    Lump, Briquettes or Wood for small smokers

    I thought briquettes were bad but I see a lot of people are using them. I know match light and anything like that is out. I've only used some briquttes in the chimney to get the lump started. The only wood we have easy access to in quantity is oak, not sure I want that as my primary source for...

    Fresh Gag Grouper on the grill

    I took some friends out fishing Wednesday and had an awesome day on the water. Perfect weather and this day the fish cooperated. Tonight, no turkey leftovers, grouper on the grill. Nothing fancy, marinate in some zesty italian salad dressing and slap it on.  Here is a pic on the hoof so to...

It was 6.5 pounds (boneless) and took right at 12 hours to hit 200 and I took it off. I did wrap it at that time in foil and...

    BB Ribs - when are they really done?

    I have a Char-Griller with a side fire box and am using a Taylor Weekend Warrior remote thermometer. I have cooked BB's twice and both times they turned out excellent but took much longer than 5 hours (using the 2,2,1 method with foil). The first time they took about 6.5 to 7 hours and...

    Greetings from Florida

    Hello all. I have been poking around here for a few weeks and have already gained some good info. I have a Char-Griller with the side fire box and my two first attempts have been very good. I've checked out the E-Course which was very helpful. Looking forward to learning and eating! Matt
