    Best Ribs I Ever Ate

    Sorry about the no Q-view. My strategy was to do 2 butts, but while I was in the grocery store, I realized that if I timed it correctly, I could have some ribs ready for lunch! Woke up at 6AM, the meat was on the Char-griller by 7, and the baby back ribs were ready for noon. I did a 2.5-.5-2...

    2-2-1 Variations

    Thanks for the advice, yall. I foiled for 90 minutes. They fell apart a little bit. So I guess, for me at least, it should be 2.5-1-1.5?

    2-2-1 Variations

    Thanks. I just poured a little Miller High Life in there. I guess I'll leave em foiled for 90 minutes.

    2-2-1 Variations

    I've got 4 racks of babys on the smoker + a butt. I'm rolling with the 2-2-1. I understand some of you like to modify this approach. I read somewhere here that if you foil babys for 2 hours, that's too long. What are the negative results of foiling for too long? Thanks

    My Smoker is Stuck at 120*

    That's cool, cause when its snowing in April, it is absolutely beautiful down here. I like to complain about the heat, but I'll take extreme heat over extreme cold anyday.

    here's how a chimney ought to look!

    Just bought a new Weber chimney today! My old one rusted out on me. I was happy, cause the old one was some crappy generic version that didn't have the good airflow of the Weber. I wanted to replace the old one, but couldn't justify buying a new one when the old one still worked. I was so...

    Weber replacement handle - What do you think?

    There is a fine line between clever and stupid!

    Chargriller

    Smoking on it right now! Paid about $250 for it a few months ago at Lowe's. $75 seems like a steal to me. Buy it and bang out a few mods (lower the chimney, make a baffle, and fabricate a grate for the firebox) and you're good to go!

    Brisket $$$

    It was a 8 lb. flat. And yes, it was trimmed. The selection was not great. It was either the 8 lb flat or the 19 lb packer! I'd happily pay 1/2 the price and trim it myself!

    Brisket $$$

    I just paid $4/lb for brisket here in New Orleans. Whole Foods wanted $5/lb and a mom & pop place wanted $4.79/lb. I thought brisket was supposed to be cheap?!?! What do you all pay?

    Quick Brisket Question

    Smoking my first brisket tomorrow! I'm going to place the meat in a foil pan and smoke it to 170* (I'll flip it twice before it hits the magic temp). I understand that I'm supposed to wrap it in tin foil and cook it till about 190* Do I just put some tin foil on top of the pan, or do I...

    Need advice and encouragement for July 3 smoke for 100+

    I have absolutely no experience, but I'll add my 2 cents: 1. Make sure you got a lot of sides. That's what those all you can eat buffets do. Fill em up on the sides, just in case there's not enough Q. 2. Enjoy the process, cause most people aren't gonna know if you did a good job or not...
