    Best way to reheat brisket

    So, a friend has asked me to make brisket for her wedding reception.  There is the possibility that I might cook it overnight the Friday before the wedding and just hold it in a cooler, wrapped in foil and towels.  Then, slice it after the wedding.  This would likely give me the best version...

    Advice on temp and times for whole birds

    Gonna help a buddy out and smoke about 4-5 whole birds for him for a party.  He said he is gonna shoot for 5# birds.  My questions to the masses that have done birds before are these: 1)  What temps do you cook your birds at? 2)  How long should I estimate based on the temp given in #1? I've...

    Converted my old ECB to a rotisserie

    So, I got an 18.5" WSM in Jan because my ECB was getting a bit old and I wanted the upgrade.  But, the ECB was still pretty much functional.  So, what to do with it? Well, the one thing I saved off my old gas grill that no longer worked was the rotisserie setup.  So, my buddy had a little hand...

    Soon to be joining the WSM club

    Well, after a few years using my ECB (with mods learned here) it is starting to crap out on me.  I got some unexpected money for Christmas from my grandfather, so I made up my mind to take the plunge and get a WSM.  So then I had to decide whether to get the 18" or the 22".  The ECB was fine for...

    BBQ Grillmasters

    Did a quick search and didn't see anything on this. There is a new show starting up on TLC called "BBQ Pitmasters". I believe the first one is 12/3. Looks like it a behind-the-scenes type of show on BBQ competitions. Looks pretty sweet. Edited to change the name of the show.

    Pork steak cookoff

    Well, the neighborhood cookers decided to do pork steaks this time. We've done ribs, brisket and chicken so far this summer (I took 4th in ribs, 1st in brisket and 2nd in chicken). Here was the problem ... I had never cooked a pork steak in my life. This is something I had never even seen or...

    If you are burning a bit too hot after making ECB mods, check here

    I made the typical ECB mods a while ago, and have had pretty damn good success using it. But lately it seems I have been running a bit too hot (temps closer to 300-325). I use the minion method, typically filling up the charcoal bowl and then removing about a 1/2 a chimney on one side to get...

    Beef ribs

    OK, so I have my beef ribs lathered up in mustard and covered in rub. My problem is it is extremely windy today and I don't feel like fighting the wind with my ECB. I am going to attempt to do them on my gas grill and use a foil pouch of wood for smoke. I have 4 burners, so I was thinking of...

    Couple new fatty types

    For the SB, I made up 4 fatties (sorry, no q-view). Two of them were my "usual" fatties stuffed with mushrooms and cheddar cheese (my wife's favorite). But the other two I decided to experiment with. For the first one, I fried up 3 strips of bacon on the stove. After they cooled, I crumbled...
