    1st crack at wings on the WSM

    My son was sick today so I had to stay home with him. I decided since I didn’t get a chance to smoke anything over the weekend, that I’d give some wings a try on the WSM I’ve been learning over the last couple months. As this was last minute, I decided to just work with what I had as far as...

    Long start up time on WSM

    I’m trying to figure out why it’s taking so long for the thick white smoke and charcoal start up smell to clear on my 18” WSM, usually 2+ hours after adding the lit coals to the unlit (minion method). Here’s my typical process: get about 8-15 coals (embers from Home Depot) going in a large...

    Is a mailbox mod necessary for an AMNTS in a propane smoker?

    My wife is asking for things to get me for Christmas, relatively inexpensive, so a new smoker isn't a good answer . . . for now ;). So the first thing that came to mind was an AMNTS for my 24" smoke vault. I've been on a mission lately to find a way to get continuous TBS and avoid the "campfire"...

    Weber Mastertouch vs. Smokey Mountain

    I've decided my 24" smoke vault needs a friend and what better friend than a charcoal smoker? I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Weber Smokey Mountain (18" or 22") or the Mastertouch and am looking for some advise from anyone who has (or has had) both. A little background on my...

    Tough Bacon, What did I do wrong?

    Finishing up my first batch of bacon and am noticing that the bacon is pretty tough, as in difficult to bite through. Has anyone experienced this? My first thought was that I may not have sliced them thin enough. I am doing it by hand with a knife, so the slices aren’t perfect, but they seem to...

    Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Medallions

    Got the idea from something I saw on tv the other day. I was pretty happy with how they came out considering I was kind of winging it as far as smoke time, getting the bacon crispy, and setting the sauce without over doing them (though they could have been done a tad less). I didn’t think to get...

    smoked tri tip just like brisket

    Let me start with why, on occasion, i smoke tri tip like a brisket instead of just smoking a brisket. I know tri tip is not easily found in most parts, but here in Southern California you can pick it up at just about any grocery store. Brisket is more difficult to find (but getting easier)...

    Ideas for a “bbq/smoking area” in a back yard

    So I’ve got a small area (about 12’x10’) in my side yard that I’d like to make my bbq/smoking area. My question to you guys is, what DIY “bells and whistles” and/or necessities should I consider putting in this area? A little more description of what I’m working with . . Currently, it’s just...

    Anyone heard of the Coyote Asado Kamado style grill?

    I have an opportunity to get a pretty good deal on one, but can’t seem to find any “real” reviews on them. There are a few blog type reviews where people were given one for free, but a) they are obviously biased and b) all of the good things they say about it are pretty generic to all Kamado...
