    Lighting Charcoal

    It's time for me to throw my hat into this two year old ring...lol. I use cubes and they are alright but I usually need 2. I like my chimney starter but the idea of always doing things the same way is a bore. I really like those dura flame sticks made of saw dust and wax but they are a pain to...

    Perfect smoking day went bad,

    I second the idea that every thing cooks different. Last week I smoked two rack of st. Louis style ribs. At the one hour mark 1 rack was tender; I couldn't believe it . Three and a half hours later the other rack just never got there but it was time to eat, so we did. You live and learn I guess.

    My first attempt at a little brisket

    Small brisket on Thursday

    I did a 3 pounder just a few days ago, and it was my first brisket ever. I cooked it pretty hot around 300 indirect heat for 2 1/2 hours. Then put it in a covered foil pan with a mix of Worcestershire, soy, hot sauce and water. Let it stream for 2 more hours. Gave it the poke test and closed up...

    Hello from South Texas!

    Hi every body! I'm new here and doing the role call thing. I've been using/abusing a kingsford charcoal grill as my first smoker. I think I can get about another year out of it before I get a dedicated smoker or it falls apart. Also have a hand me down ECB that didn't really work. I'm usually on...
