    Smoking on a Weber Compact vs Classic/Premium/MT

Now after half a year of only having Brazilian BBQ (Churrasco) I am growing a little bit tired of only...

    BLT - Kettle Style

    Good morning fellow Q'ers. I was kinda jealous after seeing @civilsmoker Beef rib post. Not because of the ribs (Although they looked great), but because of the fresh tomatoes. We don't have a garden, but our neighbors do, and their tomatoes haven't ripened yet. Since I was out and about...

    Kettle Yard bird with the Vortex

    Another cook with the new toy. I had not done a beer can Chicken in at least 5 years. Since getting the Vortex and seeing posts about using it for Infer-red cooking, I thought I would give it a try with beer can chicken. I put a foil pan under to catch the drippings and keep the kettle clean...

    Vortex Wings

    @SmokingUPnorth pushed me over the cliff to go ahead and buy a Vortex for my kettle. Last night I gave it a shot with wings. The first batch I put on too early and/or pulled off too early and they were good but not as crispy as I wanted. 2nd batch, off the wall! I really wish I had not waited...
