    Jeffs Meatloaf is the Bomb!!!

    Smoked meatloaf is a staple 'round here; twice a month!! I do have to ask though. Is that canned asparagus I see on your plate??

    Having trouble finding a brisket

    Can't help the OP but it looks like they've found a butcher for their needs. http://www.bjs.com/general/locator/map_directions?locationId=018 I've been able to find flat's @ BJ's pretty reliably. Granted, they're smaller (4# to 6#) and no whole packers, but I'm there fairly often anyhow. Also...

    Another Chuckie question

    My wife always asks me why I take the time to take pictures of some of my smokes but none of the kids. My answer is always that the kids move faster!

    North East Smokers, hope you're ready for the storm!

    Started snowing here in Worcester County (Mass) 'bout an hour ago. Butt's are at 180 with a full load of RO in the basket. Current temp outside is 22 and the snow's a'blowing to the side. Almost wish I had picked up some Jalapeno and thawed a Jimmy D. Dang I'm hungry! I jokingly told my wife...

    My Web Search Took Over My Browser

    Just another nod for running a non-Windows OS such as Linux. Ubuntu and Linux Mint are fairly easy for newcomers, with Linux Mint having more media options (such as mp3) from the git go. For those on Windows uncomfortable with switching their OS, using Firefox or Opera as suggested is the next...

    Sloppy Joes

    What, no cheese? In my book, you can't have any meat on a bun without cheese! Sounds good otherwise and I'll have to try it on the smoker next chance I get.

    Kegerator Pt. 3 (Final Chapter)

    Just for the record, my kegerator has been filled with water and Gatorade since my son was born. Daddy could sure go for a good pint ;-)

    Kegerator Pt. 3 (Final Chapter)

    This is exactly why I stopped using frosty mugs; too much head! My beer is cold enough, I don't need a sweaty glass mucking things up!! Then again, I don't mind drinking lagers straight off the shelf. And I don't mean the shelf in the fridge... Last time I filled my tank, it was CO2. I can't...

    Goodbye Kingsford

    I use R.O. for everything. If I've smoked with a few chunks of wood and there's some leftover, I'll toss the full ring (I smoke with a Weber Smokey Mountain) of lump and wood into the kettle and use that the next time I grill. The little lady really seems to enjoy when I grill with a bit of...

    Goodbye Kingsford

    Only thing that stinks is people up here seem to think grilling and smoking is a seasonal thing; no place local to get R.O. after July. The three closes Walmarts are out, all the local hardware shops are out, and none of the lumber yards carry it!! How in the world will I get by till next...

    How Much Kingsford in my Fire Box?

    Ahh, here it is. Want to try the minion method? Two coffee cans with no bottoms/tops. One in your fire box and one to light with. Fill your fire box about four deep around the first coffee can (depending on how big your box is. some use one chimney of unlit). Take your second coffee can and...

    Newbie Fire Box Charcoal Question

    So your link goes right to one of the sub-forums. What's the question?

    Goodbye Kingsford

    Honestly? Every now and again, say every fifth smoke, I have trouble getting temps high enough with even lump. Lump isn't the "end-all, be-all", but it sure as hell is a step in the right direction. Nice going on the switch from Kingsford to R.O.!!

    Lump versus Charcoal briquettes

    I've taken to using a benzOmatic torch for lighting my WSM and grill. Works like a charm! Although, not quite as fast as this method ;) I buy Royal Oak at Walmart. $5.27 for a 10# bag. I've also been known to use a briquette made by Royal Oak (cowboy or something like that) when cooking on the...
