    3-2-1 mush?

    I've had a lot of luck using the famed 3-2-1 method of cooking ribs (I do spares almost exclusively) but my problem is that by the time I get to the 1 part the ribs almost disentegrate when I pick them up. I've forgone the last step on more than one occasion and invariably my ribs come out the...

    Beer?

    I've read a lot about people filling a spray bottle with AJ, whiskey, cider vinegar, and other stuff in various combos. I was wondering how it would taste if I did the same with some beer. No mixing, I'm not that ballsy yet, just straight up. On the same note, I'm having trouble deciding what...

    Thinking about trying stick burning

    I'm wondering what kind of techniques you stick burners out there use when it comes to stick burner smoking, I'm really unfamiliar with the concept and would love to give it a try. I'm not sure how expensive it will be as I live in an agricultural area near the beach there's not really a high...

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro

    Anybody have this smoker? I found one at Lowes for $119 and the smoke box is sold seperately at about $57 for a total of about $176. From the pricing I've done online, this is at least $10 cheaper than even the manufacturers site. I've found nothing but good reviews on it and now my final step...
