    St. Patrick's coming up

    Looks and sounds great. It’s officially here now so Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I just put the brisket on the smoker and hope to have it sliced in time for the NCAAs. I tried a “quick” dry rub cure that I hope will resemble corned beef. I’ve got a Harp in hand for your Guinness and have to...

    Dry turkey brine questions

    I'm going to remove the packaging, trim, and clean the turkeys. Should I let them rest in the fridge overnight before brining or apply the brine immediately? I'm going to get them going this Saturday, so I have a few days to work with. I won't rinse off the brine.

    Dry turkey brine questions

    Happy Thanksgiving I'm going to dry brine turkeys this year. Do I dry the birds in the fridge overnight before brining, after brining, or both? How long should I dry brine? Do I rinse off after brining and if so, do I let them dry after that? Thanks a lot!

    Pit Boss 820

    All right, I tried it again. We bought my Mom and Dad an 820 from Lowes last weekend. They messed up the delivery, so I went to pick it up. They assembled it but it was supposed to be in the box. They spent 45 minutes trying to find me an unopened, unassembled 820. That was Thursday night...

    Pit Boss 820

    Thanks guys. I think I'll try some Lumberjack pellets as soon as I can get some. If that doesn't work, I'll try a tube. I can't believe I miss the charcoal taste!

    Pit Boss 820

    I've had the grill all season now and love it. For Oktoberfest, I've always smoked a great big pork loin on my homemade vertical charcoal/wood chunk smoker with fantastic results. I did it on the pit boss this year and wasn't as happy. The prep was the same but the taste was a little boring...

    I have room for a small one, but often use a kettle.

    Adding a side burner for boiling beer and onions, brats

    I just got a Pit Boss 820 and would like to be able to boil beer and onions , etc. when grilling. Has anyone added a side burner to their pellet grills? I'm kind of thinking an electric induction hot plate might be the easiest and safest way to go, but there isn't any fun modification to do to...

    looking for a marinade recipe

    I should've known that was coming. It does taste well mixed with 7up. Will the wine dry it up?

    looking for a marinade recipe

    I am smoking my first chuck roast Friday because it will be 50 dg in January! I'd like to use some of my cranberry wine in a strong marinade because it is better suited for that than drinking. Are there any suggestions? Thanks.
