    Oakridge BBQ Quitting Business!

    This is a terrible shame. Mike sent out a email yesterday notifying his customers he is closing shop on 12/31 this year or when his inventory runs out. Mike cited reasons as the terrible economy and product sourcing which is only part of and masking a problem that started about a year ago...

    Expiration on pink salt?

    Just found a open bag of DQ curing salt in the back of one of my cabinets. Guess it may have been there 3 years or more. It looks fine and is not a big lump of salt it was inside a zip lock. Still good to use or should I buy fresh? Got a nice Cheshire pork belly about ready to come out of the...

    Blue Rhino Razor portable griddle

    I've been deciding on which griddle I want. The Camp Chef was high on the list as is a Big Johns. The Camp Chef isn't really portable which is important to me and the Big Johns is uber expensive but I know it's commercial grade quality and built to be portable and take the abuse. I know because...

    Smithey American made cast iron

    Would you pay $200 for a 12" cast iron pan? That's what these guys are getting. I have a beautiful old 12" Griswold that I just love. But the old stuff is getting hard to find and if you do they want blood for it so in that sense paying $200 might be reasonable? I doubt I would sell my Griswold...

    Boos Blocks

    I need a new carving board. They type with the pyramid cut in the center for holding large roasts, turkeys etc. when carving. I had a very nice one but I misplaced it 2 years ago and haven't replaced it yet. They aren't easy to find. Boos makes them and their cheapest one is $175!! Yikes! Snow...

    Fire in the hole!!!

    Had a fire break out in my offset yesterday! In all my years of smoking I never had this happen before. I had 4 briskets on at the time but fortunately they were in foil pans and covered otherwise I would have lost them I'm sure. I happened to notice a lot of smoke coming from my exhaust which...

    If someone asks you to grill 80lbs of chicken wings...

    Don't!! I feel like I was hit by a truck today! I did a grad party yesterday and the grad requested chicken wings. I guess probably 200 people showed maybe 225. Besides chicken wings I provided Swedish meatballs. For these I went to a restaurant that a friend owns and he did up 2 pans full for...

    Is turbinado sugar a direct replacement for brown sugar?

    Does it act the same way as brown sugar in recipes? Will it dissolve in Dutch's beans like brown sugar does? Does it impart a different flavor when used in larger amounts. I'm making a large amount of Dutch's beans using 2 #10 cans which means about 4 cups of brown sugar. I have a large bag of...

    A couple mods to the AZ BBQ outfitters vertical

    I had a local fab guy do some mods to my vertical over the winter. First I had him add another exhaust to the right side of vertical in hopes of creating a more even draw. AZ BBQ Outfitters built it with one exhaust mounted on the left side. I should have picked up on it when I looked at the...
