HOLY COW ! (Brisket, actually) - Q-View
This was the first brisket I've ever done. I have always been wanting to do one, but have always shy'd away from them because of all the talk about how tough they can be to get them to come out good. Well my son bought one the other day and wanted me to smoke it, so I figured since I have no... -
Had to smoke some turkey
We found a sale on some turkey breast a couple of days ago. (.99 cents a pound) So we picked up six of them. Now, turkey is just about my favorite food, but I have never smoked any before, so I had to try it. I decided to try a store bought rub because I didn't feel like making one myself. I... -
First "Chuckie" attempt w/QView
Strayed into new territory today. Never tried smoking chucks before, but we had a couple in the freezer so decided to give it a shot. I didn't get all the photos I wanted to because my Grandson took my good camera to the zoo without telling me. Had to use the Wife's little point & shoot which I... -
To inject or not to inject...
I have two chuckies that I want to smoke. Never done any beef before, so I was wondering how to go about it. Is it recomended to inject a marinade? Would it add extra flavor, help tenderize the meat, or just be a waste of time. Also, what about a rub for beef. Any suggestions as to what to use... -

Two lessons learned this morning
Well, I decided to smoke a couple of butts today. Last night I got the smoker cleaned up and ready to go. While I was doing that I decided to raise the charcoal basket a little higher in the firebox. My thinking was that it would put it closer to the level of the opening to the smoke chamber and...- papad

Frontier Brand lump charcoal
Was at the local Sam's Club yesterday and of course I had to see what they had for charcoal. There was a huge stack of Frontier lump in 40 lb. bags. The price was only $14.95 which I thought sounded pretty good. As a comparison, the Kingsford briquets were the same price for a package of two 20...- papad

No BBQ For Me For Awhile
At the time of this photo, they were predicting another 8 or 9 hours and 6 to 8 inches more snow before the storm moves out of the area. I had to force my dogs to go out (they absolutely hate the snow). The wind is supposed to pick up pretty good in the morning and start the blowing and...- papad

New TV Show
Don't know how many of you know about it yet, but I just saw part of a commercial for a new show on TLC. Thought it looked like it could be fun to watch. Here's a couple of links I found describing the show. http://www.patiodaddiobbq.com/2009/1...rs-on-tlc.html...- papad

Here goes...First butts
Picked up a package of butts at Sam's a few days ago. This will be a new experience for me. About 15lbs. for the pair. I don't know what the individual weights were, but one was a bit larger than the other. Well, here it is about 5:00am and it is cold and dark out here. Quite windy too... -
These will be my first butts...a few questions
Is it nessesary to foil them? If not, How many of you do it anyway? What are the pros and cons of each way? These will be my first ones and I want to get it right. Thanks for your help. -
Spares with some Q-View
Finally finished the mods on my smoker. Figured I might as well try it out. Here are some of them trimmed, rubbed and ready to be wrapped and put in the fridge overnight. Got up about dark thirty (2:00 am) to try and get myself motivated and get the smoker up to temp. As you can see, the... -

getting rid of it
I'm going to be smoking 9 slabs of spares in the morning. I assume there will be a lot of grease in the bucket when I get done. How do you guys go about disposing of it? I can't see just pouring it down the drain. That's just asking for problems. You can't throw it out in the yard or pour it... -
Well, I've put it off long enough
I wasted the whole summer. We haven't smoked anything all summer because I wanted to modify the smoker first. Did a lot of grilling, but no smoking. For some reason I just didn't have the ambition to get it done. Well, I finally got started. I made the firebox baffle and the tuning plates over...- papad

Decisions:
Hi, all, I am going to buy a couple of thermometers for my Brinkmann Pitmaster. I've been looking at a Taylor. http://www.4thegrill.com/tay814.html Is that a good brand? I'd rather buy a couple of Tru-tel's, but they are quite a bit more expensive. I'm working on a budget so I want to try to...- papad

Howdy, from the West Coast....of Iowa
Well, I've been around here for a while now doing a lot of reading. I bought a Brinkman SNP about eight years ago, but never really knew how to use it properly. I wasn't having much luck with it, so I more or less quit using it to smoke with and just used it as a grill. Now that I've found this...
