    PSA: Check you equipment!

    Just a friendly reminder to always check that your equipment is in good working order. Decided to fire up the WSM this morning, got her up and going and couldn't get the temp to come up. I wasn't going to use the fireboard drive today, but without thinking I rigged it up cuz I'm sleep deprived(2...

    Dan's house, Dan's grill, why the discussion. Shut up and get fed or run your mouth and starve 😆

    Small Butt and some Babyback

    Got up super early this morning and made a drive to pick up this haul. I'm thinking of doing this one low and slow until ready to push out of the kitchen.

    Pulled Pork on the 7 in 1

    I picked up the Masterbuilt 7-in-1 20qt on clearance a while back for $75. I've used it 3 or 4 times with mixed results, I think it has a bit of a learning curve compared to smaller air fryers. I decided after seeing some pork butt cooks on a FB group that I'd give it a go. Started with a...

    Shaker Recommendations?

    I'm looking for storage shaker recommendations for rubs. I've generally been using old spice containers relabeled for my custom rubs, but I finally broke down and ordered the 8 pack lot of Kosmo's rubs and need some containers/shakers to store/use them in.

    *Sold*Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro*Sold*

    I have a brand new unused Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro with the 18" auger for sale. Was going to do a fridge build with it, but decided against it. I'm south of Kansas City, Kansas about an hour. Paid $400, dropping the price down to $350. Great price for a project build, just needing to have it...

    Shipping Meat Question

    So I have a buddy that has been on my butt about making him hungry every time I post pics of my food on Facebook. Last night while chatting he told me he'd pay for the meat and shipping if I'd send him some. This is well out of my knowledge base, and figured I'd see if anyone here had some...

    Porkstrami Test - Round 1

    So just over two weeks ago the word PORKSTRAMI flashed into my head. I was so shocked that I hadn't thought, seen, or heard of this before. I immediately got to work doing some research. I found a few threads here, and a recipe or two elsewhere, so I set to work. I don't inject/brine my stuff...

    Chicken Brine Question

    So I found @pops6927 thread on brining whole chickens. I've never done any brining, and more often than not I do thighs, but occasionally I do breasts and halves. I like the idea of this brine because I'm currently keto so CARBS-R-BAD! But not having any brining experience I'm curious about the...

    Barbecuetiful Kansas Day

    So I didn't have to work my real job, or cook for a BBQ job, or even do yard work this weekend. So that meant I could lay around and be lazy and not do anything this weekend. But the beautiful thing about working BBQ is that even when I just want to cook for myself, I can always call it...

    Pork Butt

    I got a custom order placed for meat to feed 60. Easy enough, and a small enough cook I can use the WSM rather than the gravity fed monster. Rubbed and plastic wrapped the 50lbs of butt last night. I don't necessarily think the overnight impacts the flavor. For me it's more of a timesaver. Got...

    Pollo Recipe Help

    So there is this food trailer that is in KC, that pretty much every time I'm up in the city I stop buy and get some of their pollo and grilled jalapenos. I don't know what it is about this chicken, but damn it's so good. It kind of has this yellowish-orangeish charred skin when I get it, and the...

    Qwick Trim Fat Trimmer

    Stopped by the KC BBQ Store today because I was in the area. Mostly just to window shop, and see if there was anything that I couldn't live without lol. On my second pass around the cooking gear and gadgets I spotted this. The Qwick Trim fat and silverskin trimmer. Almost started laughing like...

    Deckbox

    I'm moving some things around on my porch where all the equipment is stationed, and I somehow managed to end up some extra space. I've been wanting to get a deckbox to stash charcoal, chimney, sealed up probes, extra grates, etc. But I think I'd like a seat style box so I can sit out and enjoy...

    Stupidity

    Was browsing imgur today and came across this. I can't even deal with how dumb this is. Honestly, this is what keeps me up at night thinking about first time cookers trying their hand at this hobby. They find this crap info and turn out something horrible, and then just give up completely. That...

    Catering Contracts

    I'm going to start doing more catering gigs, and would like to protect myself and investment. Any other caterers willing to share the contracts they use for events. Or does anyone have any thoughts on how I should draw it up. I was considering have a "save the date" deposit, that is refundable...

    Opinions On Small Gas Grills & The Weber Spirit II E-310

    So I've been thinking about adding a small gas grill to my collection of cookers. I love my 22" Weber Kettle, but sometimes I just want to have something quick grilled up in 10 minutes, and with charcoal that's just not an option. I've been looking at different gassers and came across the Weber...

    Vintage Market

    My cousin has been hosting a vintage market 3 times a year, for a couple years now. She tried for the first couple events to get me to come sell food, but I wasn't ready at that point. I have however been to her last two, the latest of which was Saturday. I did a burnt end dinner with beans...

    Brisket Loss

    How much weight loss do you guys normally account for on a brisket before trimming and cooking? I did two up yesterday, keeping track of my weights because I need a decent figure for a large event I'm doing in a few weeks. 1 2 Starting: 9.63lbs - 13.72lbs Trimmed...
