    Disaster averted

    Many years ago I had a gasser that needed work. As I walked the aisles of the home improvement store with replacement parts, I began adding up the cost of overhauling the thing. Once tallied, I replaced all the parts, put a OTG in the cart and never looked back. The gasser went out with that...

    What was your first smoker ?

    2008 18" WSM that I still use after researching for a year. Picked up a second one two years later. Two WSMs serve all my smoking needs.

    SPG (Salt/Pepper/Garlic) Rub

    Most things I smoke are rubbed with only salt and pepper these days. I have simplified my approach to my food (and also have cut my carbs tremendously).

Haven't done turkey during this period. Now thinking about how to go about this, I am wondering if anyone has...

    A Logistical Question

    I don't mop when doing Mr. Brown. I find it removes more seasoning than I am comfortable with. Butts come out just fine without the mop. Can always add a finishing sauce at the end.

    Wild Card Sunday Cooks

    Today turned out to be a cooking day, even though it wasn't planned this way. For breakfast I smoked a fatty for my wife. She likes her fatties plain so I just sauteed some button mushrooms and sprinkled shredded cheddar on them. After chilling a bit while the WSM warmed up, I sprinkled the...

    Something New for Baby Backs

    That's more work (cutting the ribs) than I would probably do for a home cook, but I agree with Bob H. above that for a party that would be a nice presentation. Thank you for sharing.

    I don't usually do filet, but my goodness, that is just a gorgeous piece of meat. Thank you for sharing that . . . although I am now a bit disappointed with the pork chops that I'll be having in a few minutes. :)

    Friday Evening Montreal Steak Spares

    My sister came to townand she likes ribs. I trimmed four racks of spares this morning. I needed more charcoal and because I was under the gun on time, I picked up Kingsford for the first time in years. Came home, fired up the WSM, and seasoned the spares. I used Montreal steak seasoning...
