    Just Popping In...

    I haven't been around in a while. I changed careers, and have a lot less time on my hands lately. I have only been able to smoke once since the beginning of October. I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a big 'ol... MERRY KISSMAS and a HAPPY CRÃœE YEAR

    Hats off to SmokyOkie

    I jumped on the bandwagon and tried the SmokyOkie searing method. My searing left a little to be desired. All I had to do it on was my gas grill, but it got the job done. Now I have an excuse for a second Char Griller. Let me tell you what, this thing is delicious. I had to cut it in 1/2" slices...

    You can tune a piano...

    But you can't tune a fish. And you can easily tune a Char Griller. I purchased (3) 6 x 18 steel plates at Lowe's. 22 gauge if memory serves me correct. It's amazing how a 1/4" movement in the plates, makes a huge temp difference. I ended up with one plate up against the right wall. I just...

    Today's Smoke

    I figured I would break the new Char Griller in properly. Got up at 4 a.m. and got everything going. At 5 a.m. I put on an 11lb. brisket and 2 butts and fatty. After while I will be adding 3 slabs of baby backs and some corn. Should be a fun day. I will post some pics later.

    Good Brisket Write Up

    I found this by accident on the Virtual Weber Bullet site. It's a few years old, but I found some of the tips in here great. Especially how to not go by internal temp alone. It talks about how if you cook at lower temps, your brisket will be ready at a lower internal temp. If you ccok at higher...

    Finished my mods to the CG

    Yesterday I finished the mods to my new CG. First I did the dryer vent on the smoke stack. Second, I made a charcoal basket out of expanded metal. I bought a 24" X 24" sheet at Home Depot and cut 6 x 6 squares off each corner then bent the sides up. (Saw that in another thread here) I then cut...

    Double Butt Smoke

    Well, it's been a while since I posted a smoke. I smoke almost every weekend, I've just been so busy it's been hard to find the time to share. I picked up a double pack of pork butt at Sam's. I rubbed them down and let them sit in the fridge and get all happy overnight. I tried Jeff's mistake...

    Sirloin Tip Finish Temp?

    I wanted to do a few butts this weekend, but once again, Sam's didn't have any. I did pick up a 9 lb. tenderloin and 4.5 lb. sirloin tip. I have never smoked a tip before, so I was wondering what temp to cook it to for the best results. I will also smoke a few slabs of baby backs and probably a...

    Baked Rice

    I've been meaning to put this on for a while. I have never seen anyone outside of my immediate family cook this. It may be around, but everyone usually looks at me like I'm nuts. This recipe is easy to size to your needs. 2 sticks butter 2 cups rice 2 cans beef consumee This works best cooked...

    My Turkeys

    Here's the required food porn. Smoked a 11.5 lb turkey and an 8 lb. breast. Brined the whole bird overnight. The breast was in a solution so I just smoked it. Brushed both with olive oil and smoked at 250 for about 4 hours. Then turned up to 350 to finish them off. Very deilicious.

    Must eats in Houston?

    The wifey and I will traveling to Houston tomorrow. We will be rocking out Sunday night at the Mötley Crüe / Aerosmith concert. I've never been to texas and was wondering if there were any Q joints that were a must have in the area.

    Today's Smoke

    I was up early this morning. The rain finally cleared out and I am 'a smoking. Today we have (2) six lb. butts and a seven lb. flat. It's time to restock the freezer. I gotta keep my storage levels up. We're going to Disney World in about six weeks. There will be an ice chest packed with all...

    Not new, but a fresh start

    I've been here for a while as Mystickal_1. I have decided that name no longer fits. I started with that name on an ECHL hockey board back in the mid 90's of the Mobile Mysticks. It was originally The Mystickal One, but eventually I just shortened it. That team has been gone for 5 years now and I...

    Brisket By Request...

    I just threw my second brisket on. I guess my first one turned out better than I thought. We were at Sam's Friday and the wifey stopped at the meat counter and said I should get another brisket. As picky of an eater as she is, that made me feel good. She used to tell me that everything we eat...

    My first brisket today

    Well, today is the day I finally smoke my first brisket. I got a 6 lb. flat at Sam's. Since we have never done a brisket my wife insisted I also smoke a butt in case the brisket sucks. In my opinion if your going to smoke one butt, you might as well smoke two. here's the pics after all had been...

    Natural Gas GOSM?

    Has anyone tried to convert their GOSM to natural gas. My grill is natural gas. It is hooked up with 12' hos and a quick connect. I would love to convert the 'ol GOSM so I can get rid of the propane bottles.

    My Babies

Sugar 8 oz Seasoned salt 2 oz paprika 2 oz chili powder 2 oz black pepper 1/2 oz garlic salt 1/2 oz onion powder 1 oz cumin This is for bulk, so I cut it down considerably. This is actually Disney's rub from the Flame Tree at...
