    Pulling a chuckie today...maybe...

    So I woke up and got the idea to smoke and pull a chuck today.  I got nothing else going on, and I think if I can get my ass to the store soon, I can be home by 11am and have the roast on by 11:30.  I'm looking for a pull apart tenderness, with an au jus from the dippings.  I usually mix beef...

I just got a WSM 18 last week, and I can't wait to see smoke pouring out.  So far, I've also grabbed a second charcoal grate to prevent falling through, some SS ties to hold the grates and...

    Maverick or Weber?

    So everywhere I look, people say the Maverick is the best. But I also found a Weber branded that looked easier to use. Is the Maverick really that much better than the one made by the company who also made my WSM18? Also, I'm thinking one probe would go through the port on the side of the...

    Finally read to smoke!

    Greetings all.  I just signed up here, after reading a bunch of topics and information.  Seems like a pretty good place to get some info and chat about BBQ. Last Saturday I dragged to the curb, my old lava-rock-converted Char-Broil gas grill that was on the property when I moved in 7 years ago...
