    Hey Guys, I just used a charcoal chimney for the first time with my Tritip yesterday, and the coals were BLAZING fire the entire time. I thought it was supposed to be a steady burn through the coals. I just used two pieces of newspaper, set it on my charcoal grate, and let it go. The fire...

    ADVICE: Need a new grill - Weber vs. Char-Griller

    Hey All, I decided to get a charcoal grill for grilling, not smoking/barbecuing. I went to Lowe's thinking I was going to get the Weber OneTouch Kettle 22.5" Grill cause I was hoping to get by with <$100 spent, but then saw the Char-Griller Smokin' Pro for $139 (without firebox). It got me...

    I made 3 racks of spare ribs for my family today, and they loved it. The racks were somewhat variable sizes, however, with thinner/thicker areas of 'excess meat' (i.e. the ends, the brisket portion, etc.), so some pieces were not as moist as others. I'm thinking about trimming my ribs St...
