    Getting a hog butchered....what cuts?

    What variety of pig...? I bought and had butchered a Tamworth pig last year and can pull up the smell of that ancient fat pig meat when I need to. I also bought a nice part of a Berkshire Hog in November from a guy in N. Carolina. Fantastic flavor, takes me back to the smells of my...

    Using coal instead of charcoal or lump?

    Its the best way to heat an outdoor pizza oven though, but it has to be a specially built (side draft) oven so that the inside of the oven is heated by the hot burning coal and the fumes do NOT go on the food. Some of the most highly rated pizza places in this country still use coal fired...

    Breads on the Barbie.

    I made pitas for last nights "Greek Night"... wonderful stuff, the smell of that too hot pizza stone, the logistics of keeping 4 pitas quickly turning and baking in 2 minute cycles, the steamy smell of that puffed up part-whole-wheat envelope stuffed with Tzatziki and lamb... just heaven...

    Breads on the Barbie.

    Yes, but why don't you whip up some good home-made flour tortillas? Nobody gets them right the first time but by the third time you make 'em you will be the star of the party. I am guessing you meant buying flour tortillas though you didn't say that..? I am a fan of home-made pizza, and...

    Breads on the Barbie.

    This is a place holder for some detail about baking bread and general baking on either a ceramic cooker ( BGE, Primo, Kamado, etc.), or in a non-ceramic or gas fired outdoor oven, grill. I don't yet know how many days I have to edit this post, so I may have to respond to myself to get the info...

    I spent quite a bit of time editing to find those good FACE pictures, I musta taken 400 pictures that day. The one kid in another shot, has the knife but the guy doing the butchering wasn't sure he wanted the kid in there. The kid finally got to take a couple cuts and went away with bloody...

I bought my first Weber 22 1/2" in 1967 or so and have been a charcoal-only outdoor cook since that time. I have a handful of...

    Smoking Overnight

    Draft controls are the easy answer. Go on to BBQ Guru's site and get you one of those new-fangled, digital controller and the smallest fan they sell (for your WSM) and you are set. DigiQ II all the way... get an adaptor for your WSM, set the pit temp to 200º-215º, set the meat temp to 190º...
