    Democrats for Guns!

    I'm guessing that was supposed to be a dig at liberals. Not ALL liberals are vegans you know. I consider myself a liberal/progressive, and obviously I'm a big fan of eating meat. And the fact that this guy would prefer to have an animal suffer rather than allow the officer to put it down makes...

    Roast beef for Christmas dinner - need some help

    Well there are other reasons for not smoking. Supposedly the family is not as big of a fan of smoke as I am. Plus I'm not too eager to be sitting outside tending the fire for several hours. I hate to admit I'm a bit of a fair weather smoker. I'll smoke in the rain, but not the snow. How much...

    Roast beef for Christmas dinner - need some help

    Actually I did intend to get a rump roast, but Costco doesn't sell them and so top round won. To be honest the goals of it being able to be shredded without actually being shredded was set by my mom and she's trying to replicate a recipe my aunt made and we don't have access to. I could care...

    Roast beef for Christmas dinner - need some help

    So it's been determined that we're having roast beef for Christmas dinner this year and of course I've volunteered to put it all together. Now this won't be in the smoker since my little offset doesn't hold temp in the winter, so I'll be cooking it low and slow in the oven. I've had my own ideas...

    Labor Day Menu????

    Well we're havin a little get together that saturday, about 30 people, so of course I have to cook up some BBQ. 6 slabs of baby backs, 24 italian sausages (which I sadly won't be smoking, I am simply out of room on the smoker), 36 wings, which I'll split up so it'll be more like 72 wings, 12...

    Labor Day Weekend, What's Ya Smokin'

    You must be english, judging by the way you spelled "labour" day. Well the actual meaning of the holiday I'm a little fuzzy on and can't be bothered to look it up...but it's pretty much the unofficial end of summer. Not to mention it's a 3 day weekend, so plenty of time for smoking. ABT=atomic...

    Italian Hot Sausages

    I only cook with the cheap beer. I have no problem dumping 4 cans of cheap beer into a marinade, only to be tossed down the sink. But I just don't have the heart to do that to good beer....seems like such a waste. hehe

    First Smoke/Spare Ribs w/Qview!

    Wow. Now those are some nice lookin ribs. Makin me hungry. Surely this can't really be your first smoke? I think I saw apple chips at Lowes. I got mine from Menards, but you might not have any around there. There needs to be some sort of nationwide smoking specialty store, haha.

    First Q-View - Drumsticks, baked beans, and corn on the cob

    Well if they come out drier I'll consider it a good thing. I was surprised by how watery they were. Still good though. So I will give that a try next time....and I'll probably drain the pineapple too, haha. Hmm, didn't think to spray them down. They cleaned up ok though. I agree, it's great...

    First Q-View - Drumsticks, baked beans, and corn on the cob

    I had seen that mentioned on here before so that's exactly what I did. Now I know I must be on the right track..I probably just needed to leave some of the tougher ones on a bit longer. And yes the leg/wing rack I found at Lowes. I went in for a couple digital thermometers, came out with 3...

    First Q-View - Drumsticks, baked beans, and corn on the cob

    Alright so the title pretty much says it all. Here's some pics before cooking: Chix was marinated overnight in olive oil and a few other things, then rubbed and let that sit for a few hours while I made the beans and got the fire goin. Smoked on hickory/apple and spritzed generously...

    Fattie Throwdown 7-18 Thru 7-20

    For this fatty entry thread, are progress pics required? Reason I ask is that I won't have anything ready Friday morning...gotta work and all. I planned to cook Saturday to get it in by the deadline. I'm also curious about more than one entry as well...I know I'll certainly be making more than...

    Having a hard time getting to 225F

    I think I'll need to make a trip to the hardware store this weekend, haha. I'll let you all know if it works. For all I know I could have been at the right temp all along and the factory therm is wrong.

    Smokin in Chi-town (that's Chicago BTW)

    Well thank you all for the warm welcome. Yes, another lurker bites the dust. I've been mighty tempted on my last smoke to actually take some pictures, but I was a little too eager to eat as well. haha. There wound up not really being anything worthy of showing off. But assuming the weather...

    Having a hard time getting to 225F

    Ok, so first off, I have a Char Griller Smokin Pro, with firebox, no mods. Yes I did remove the football shaped piece of metal from the smokebox. My problem is I'm having a hard time getting the temp to 225. First smoke I did ribs, and had no major problems. The heat did run out a bit too early...
