    Nekkid Ribs

    I have been experimenting with different rubs and have failed to find any that I feel really contribute to a finely smoke rack of ribs. I bought 20 racks of BB's from a good friend in the Rest. business and going to use each and every rack to fine tune my method. Starting tomorrow... We were...

    Rib-Off 2009

    This Sunday is our second annual rib-off. Started last year when (after several adult beverages) a friend and I started talking smack about our ribs. Some of you may have read my intro where in the final stages of the preparation I got sick and did not completely finish the ribs. Needless to say...

    Charcoals added to Wood chips?

    Reading another thread, someone mentioned they add charcoal to their wood box. I was thinking the same thing last weekend in hopes of adding additional flavor and a more constant/even smoke, assuming the charcoal would add direct heat to the wood.. Does anyone else add charcoal? Thanks! Paul

    Got My Butt in a Quandry

    I smoked my first butt yesterday but I was not impressed with the outcome. I followed the sticky in this forum... When I finally pulled the meat and tasted, there was not a whole lot too it.

    (Ambitious) First Smoke

Yesterday, after a strong push from the wife, I decided to try 1) ribs 2) large ham 3) fatty... and happy to say each turned out fantastic. I have some pics I will post later after I resize them. Some...

    New Perfect Flame

    Purchased a new Perfect Flame LP Smoker from Lowes today... Plan to assemble either this evening or first thing in the AM followed by the break-in. Ideally I wanted a GOSM, but could not find one locally and the Perfect Flame sure seems to be a very close knock-off. Can't wait to try her out on...

    Smoke em if you Got em

    Hello from SC! Thought I would start out with proper etiquette and say hi before I really dig in to the "meat" of the forum... I am preparing for the second annual Rib-off and need to brush up on my techniques since I took the long winter off, grilling very rarely. Last year, I started talking...
