    Beef Brisket Flat

    Greetings All: I am doing a 6.5 lb Brisket flat on my Weber WSM 22.5 smoker. I normally bring the entire brisket to an internal temperature to 195 before wrapping and resting. I am smoking for 2 1/2 hours at 245/250 and then going to wrap for another 3-4 hours. Should I bring the flat to the...

    Pork Loin with Jalapeno baked beans

    Just an update my my cook today. The porkloin was well trimmed leaving just a bit of fat cap and weighed in at 3.75 lbs. I injected 3/4 cup of apple juice, apple cider vinegar, and 2 tblsp brown sugar. It was liberally rubbed with a garlic pepper blend I have been toying with. I smoked at 245...

    Smoking Chicken w/other meats

    Thanks Dave. Off to the butcher shop to get some goodies. It finally warmed up in Buffalo this weekend. Instead of low teens with wind and snow, we have 35 and mild. Perfect for getting the smoker out. Have a great weekend! Bob

    Smoking Chicken w/other meats

    Greetings: I see some posts and recipies that have chickens being smoked with other meats like pork and beef ribs. Besides standard food safety precautions while handling the poultry, and washing my utensils and cutting boards, should the chicken be on the lower rack in my WSM 22.5 or onthe same...

    Maverick Model ET-732

    That temperature difference seems alot. Chris Allingham from the virtualbullet website notes in his tests that the dome temp is 12-15 degrees higher than at the surface of the top cooking grate. The temperature differance from the top cooking surface to the bottom cooking surface is 4-10...

    Maverick Model ET-732

    I did likewise and purchased the Maverick ET-732 and an extra set of 6ft long probes. They shipped from different locations but both arrived safely yesterday. The (AAA) batteries that came with the unit worked but I chose to replace them with some energizers that I already had. I also picked up...

    Greetings from sunny Buffalo, NY

    Greetings to all the folks in Rochester. Just a hop, skip, and a jump down the 90. I always meet folks at he Bills games from Rochester during our tailgating parties. There are also better BBQ places in Rochester although Buffalo is starting to catch on. That's one of the reasons I started...

    ECB Temp Control

    Hi KMP, I use the ECB and have the same issues and have been playing around with some options. It's winter here in Buffalo (12-18' F) and I usually limit my meat to ribs and chicken due to the ECB low temps.  Lump charcoal is not really an option as it takes up the majority of the small ECB pan...

    Greetings from sunny Buffalo, NY

    Hi Lance, I had drilled out the charcoal pan and put in a grill grate with about 3/4 of an inch from the bottom. That has helped and I am sure in warmer weather with no wind I would be close to 210 - 225. I maintained 195 in our 18 degree weather this week in Buffalo. I am painting my living...

    Greetings from sunny Buffalo, NY

    Thanks for the tips guys. Today was a day off and I took a ride out to the our local BBQ supply house (Adventures in Heat) eagerly wanting to pick up the WSM. Much to my surprise, it was closed today. Maybe they took and extended holiday and many businesses were closed yesterday. I'll start...
