    Low & Slow - Gary Wiviott

    Just wondering what everyone thinks about this book. I got it over the winter to read, keep my head in the game. Do people like his instructions and method. In the next week or so I am hoping to try it out (as long as I can get the WSM approval from the wife). He does have instructions for...

    Moving up to a WSM (I hope)

    Looks like winter is finally clearing here in Upstate NY. I want to thank everyone here who helped and encouraged me last year. I had a few good smokes because of all the suggestions from this site. I want to upgrade to a Weber Smokey Mountain - seems like you all have great things to say...

    Sad Day in Upstate NY - Oscar's Smokehouse

    I dont know how many of you are familiar with Oscar's Smokehouse, but here in upstate ny, the place is legendary. Sadly, on Friday a fire destroyed their operation. In a bit of good news, they appear to have been well insured and the wheels will be in motion shortly to get the business running...

    The Webber Bullet Smokers

    Glad to hear you like the WSM, that's what I am thinking about for my smoker purchase. I might have to wait until next year, having a propane grill, the Weber Kettle, and my ECB (electric) - I would get hit with a rolling pin if I brought home another cooker. Plus - with all the rain we have...

    Want to try something different with Ribs

    One of the local BBQ Joints near me : http://www.pjsbarbq.com/ use this recipe as a mop http://www.cornell.edu/search/index....acts&q=&id=132 It is non-traditional (obviously) as far as rubs go, and they cook the ribs over coals, but rather than using a smoker, they keep the ribs approx 2 feet...

    Rain Rain Go Away....

    We continue to get drenched here in upstate NY. I was hoping to have Father's Day to be able to smoke some ribs for the family. But - our long range forecast has rain (and lots of it) running right through the weekend and into Tuesday. I have only smoked Ribs and a Beer Can Chicken so far...

    Mixing Lump and Briquettes?

    Does anyone do this? It seems most people are lump fans, and I have never used lump charcoal (still a beginner). Would like to try, but I have a lot of Kingsford left and wondered if you ever mix the two? Thanks

    Crabmeat ABT's Q/Vue Heavy

    Those look great. Just a little twist on the idea - we use Olde English Cheese Spread (Kraft) with some garlic salt, crab meat and butter (with a dash of hot sauce of course. I've never made ABT's, but my first batch (hopefully this weekend) I am going to try them like that!! Thanks for the...

    Ribs & Chicken Wings!

    Everything looks great...the wings are making my mouth water. Something I have never tried to smoke - after seeing your pictures, that has to change. So you smoked the wings for 2 hours, then threw them on the grill at the end? Thanks

    WSM or Offset firebox smoker

    I currently have a ECB electric smoker. I want to go to a charcoal smoker at somepoint (I have a Weber Kettle that I am learning on). We often have family and small parties (20-25), so would an off-set smoker be too big for what I am doing. At most I would probably do 2-3 racks of ribs and a...

    Butt and Ribs on WSM Pict Heavy

    Looks great!!! We had wind and rain here in NY - not a good day for smoking, so I bagged it in favor of some cheeseburgers. I did roast a few pablano peppers for the hell of it - throw them in salads and put some on the burgers today. Maybe next weekend - Love the dog pic!!!

    Soaked Chips or Wood Chunks

    I know everyone does things there own way, but a lot of the things I have been reading suggest using Wood Chunks instead of soaked chips. They say the Chunks last longer, more smoke, so less opening of the lid (if using a kettle grill) and that helps keep temps steady and better cooking. I...

    Smoking on a Weber 22.5" - Tips

    Thanks for the responses. I do have the lift grates on my kettle, so that is a plus according to you guys. I guess my more specific questions would be : 1. When you add coals & wood chips - how long do you wait to put the meat on? Usually those coals are really hot - do you need to let them...
