yellow mustard, onions, and sweet pickle relish on a poppy seed bun. What other way is there?? When I lived in Madison the only place to get a true Chicago dog in the entire city was the local Home Depot of all places. They did a really good job. Now I want one.

    St. Louis Spares and a 4.5LB Butt

    Try not wrapping the ribs. More time = more color. Plus you don't get the braising of foil which is the main cause of over cooked ribs.

    Fool proof grilled pizza dough?

    It took me a couple years of trial and error to be able to grill the perfect pizza, and a lot of eye rolls from the wife, and one use of a fire extinguisher, but we won't go there. I use Jim Laheys no knead pizza dough along with semolina flour for peel dusting when tossing on the stone. Once...

    First Cook on Char-Griller smoker - Mixed Results!

    Maybe I missed it, but what kind of ribs were they? I've always had good luck with spares in my offset, I've never liked baby backs. Not enough fat and they seem dry..

    Need suggestions for commercial pork rubs.

    Smokin guns sweet heat is probably my go to for pork. They also have a hot version which I don't get to use very much, too hot for the family.

    Brisket holding question.

    Have you thought about doing the ribs ahead of time and just throwing them in the fridge the day before? They reheat real well wrapped in foil on the grill. That way the day of your get together you can focus on the brisket. 12 hours is a long time to hold a brisket, I'm not sure at what point...

    Smoked trout dip recipe?

    Wondering if anyone would be willing to share a smoked trout dip recipe? I've got a ton of it in the freezer from a fishing trip to Lake Superior. I've grilled some, and it's great, just looking for a different way to use it up. Thanks.

    Another Brisket Question, Please Read

    I would smoke all the way to completion and then reheat the next day. That way you only need to take it to 140 or so instead of the normal 200+. Or yes, you'll need to wake up at 3 or 4...

    Smoke in Chamber, None on Food

    Have someone else taste it... Could be your own tastebuds are off or you are just used to the amount of smoke. Sounds like you smoke everything you eat.

    Oklahoma Joe smoker

    It may help if you use only charcoal. With wood I think temps would be all over the place, and if you are only using charcoal then there are certainly better options than an offset smoker.

    WSM 1st overnight brisket, advice please -- Weber Smokey Mountain

    It may relax a bit into a more uniform shape once out of the cryovac. I've heard some people fold the thinnest corner of the flat under itself on the smoker, simulating a thicker flat and more even cooking... Never tried it myself, I just throw it on no trimming at all.

    Oklahoma Joe smoker

    I have both the wsm and the conventional highland. Both serve thier purpose well. Want to set and forget - use the wsm. Want to be fully involved throughout the whole cooking process - get the highland. My wife thinks I'm nuts, she doesn't see it as a hobby. If you want to really dive into the...

    Advice needed on OK joe highland mods

    1. Before assembly, you may need an extra set of hands or it'll get messy. I used a floor jack to lift the firebox, worked great. 2. No idea, I think I gave it 24 hours then did my initial burn in 3. No 4. No, you will need all the airflow you can get. Only time I can see it being "beneficial"...

    iq110 for highland

    Do u use just charcoal with chunks or chips? That's about the only way I think I would consider using a temp controller with the highland, even then I wouldn't consider it very long. If you are using wood splits only there is no way you will control temps with one and get a clean smoke going...
