    Smoking / BBQ shows to stream (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, PBS, etc)

    I watched all the Franklin on PBS too. Thanks for the tip on Project Smoke. Watched one of those last night. Also really like How to BBQ right on YouTube. Lots of good info on his channel.

    Just so I'm clear, is RO Ridge 100% hardwood charcoal?

    Royal Oak Chef's Select?

    This is really helpful and explains why I've been a fan of the Kroger brand briquettes for years.  In fact, it validates that I need to go with my experience and not pay too much attention to brand.  I buy them at both Fred Meyer and QFC especially when they are on sale.  They have never...

    Royal Oak Chef's Select?

    That's very helpful.  At $4 per bag, that's even cheaper than the Chef Select I found at Cash & Carry.  I will need to make a trek to Lowes and pick some up.  Unfortunately Lowes recently closed their shop in Bellevue.  I'll need to drive to their Renton store.  I went to Home Despot today and...

    Some smoking experience but starting all over on a new rig!

    Welcome, Brian.  I'm new here as well.  That looks like a solid smoker.  Great job with the build and tutorial.  Can't wait to see what you turn out on it.

    Royal Oak Chef's Select?

    We grilled salmon on the chef select tonight and it came out with a nice woody flavor.  Went by Cash n Cary today and they're out.  Hope they can get more soon.  Is the chef select much different than the red bag?

    Nate's Jalapeno Cornbread

    Here is a shot of the blackberry cornbread.  Definitely going to make this again as a seasonal item when the berries are ripe.  It was a big hit with the family and made for a tasty snack later in the evening too.  (Tropics thanks for the help with the picture upload.  I couldn't get chrome...

    Royal Oak Chef's Select?

    How's your brisket going? I am now a fan of the Royal Oak chef select. These ribs taste nice and smoky without a hint of that petroleum taste. I highly recommend this charcoal if you can get your hands on it. It worked well in the UDS. I wrapped the rips in foil after 4 hours and gave em...

    Royal Oak Chef's Select?

    So far so good. I'm really enjoying the aroma from this royal oak charcoal in combination with the mesquite and some alder me and my son cut up from a fallen tree here in our neighborhood. This charcoal was easy to light with my chimney and easily got the UDS up to 250 before I turned down the...

    Royal Oak Chef's Select?

    Thanks for the insight!  I will try it today and report back.  It was only $9.99 per 20lb bag at Cash & Cary.  I hope I like it because for that price, it would be my new go-to charcoal.

    Royal Oak Chef's Select?

    I've been reading on the forum that Royal Oak wood charcoal gets high marks.  So I picked up this 20lb bag at Cash & Cary this morning and it's labeled "Chef's Select" 100% Hardwood Charcoal Briquets.  Has anyone used this particular kind of Royal Oak?  Curious if I got a good one or if this is...

    Very nice UDS.  You will get many years and good smokes out of that baby.

    Nate's Jalapeno Cornbread

    OK now you've got me wanting to try putting blackberries in mine.  The blackberries are ripe all over my neighborhood here in Washington state.  I've been noodling on the idea of putting a half cup of them into a cornbread.  I could probably back off on the sugar just a tad when I do this since...

    I will have to try that with the cast iron.  Thanks for the tip!  I am also a big fan of cooking on cast iron.  When I seer things, burgers, steaks, etc, I typically do so on a cast iron pan or skillet.
