So my brother in law has an annual chili cook off contest with the family & neighbors. Two years ago I won on a whim with a regular chili but it was crazy hot with habaneros. Last year I won with a smoked pulled pork chili with chipotle peppers. This year I wanted to try something different...
I've been wanting to try a smoked tri tip ever since I received Jeff's newsletter describing his smoke of this cut of meat. I live in a somewhat rural part of North Carolina so I had a challenge finding someone who knew what a tri tip was, never mind finding someone who could order one for me. ...
I call this one epic because of the time it took for these butts. I wanted to try a couple of pulled pork chili recipes so the first step was to make some pulled pork. I got 2 butts weighing in at a total of 14.25 pounds. I shot each one with some pork butt marinade, then covered them in...
Today I smoked the entire Memorial Day feast. We had baby back ribs, a side of wicked baked beans by dutch, and smoked corn on the cob. I made a few modifications to the baked beans recipe which was well received. The food was awesome. The Mrs was very pleased and is looking forward to the...
The Mrs. picked up a couple of packages of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and I thought I'd try the Myron Mixon cupcake chicken method. Each package contained 5 thighs so I had 10 in total. I rubbed them with olive oil, kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper. I took a couple of 6 cup...
I smoked some beef short ribs this weekend for the first time. I started with about 2.3 pounds of beef bone in chuck short ribs. There were only 4 of them in the package but each one was pretty meaty!
Friday night I rubbed the ribs with yellow mustard and coated them in Jeff's rub. Saturday I...
Thanks to all of you my first butt was a complete success! I picked up a 4.5 lb bone in pork butt from my local grocery store. Friday night I injected it with 3/4 cup of apple juice, 1 TBS of worcestershire sauce, and 1 TBS of Jeff's Naked Rib Rub. Then I rubbed the butt with yellow mustard and...
So I was smoking my first pork butt yesterday (Q-view to follow in the Pork section) and thought while the WSM is chuging along at temp I may as well throw a fatty on. The Mrs. picked up a pound of sweet italian chicken sausage so we decided to use that. I combined the meat from the links and...
The Mrs. got me a boneless, skinless turkey breast, at least she thought it was a turkey breast. She got it from Wal-Mart and the wrapper said "Includes Dark Meat". Both of us were a bit confused by this but I'm sure you guys will pick out the dark meat in the pics. Guess it was a pressed...
Had to do something for the Superbowl. Thought ribs would be a given. Bought 4.5 lbs of baby backs, rubbed them with yellow mustard and Bad Byron's butt rub. Smoked them for 1.5 hrs, then foiled for 1.5 hrs, then unfoiled and covered in sauce.
Tried a couple of new "mini" fatties. Made then a...
New Year's Eve was supposed to bring us cold rain so I decided to attempt my first chuckie on the day before New Year's Eve. It started with prepping the roast on the 29'th so I could smoke on the 30'th.
I started off with an Angus Beef Chuck Roast...
I kept things simple by rubbing the...
So the day before New Year's Eve I smoked a chuckie. I was cleaning out the WSM the next day and noticed this brown residue on the inside of the top cover and on the inside walls of the center section. Does anyone know what this is or what causes it?
Residue in cover...

Hey guys - I'm trying to do my first chuckie and I'm having problems getting the temp down in my WSM. I started with Cowboy Brand lump charcoal. Filled the chamber to about 1/2 full and added two small chunks of white oak and two small chunks of hickory. Then I put a small layer of charcoal over...
Merry Christmas to all.
To everyone who posted in the Pork section regarding baby back ribs - thanks! I did a ton of research on this site to make sure my first attempt at ribs came out good and man did they ever taste great.
To "The Dude", thanks for the refresher course on the Minion...
After seeing all of the Qview in the Fatties section I knew I had to try it. Last night I made a breakfast fatty and a bacon cheeseburger fatty. The breakfast fatty was filled with scrambled eggs, homefries, and shredded chedder cheese. The bacon cheeseburger fatty was made with 90/10 ground...
Hey everyone,
I've been enjoying the forum for the past 3 or 4 months and now it's time to introduce myself. I'm Tom from North Carolina. I have an 18" WSM that I've been experimenting with for awhile now. Some things have turned out good, others - well they were somewhat edible. Hey, I'm...
