    Fatties - 1st impression

    I've smoked fatties a couple of times using Tennesee Farm and Jimmy Dean brand sausages, and for the most part, they've turned out well. One time it came out a bit dry, but the last time I made them, after a couple of hours in the smoker, I added apple juice to some foil and rolled them up and...

    Influences and reflections??

    Hi Lolis, thanks for taking time to answer our questions. Let me tell you, I loved your book! It was the first narrative on BBQ that I had read, and since then, I have been trying to find more books that address BBQ in that style. Now, you mentioned this project had its beginnings after...

    Styles of Q

    Hi Ray... love the book! Anyways, being a fellow Chicagoan, I'm interested in what regional style of BBQ you like the most and try to emulate in your cooking. Do you find yourself blending certain aspects of these styles in your cooking? Thanks! Randy C.

    Chicago WSMers FYI

    Jeff- I've only gone there once and I think their BB ribs are ~$3.79lb. I have heard their beef isn't that good, but i didn't really check it out. It is on Lake, just a block or two east of Ogden. Randy C.

    Smoking with aluminum pans???

    Hi folks. Quick question... who smokes pork butt, brisket, etc. using an aluminum pan to hold the meat? I guess that would keep the juices right there basting the meat, but does it make a difference in cooking times? In your opinion, does it turns out noticeably better? Thanks, Randy C.

We went to Fiorella's Jack Stack in the freight district, Oklahoma Joe's, Arthur Bryants at the Ameristar Casino, and Danny Edwards. We tried a bunch of stuff but a few things stood...

    Need help with future brisket flat

    The flat did have a fat cap. Oh... the flat was in 2 pieces. This was the first time I have seen it this way from Costco. Maybe I'll try a whole brisket next time. Matt- I also did my 1st pork butt this weekend and it turned out decently. It could have been a tad juicier, but decent...

    Need help with future brisket flat

    Hi everyone. This weekend I smoked a ~5lb brisket flat. I've done this before with decent results. This time though, I had it on the top grate of my WSM and the lid temp was ~260 degrees and the internal temp was 185 within 5 hrs. It came out with a good taste, nice smoke ring, but was...

    Favorite Wines for BBQ?

    I love to drink wine (i.e. Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir), but for BBQ, I usually opt for Newcastle Brown Ale, Guinness, or Sam Adams (my favorite domestic beer). Art R- Goose Island Summertime is a great beer! I love that stuff. Hey... did you see the new Sam's Wine and Spirits in your...

    Kansas City BBQ recommendations?

    Hi everyone. I'm heading to Kansas City in the next month for about a day or 2 and wanted to get recommendations for good BBQ joints. I have heard of Arthur Bryant's and Danny Edward's, but what do you recommend? I can probably only go to 3 to 4 restaurants at most, so tell me where you would...

    Brisket

    Would there be any difference in the way you would cook a 4-lb brisket flat or would it just cook faster? Just wondering because the Costco I go to seems to carry only this size and cut of beef brisket. Thanks, Randy
