    What to do with ashes ?

    Sorry, but I tried to do a search about ash. My question, it would seem fine to spread the ash from a side-fire box over the lawn. There isn't anything in it but just burned charcoal & wood. Wouldn't this be good for our yard ? Just wondering.

    Burgers question

    Tommorow I'm going to grille some burgers (ground chuck) on my gas grille. They will be hand made patties. I've never figured out how to know when they are done (not burned & not pink in the middle). Is there a sure way to know when they are done besides of breaking open one in the middle to see ?

    My 1st smoke.....

    Well, I smoked a 14# brisket (wife wouldn't let me cut any fat off it) on my new Char-Griller with SFB on the 1st.
