    Cleaning Grates

    So I discovered that the easiest way to clean my grates for my 22.5 WSM is to throw them on my gas grill and give them a good brushing when hot. Anyone else done this? Btw, cleaning grates is my least favorite thing about smoking.

    Saving raw rubbed ribs

    Thanks for the confirmation. I saw in a TV show where this chef seasons then vacuum seals everything. Good news is the wife is feeling well and the ribs are in the second leg of 3-2-1. Game on!

    Saving raw rubbed ribs

    I rubbed down some ribs last night for the SB tonight. Now my wife not feeling well and we may cancel the party. Can I vacuum seal and freeze these for a later time?

    Rib Rub question

    I use the "Rib Rub Seasoning" from Frisco Spices.  I think it is just local to Omaha, NE but you can order on their website.  Generally I add about 1 part black pepper for every 3 parts prepared seasoning for ribs and pork butt. http://www.friscospices.com/spiceblend.asp

    Pork Butt on Weber Kettle

    Anyone ever smoked a pork butt on a weber kettle? I think it should be easy enough. Kind of last minute for some tailgate activity tomorrow. Don't want to fire up the WSM for one butt. Any experience and/or battle stories appreciated!

    Need a Wing Sauce Please!

    +1 on the Frank's Hot Sauce and butter. I drizzle olive oil on the wings then dust them with 2 parts gran. garlic, 2 parts sea salt, 3 parts pepper. Then I grill them, direct heat to get a little char and a nice crisp. If you wanted a little different recipe, throw together equal parts of bbq...

    Texas vs. Nebraska

    The game was exciting, but unfortunately NU came out on the losing end. All I can say is "This year I am thankful for the kicker."

    If you could only have one knife, what would it be?

    Don't laugh but these are two of the best knives I have ever purchased: http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/nav...=5&item=419467 Used Chicago Cutlery and Wustof as well...but you can't beat the value.

    Fridge vs. Freezer

    I smoked up a bunch of pulled pork on Friday for various upcoming events. One of the events is my buddy's bachelor party on Saturday. Is it safe to keep this PP in the fridge for the week or should I freeze it?
