    Crazy good - and simple sauce!

    Ok here it is, your gonna need to take notes to remember all of this! Equal parts - Cattlemen's BBQ sauce and Italian dressing. Mix and simmer for 30 min, or until it thickens and reduces a little. Thats it, its simple and very good. I put it on ribs, brisket and pulled pork. Enjoy!  Let me...

    Brisket Cook TIme

    JBG, Thats correct, 180 is the highest setting on the LOW TEMP alarm. I would like to be able to set it to around 215 but not the way I am doing it. But it sounds like there are other options I will be exploring... Sorry for any confusion!

    any one use a kamado to smoke?

    YES! I have had one for about five years, its pretty much all I use for everything from low-n-slow to grilling. I got mine on sale (still way too much $) but it is hands down the best all purpose smoker/grill I have ever owned. Just did some pizzas on mine last night and tonight its London...

    Brisket Cook TIme

    Ron, To get a high and low temp alarm I did the following. One is very simple the other requires a bit of technical ability. Hight Temp (Simple) - A have two wireless thermometers. One gets placed in the meat, the other one is set on top of the meat to report back the temp at "meat level" in...

    Brisket Cook TIme

    I can sleep because I use the minion method with wood "staged" at staggered depth within the lump charcoal. My thermometers have low and High alarm points (I made a Low Temp" alarm from a HVAC environmental alarm control unit.) The BGE is just that easy to control. Sorry guys, hope you dont...

    Another New build Question

    To go reverse or not is still a dilemma of mine. I am thinking that right now I will go with a standard flow (I think thats what you call it) because it will save me from having to buy another steel plate to put in the grill. BUT I am going to have a charcoal rack that will sit below the cooking...

    Another New build Question

    It is cut. I filled it with water, displacing any residual fumes. Let it sit a few days full of water just to be safe. I then cut it with a saws-all with a good bi-metal blade on it. Worked fine, as I am still here! Obviously you know the danger in cutting one of these things so be careful...

    Brisket Cook TIme

    I have a BGE that I have been using to smoke brisket. Everything I have read so far says about 1.5hrs per pound. So by math math, a 14Lb slab of meet should take about 21 Hrs at 225 Deg. (Or so I have read) I am going for an internal temp of 190 deg. I reach this temp in 9 HOURS.. It has really...

    Air Flow Question on a new build

    I began the construction of what I am currently referring to as "the beast". I am building a smoker/grill out of a 325 Gal propane tank. I am thinking of using 6" pipe as the air intake as well as the vent. I will put a damper on both BUT the question I have is this: Is 6" pipe too big for...

    What is this??

    I got it too, she barked up the wrong tree with me on that one. I am a pastor who (prior to accepting Christ) was heavy into martial arts and through them, eastern religion. She got about an 8 paragraph responce.. hope that keeps her busy for a while... LOL b

    Lets all try this (Gas Prices)

    Sounds good to me. I can walk to ware I hunt and enjoy what little freedom I still have in this Great Country. (At least until the next election) I would still rather pay our gas prices then those in Europe.

    Lets all try this (Gas Prices)

    I am not a financial guru but wouldn't the remaining 10 billion still have to be reduced by the operating costs the company's require. Paying emp., keeping the lights on, insurance, retirement, benefits etc...? I know the company I work for is not near the size of a Giant Oil Company and our...
