Hi my name is Brad Maisel. We took our daughter to the ER on April 8th, for what we thought was a migraine and turned out to be a tumor the size of tennis ball at the back of her brain and on the top of her...
I recentley won 2 new Butcher Blocks at a auction. They are brand new and have never been used.
However, I have been given conflicting advice on how to season them from some of my friends. So I thought I would ask my friends here on this forum.
So, what is the best way and what should I use to...
Well, I decided to try my hand with pork butts.....and they came out AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
I rub'd them down the night before, covered and refrig.
I am using my "kettle to the god's" WSM 22.5. Got up at 4:00 a.m. this morning and fired up the good girl.

Hello everyone,
It has been a few weeks since posting, but I am so excited I wanted to tell someone. I smoked some ribs for my daughters birthday this weekend, then 2 chicken's on Saturday and the smoker out preformed itself!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a perfect day, weather was good considering here in...
Thought I would ask, I just fired up the new WSM and was wondering some things:
1. Use the drip pan not use the drip pan?
2. Hot or cold water in the drip pan
3. Seal the door, I played with a little and it looks like it can bend a little to seal up better
4. Good brand of thermoter?
And...

Hello All,
Because of doctor's orders, I have to cut salt. Does anyone know of a different brine other than using kosher salt?
I have had real good luck with water and kosher salt but I have to change.
Hope these pictures come out. I thought people were kidding when they said "Ribs will pull off the bone"
I took some of these up to my wife's work for lunch and one lady actually tried to pay for them!! I told her they are free while I am learning.
Thanks to all you guys that gave me tips and...

Well, I am trying to decide if I should go with a 18.5 or a 22.5 WSM. There is a difference of price of $100.00
I mainly just cook for the family and small get togethers, maybe a total of 6 -8 people. The other side of the coin is bigger is better in Texas.
I would be the "RIb's Meow" but just...
Hello All,
I am looking into doing my own UDS, however I am having trouble finding a barrel. The only one's I can find are from a tile store and it contained "marble resin". The company b/c of city code has done a 3x rinse, do yall think it would be safe? We are currently under a burn ban and...
Hello again,
I am looking at building my own UDS but locatinga a barrel is harder than I thought, I was looking up what WSM - meant and relized it was a pretty good looking smoker. WIth a UDS I have to go through everything but it looks like the WSM has everything just a little pricer that a...

Hello All,
I bought a New Branufels smoker (at Academy no less) last year and have really enjoyed. One thing that I noticed is for what I paid $150.00, it does pretty good. Invested in a good thermoter, seasoned it right, and have had good luck with picnic roasts. My questions is this:
1. I...
