    Where to find lump charcoal?

    I too live in Knoxville and have no problem finding lump coal. Pretty much the only place you won't find it is Wally World, Target and/or K-mart Kroger has their own store brand and it works fine (and priced nicely). I think the other grocery stores also carry lump. Ace Hardware Hearth &...

    New Charcoal chimney

    Sounds like somebody's been watching Good Eats w/ Alton Brown A small, tabletop grill also works great. Keep your eyes peeled for some season end deals. I found a few at grocery store a few years back. Seems grocery stores have to really discount their seasonal stuff to make room (I picked up...

    New Charcoal chimney

    Weber makes some fine products for sure. I've been using an old coffee can w/firestarter cubes.  Works fine for me, but ain't perfect.  Can't move the hot coals...just gotta start the coals in the spot you need them. I do have an el-cheapo chimney that's been hanging in there for a bunch of...

    Beef back ribs??? Advice anyone??

    I typically use a more savory rub (something similar to what I'd use on a brisket) on my beef ribs. Then, I cook them pretty much the same way I cook pork ribs (low n slow until they are tender).

    I haven't been to HD this weekend, but it's pretty common for them to run these charcoal deals during the summer holiday weekends (memorial, 4th & labor day).

    Comp chicken testing...we think we have a winner

    I've found that most folks are too proud to take somebody's exact recipe and use it. Sure, they might pick up a pointer here and there, but ain't nobody really going to follow anybody else's recipe.    Besides, it takes a lot of practice even with a good gameplan and recipe.   Imagine:  "We...

    Crock Pot Liner

    Interesting and timely. I just finished my first BBQ beans on my smoker yesterday.  No real recipe, just some canned beans, leftover pork, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, onions & lil bit of mustard. I put a lil too much sugar in them, but I loved the flavor and texture.  It's definitely going to...

    How do you keep your smoker looking new "externally"

    Mine is stainless steel, so I use those stainless steel appliance wipes.  Works great. I've also heard of folks using Barkeepers friend cleaner.

    Reheating Ribs

    I usually wrap in foil and reheat in low oven. I've also nuked them with good results.  Just make sure you wrap them in damp towels or something.
