    Bradley racks

    Anyone have a good online source for Bradley smoker racks similar to the ones I see Jeff posting in his newletters?  I've tried locally and all they want to do is sell me the whole smoker.  Any assistance would be appreciated. ~Dave

    A Helping Hand

    Once again, winter comes either raging in or is someone else's problem.  It's tough for all but especially so for the senior citizens who are no longer able to help themselves during these stressful times.  What we might consider just a little snow or ice may be a mountain to those who may have...

    New Groups forming every day.

    Well, practically not every day but they're forming up.  I wandered over to the "Forums Groups" and noticed that we're getting quite a collection of special interest groups.  I've also noticed that some members, both old heads and newbies are apparently reluctant to jump on the bandwagon and...

    Groups, groups, groups.....What about us?????

    With all these new groups popping up all over this site, it's hard to keep up with which one is which.  BUT I didn't see one for WSM's.  Now I saw one for UDS.  I joined the GOSM group because that's where I started and my GOSM holds a special place in my outdoor kitchen.  WSM owners unite.  We...

    Dedicated to all the Old Pharts and the Cruisers

    I've seen the ages of many of this sites members and I know for a fact that this will take many down a very nostalgic trip into our youth.  If you had your drivers license in the '50's and '60's, you were very popular.  If you didn't, you knew somebody who did, because you wanted to be cool...

    A Groaner for Sure Stop me if you've heard this one

    After Quasimodo's death, the bishop of the Cathedral of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer was needed. The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process. After observing several...

    I just did my 3rd major smoke last night .  Here's the details of that smoke. WSM 22.5 Charcoal Ring:  Full to rim with Kingsford Comp. Small Can in center for reception of hot charcoal.  Can was filled to top.  Tall tomatoe juice can, by the way. WSM brought up to 200*, all vents wide...

    Where's that Snoopy happy dance when you need it? A WSM is on the way

    SWMBO has granted permission:  A WSM 22.5 is now in the immediate future (like maybe Thursday).  My SIL has a connection and we'll have it shipped to his house (my temporary quarters for a vacation, until they can't stand us anymore).  I expect to have this unit well smoked and broken in before...

    Getting ready for the Colorado Family shootout

    Got to get some cheese ready for Colorado. I left out the part about cutting up the blocks of cheese.  Today I smoked up  blocks of Swiss, Sharp Cheddar, pre-chopped cubes of Med Cheddar, slices of Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack.  I cut the large bricks of Swiss and Sharp Cheddar down into cubes...

    More Grilled Tomatoes

    All I can say is erain made me do it.  I just had to try out his suggestion for grilled tomatoes.  My variation is that I used Mexican blended cheese (that's what I had on hand) and some fine chopped bell peppers (the rest of the peppers ended up in the dehydrator, waste not, want not).  Meat...

    Variation of Dave Omak's Party Snackies

    Was inspired to do something similar to Dave's smoked summer sausage favors for his poker night crowd.  Cash and Carry had some packages of sliced pork roll and of course, I just had to try something with them.  I used the same technique Dave did, that is:  smoked at 225 with apple smoke applied...

    Char Siu aka Chinese Barbecue Pork

    This is a follow-on to Festers and DaveOmaks Char Siu experiences.  Dave expressed some concern about getting some smoke into the pork in a cold smoke manner, then proceeding.  Since my wife devours the store bought version, I figured I'd get this sorted out and see what it's like when the...

    COSTCO Brisket ID help please

    Ok, now's the time for some ID help.  Saw 3 of these "Briskets" in the COSTCO meat aisle.  I've snapped several Vues to hopefully get enough help to tell me what this is.  I suspect that it's a flat, but......it's only 6 lbs +.  The other briskets I've seen, both on this site and in another...
