    GrillGrates

    Has anyone used these things yet? They are AMAZING! I asked for the starter kit as a gift for Fathers Day, after reading about the product on AmazingRibs.com (a great site, btw).  I love them so much I just bought a 3rd grate from them, to expand the surface area that I have. They produce...

    Internal temp chart for the "Reverse-Sear' ??

    Can anyone give me a link, or provide?  Looking to know what internal temp to take steaks to in the smoker, presuming a quick (1-2 minutes on an extremely hot gas grill to reverse-sear) finish on the grill? I prefer my steak "medium," but wife likes medium-well and the kids well-done.  I'd like...

    What type of Paprika and Chili Powder do you use in your rub?

    Having pretty much gotten the whole "3-2-1" thing down now (I do "2.5-2-.5" for my baby backs), I'd like to take my ribs to the next level by using fresher spices in my homemade rub. Someone referred me to SavorySpiceShop.com, which seems to have a great selection, but that's my problem.  There...

    Wings Not Crispy Enough

    Absolutely NAILED my Super Bowl babybacks (3 hours in the smoker @ 225-240, 2 hours foiled in the oven @ 225, 15 minutes to finish 'em up on the grill), but was really disappointed in the WINGS. They LOOKED great, and were throughly cooked, and had a nice, smokey flavor.  The rub (kosher...

    Tray to catch charcoal ash and protect wood/patio deck?

    Would like to place a large, square (or rectangular) pan underneath my vertical smoker to catch the ash, make cleanup easier, and to protect my wood deck or pool deck when smoking.  I'm thinking that Lowe's or Home Depot should probably carry sort sort of aluminum or stainless steel shop pan or...

    The Classic 4th of July Compromise

    I've been DYING to smoke some ribs for the 4th, but my daughter reminded me that I've been PROMISING to make her chili for nearly two months, and that during that time I'd made baby backs (my son's request, and mine) TWICE. Then of course, she did what most girls do, and she batted her eyes at...

    Smoked Pork Greetings from Florida's First Coast, by Way of the Birthplace of the Weber!

    Yep.  Grew up in Arlington Heights, IL, and used to deliver pennysaver newspapers to the old Weber-Stephen plant there on Hickory Street.  My uncle Frank had one of the first Weber kettles, and my dad used to stand in line when the warehouse would hold annual sales, and buy a bunch o' Smokey...

    "3-2-1" -- I'm a Believer!

    Been wanting to try the "3-2-1" method for about a year now, but somehow kept fighting it, thinking that "ribs baked in foil in my oven" just was sacrilege or something, LOL.  I normally smoke (baby-backs) for about 4-6 hours, depending on how much time I have that day, and then finish 'em for...
