I don't know about BBQ comps, but wings have gotten outrageous at the grocery. Legs are a much better deal price wise. I remember fighting with my siblings over who got a leg when we were kids. Chicken wings used to be cheap and no one wanted thighs. How things have changed.

Put mine in the cooler Friday evening. I need to have it thawed by Wednesday so I can spatchcock it, apply rub and dry the skin overnight in the frig. Everyone have a great Thanksgiving.

I have the open and closed marked also. It's the 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 open settings that are more difficult because the p shape doesn't seem to open in a linear fashion. Guess I'll just have to get used to it. Does anyone know why they changed it.

Does anyone else think these are harder to adjust the percentage they are opened or closed (except full open or closed) than the old style? Maybe it's just me. Bought a new Performer last year and I think they are harder to adjust than the old style. I'm not really sure why they changed them.

I use a chimney set on a patio block further away from the house than my Performer is because I don't want the smoke you get when you first light the coals blowing into the house.

This is my parents chicken recipe. I have enjoyed it countless times. They never made it any other way. The wife and I relocated 15 years ago from northern Indiana to be nearer our grown children, who all reside in the southeast. We are 70 now and my parents have both passed. The recipe was...

I dread having something shipped by FedEx.

I plan on smoking 2 Berkshire hams on my WSM for Easter. I recently watched a video where the person skinned their ham before smoking it. I'd never considered doing that before. Any thoughts, recommendations or experience on the subject?

"Invest in a good thermomoter that fits in the vent of the WSM with a grommet with a hole for the probe and you should be good." Good advise, already got and use one. Thanks

I agree that you do not need a controller for grilling. With Slow N Sear I've found the Performer performs as about as well as the WSM on long cooks except for capacity. When doing a longer cook for just the wife and I we use the Performer, just more convenient. We break out the WSM when the...

I have a Performer and a Smokey Mountain. I was thinking about getting a Venom temp controller for the Performer. Then I started wondering why. I have driven hundreds of thousands of miles without GPS or a cell phone in the past and can't drive to the grocery store without either now. I caught...

We vacuum seal and freeze our left-overs in meal size portions for the 2 of us. After defrosting we put them in a steamer with apple juice. Never drys out that way.

I use the "Roadside Chicken" recipe (can be found here). Put the chicken (usually a cut up fryer) on my Performer with a Slow and Sear. Sear the pieces skin side down on direct heat and then cook indirect at 350-400 at the lid until the internal temperature on the breast hits 170. The chicken is...

I saw the same thing this morning in our area HD. No big deals. :(

Wishing all of you a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Apple brined turkey on the WSM and a ham on the Performer. Been making sides all morning. Our youngest daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandsons are with us today. This may be the last Thanksgiving we host. It's a lot of work. LOL
