    Briquettes vs. Lump

    Cowboy is the worst...they use construction waste in their lump. I have personally found chunks of treated plywood in the one and ony bag of cowboy that I bought...whole bag went in the trash. The arsenic and glue is probably what was the overpowering factor.

    Smoker Maintenance

    I guess it would depend on what you mean by clean...My cleaning in the UDS consists of burning off the grates with a real hot fire (in another grill) and sucking out the inside with the shopvac. Thats it... but If you powerwashed it I would say you should probably give the inside a spray of pam...

    I want to start brewing but i got a few questions??

    Use to brew alot but not so much lately but I would HIGHLY recommend the turkey fryer option instead of your stove...there seems to be a fine line between proper tempature and a volcanic boil over. Also just starting out use dry yeast. It always works sometimes the liquid can be stubborn and...

    Maverick ET-73

Took them back to local dealer and money was refunded but the ones I had were junk and dealer quit stocking them ( I wasn't the only one that got bad ones). Just wondwering if they have made any...

    Graduation Party next weekend

    Thanks for all the advice guys. We were playing around with the new sealer..That thing is pretty cool. One more question, If I put a few pounds of pulled pork in each bag, then boiled in the bag to reheat to serving temp how long should it take?

    Ever get tired of cooking to other peoples tastes?

    I think I am more critical of my 'Q' than the people that I cook for... I am always asking "is it too this or not enough that". Over the years I have learned by asking that you can't please everyone all the time. In general I find most women do not like spicey and most men do not like sweet and...

    Graduation Party next weekend

    Haha I wrapped up the vacuum sealer as a gag gift for my Wife for Mom's day and (to my surprise) she loved it! Said she had been wanting one for a long time but didn't want to spend the money (I'm not saying a word). She was so happy she didn't even whine about the new 100gt igloo marine cooler...

    Graduation Party next weekend

    Well I didn't have a vacuum sealer when I posted this, but I do now. That just sounded like a much better idea than what I had planned. I have been wanting one for awhile, just needed a good excuse. Thanks

    Graduation Party next weekend

    I have been asked to make my pulled pork for sammies (they are a big hit) for my Niece's graduation party. Gonna do four 8# butts. I want to cook and pull a day or two before the party. After pulling I would put in aluminum pans and store in fridge. Reheat in oven before party in same pans...
