Smoked Wings On A Sunday
Saturday I bought some chicken wings, cut them up into party wings and added a homemade rub for a treat on Sunday. I put them on my BGE at around 275- 280 with maple and oak for the smoke for about 2 hours. I then deep fried them for 2 minutes in peanut oil and put on a little bit of BBQ... -
2nd Attempt At Ribs On BGE Lots of Qview
I got my large BGE last month and have used it several times. Last weekend I tried spare ribs for the first time. The ribs were a failure. They tasted fine, but were really tough. So no wanting to throw in the towel I decided to try again. This time I bought a rack of St. Louis style ribs... -
Tried Smoking a Whole Chicken on my BGE
I decided the second thing I wanted to make on my BGE was smoked chicken. Saturday afternoon I put the chicken in a brine made of water, salt, sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, tarragon, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. This morning I pulled the chicken out of the brine and used a store bought... -
First Big Green Egg Smoke-Pork Butt
I picked up my new large Big Green Egg yesterday and promptly picked up a pork butt. The pork butt was about 6 lbs and I smoked it between 230 to 240 with cherry wood. I brought the pork butt up to 200 degrees and it took about 15 hours. The stall took forever. The pork tuned out well though... -
To Wrap a Pork Butt or To Not Wrap A Pork Butt
I'm hoping the Big Green Egg I ordered last week will come it this week and I will be able to pick up this weekend. I'm thinking of making a pork butt for my first smoke and am trying to decide if I'll want to wrap it when it hits about 160 degrees F or just let it sit until it makes it up to... -
I'm Getting A New Smoker/Grill
After months of researching all the different types of smoker and smoker/grills I finally came to a decision. Yesterday I put my deposit down on a new large Big Green Egg. I went with the Big Green Egg for several reasons: 1. Support a local small business. I am purchasing my egg from small...- grange

Sliced Brisket VS Chopped Brisket.
I stopped at a local BBQ restaurant and ordered a brisket sandwich. I was asked if I wanted it sliced or chopped. After ordering I was talking to the cook and asked if there was a difference between the two types of brisket sandwiches. He said the chopped comes from the point and the sliced... -
Smoked Chicken Wings: Either a Hit or Miss, Some Q-View.
I had family over tonight for some wine tasting and we all agreed to bring over a hors d'ouerve. I decided to have smoked chicken wings. I bought whole wings and made party wings myself. I decided to make my own rub instead of using a store bought rub or a recipe. I used Mexican chili... -
Smoke Ring on Ceramic Smokers?
I am looking to upgrade my smoker since I have found myself really enjoying this activity so I stopped in a Grill and BBQ Specialty store to see what's available locally. I talked to the owner for a while and we got on the discussion of making BBQ in the winter. My limited experience with my...- grange

Found some Black Cherry
I was up north working the dogs on wild birds and cutting firewood for the cottage and home when I cam across a nice dead and dry black cherry tree. My parents and I split the wood between us and I will be chopping it up for smoking. I also got some darn nice oak that I like using as well.- grange

Smoked Beef Arm Roast with Q-view
I decided to smoke one of the two beef arm roasts I have in my freezer. I pulled it out of the freezer Friday night and realized that it wouldn't be ready by Sunday by thawing in out in the fridge. So on Saturday I did what I don't like to do and let it thaw out on the counter. Saturday night... -
The Silver Lining of a Poorly Smoked Brisket.
Well I tried smoking my first brisket (flat only) last weekend. Things didn't work out very well. It was a windy day so I couldn't maintain a steady temp. After some wild temperature swings I couldn't stand any long and I pulled the brisket at 162 degrees F, wrapped in aluminum foil, and put... -
Bought My First Brisket And Have a Questions
I bought a brisket from the butcher this afternoon and have it in the refrigerator for Sunday. I asked them for a small brisket mainly because I knew it would be cheaper and considering this is my first one it won't break the bank if it doesn't turn out. Anyway my question is how many of you... -
My first Smoked Chicken Q-view
I tried chicken for my second smoke and it turned out fantastic. I recently bought a Maverick ET-73 remote thermometer and used that for the smoker temp. instead of the thermometer on the smoker. As you can see from the picture the smoker thermometer was off as much as 80 degrees F. The... -
My Maverick ET-73 Is Being Delivered Today.
I wanted to get the ET-732, but since I just started smoking I didn't want to spend more on a thermometer than I did on my smoker. From what I've read the ET-73 is still a good thermometer and for less than $34 it is a decent deal. I figure that when I graduate to a nicer smoker I'll get a...- grange
