    Smokenator

    Using a Weber Kettle 22.5, I've never had a need for one. You can smoke on the kettle right out of the box. Lots use em and love em though.

    Cold weather cooking

    It's not a major weather event unless someone in the family is outside tending a fire/meat. 18 below is where my record stands I believe. Steaks for 10 or so folks in almost 3 feet of snow. 14 more inches fell as we were finishing the steaks.

    Help with temperature on my smoker.

    Temp is a direct result of the amount of fuel and airflow. The more you have of either/both of these elements, the hotter the fire. By contrast, the less you have, the lower the temp.  Because you can control it, I would look at the fuel aspect of it first then look at ventilation if this is...

    how long does anyone get out a13# bag of kingsford ona long cook?

    Minion method and Chips ( didn't have any Apple chunk on hand) I even open the lid about every hour that I was up and hit it with Apple juice so there are temp spikes for sure. Nothing real tricky to be honest, I just get the kettle dialed in and it stayed at around 215 - 230 on its own. Saw it...

    Pulled Pork in a Crock Pot?

    This was never an issue when I was living in Apartments. I suppose they found a way to save on the insurance... Sucks that those of us who are responsible have to suffer for the "lowest common denominator."

    Question about Smoking multiple butts - how to calculate the expected time on the smoker

    Thanks for the feedback.  Will always go by internal temp, just want to be able to allow for enough time for it to get there. If I allow for 2 hours per pound, I know when to start really eyeballing IT instead of smoker temp.  I only have a single probe therm so it has to do double duty.

    Question about Smoking multiple butts - how to calculate the expected time on the smoker

    We're still eating on it.  True Story: The boy ( going on 10 months old and just cut his third tooth) was a bit cranky when I got home last night. Got the meat out of the fridge, gave him a hunk of it, and he wanted more. We stood there eating meat for awhile.  he wasn't cranky anymore.   and...
