    Big Green Egg Question...

    Toying with the idea of potentially having an outdoor kitchen built with a BGE as the centerpiece for smoking/grilling equipment. I am currently a WSM guy, and LOVE it! I'm curious to know how well the BGE holds up in windy condtions. If some of you with experience could clue me in, I'd sure...

    Brisket on the smoke...trying some new things

    Got a brisket on the smoke tonight and trying a few things I haven't done before. My briskets usually turn out pretty good, but better is always my goal. I haven't smoked a brisket fat cap down before...giving that a run tonight. I also left quite abut of fat between the point and the flat...

    Ribeyes!

    I know SMF is for "smoking" meat and, for what it's worth, I did throw some oak on the grill. But...I didn't have time to properly smoke them tonight. Had to set them to the flame. Turned out spectacular! Here are a few pics... Next beef smoke will probably be this weekend. Gonna take my...

    Tri-Tip, Red Potatoes and Corn on the Cob

    Throwing on a tri-tip for supper tonight along with the fix-ins...got some red potatoes and corn on the cob in the works. I'll post a pic of all the goodness once it's done. I'm giving the WSM a run with an empty water pan tonight. Seems to be holding temp and running just fine! I basically...

    First Shot at Smoked Cheeseburgers

    Took my first shot at smoked cheeseburgers today...my family hates the "resting period" after I pull something off the smoker. Pretty stoked to see how they turn out. Next smoke, after all the hype I've read on here today, will be a fatty this weekend. If anyone has any tips, suggestions or...

    Jet Lag Baby Backs

    Spent the last 2 weeks in Japan and the jet lag had me wide awake at 4:00 this morning. What better way to spend those hours than prepping some ribs for the smoker? I'll probably spend the next week off getting more and more acquainted with my new WSM. My youngest doesn't like too much spice...

    CHEAP Brisket

    Just throwing this out there for some input... I came across some packer briskets at WalMart, yesterday. They were selling for about $1.98/lb. The thing that threw me for a loop was that they were labeled USDA PRIME. I haven't purchased a prime brisket before, I usually go with choice, but I...

    New To The Group

    Howdy... Looks like no one has posted in here for a bit, but I figured I'd introduce myself. Just moved to North Texas a few weeks ago. Left a horizontal offset to a friend in SC when I moved and stepped in to the WSM world with 22" model. Love it so far! (Living in TX and my new smoker)...

    Just occurred to me...

    Greetings from Hilton Head, SC. I have been on the site for a while now and, it just occurred to me, that I have never introduced myself on the roll call thread. I got in to smoking about 2 years ago, I guess. My Arsenal is made up of a Chargriller Duo and an electric Brinkmann vertical. The...

    Best Brisket, yet!

    Smoked a 16.5 pounder yesterday...turned out to be my best yet! Trimmed it down about 2 pounds or so, rubbed it down with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Threw her on the smoke for about 17 hours until the internal temp was 190. Foiled that puppy up and threw it in the cooler for about...
