    First brisket on new WSM w/Q-view!

    New WSM 18 with CyberQ. Did a rib smoke to warm up my technique, and today I had to do this brisket. Been in my fridge for a bit and it was SCREAMING at me to fire up that bad boy! So this AM I fired up the rig, dialed it in to 250ºF, put a very basic salt-and-pepper rub on the brisket, and...

    Bulk spice?

    As a tangent to this question; are there significant flavor differences between, for example, McCormick small jars of onion powder and costco-size jars? While bulk sounds good to me, I have no idea if I'd be sacrificing flavor/quality for price. Anyone?

    Gaps in WSM Door Assembly

    I put in the gasket kit and replacement latch available on Amazon and it worked great. Gasket sits on middle section for lid sealing as well as another where the door closes. Very little leakage there...

    First smoke in new WSM rig

    Been smoking on a GOSM gas smoker for several years. Finally took the plunge and got my WSM 18, along with the BBQ Guru CyberQ. Thursday I fired it all up for the first time for a break-in run. Everything worked the first time and it held at 275º +/- 10º for 12 hours on less than a half-load of...

    ISO baby back rbs perfection

    Already have the hinged grate. Picked up the baskets today at HD on sale. Brining a chicken now, cut into 2 legs and a whole breast. It will go on in an hour or so. Also have another slab of ribs in the fridge. Gotta give the wife a couple days off between rib cooks. :-)

    ISO baby back rbs perfection

    I am indeed looking at a pair of the baskets. I built a couple out of HD tinfoil and punched a bunch of holes in them to let ash through and it seemed to do OK. I also used 4 binder clips to hold the lid down tighter. Worked really well to prevent air leaks there. But I did something wrong with...

    I'm at 4,000 feet elevation. Does that mean I need to increase temps or lower them? I would think increase...

    ISO baby back rbs perfection

    As per the title, I'm always in search of perfection with ribs. I do pretty good most of the time. But... sometimes, not so much... Background... Currently have a GOSM gas and a Weber 22 kettle with the 3-vane lower vent. Last week I started a slab in the gas smoker, but after half an hour in...

    Baby back ribs a little dry still

    What I had on those was more than bark. I usually get a pretty good bark, but this was excessive. Your point about the sugar is VERY good, though. I do use brown sugar in my rub and what you're saying makes a lot of sense. I may try a rub without (or with only a small amount of) sugar next time.

    Baby back ribs a little dry still

    I might try some thinner slabs and even trim off the loin part you mention. Because that's the ONLY part that's dry... Anyone else know more about this? I've heard the "extra meaty" ribs are supposed to be better, but I'm not finding that to be the case..

    Baby back ribs a little dry still

    I'm going to look into the needle valve thing. That looks promising. But short of that, I always heard you needed to do the foiling thing to keep the meat from drying out. Not the case? I tried a 3-hour smoke a while ago and the ribs got noticeably harder on the outside. I may have to do some...
