    Char-broil 14202002 Electric.

    Hi, question about my new smoker.  A little about me first..... I have smoked meat in water smokers for a few years now.  I understand what is too much smoke, and why  "Thin blue" smoke is what to strive for. That said.  I've used my new smoker twice.  Each time the meat was perfectly cooked...

    Lodge cast iron Sportsmans Hibachi Grill

    Have one being delivered tomorrow.  It's pre-seasoned.   I know nothing from cast iron cooking.  Do  need to do something to it before the first use?  On my other grills, I scrape the grill screen, then spray it with Pam before I put it away.  Is that going to work with cast iron? Thanks

    Drums and liners

    A lot of folks come by asking about drums. I thought opening this thread might be helpful, and I'm curious myself. What I'm wondering is about unlined drums. What kind of liquids are shipped in unlined drums that are also not a health risk? And what type of business might have some? Because of...

    Texture

    I don't wrap my ABT'S in Bacon (yeah blasphamy, I know) The texture is always slightly mushy, and they don't look appealing either. I smoke them around 235* Next batch I'm going to try higher temps. Just wondering if anyone smokes them at 300 or so, and how they are?

    Omaha Steaks Q-view

    Got an Omaha steaks gift package from my company as a way of saying thanks for giving up so many weekends to work this summer (and the project is only half done ) There was a lot of stuff in the pack, and I did the 4 Sirloins tonight. They were very good, although pretty small (5oz) When I...

    Some of us Weber kettle users know Don, as the inventor of the "Smokenator." I got this email a few minutes ago: On August 4th, 2009, Don Thompson, the inventor of the Smokenator, passed away from cancer at the age of 60. He left behind a wife of 23 years, a daughter, step-son, and...

    Omaha Steaks

    Got some Omaha Steaks as a gift. The cut is "Beef top Sirloin Steaks." I normally marinate or tenderize steaks from the grocery store. It's been many years since I've had Omaha, and wanted to see what others would do. I will grill them med rare, but don't want to spoil a good piece of meat...

    Afterburner and propane in general

    I just got a propane afterburner for my Brinkman Gourmet. Have some questions....... The needle valve is very-very sensetive. The smallest adjustment up or down makes a large differance in temperarture. To smoke at 225* degrees, the valve is barely open, perhaps this is the reason? How do I...

    Left over tough beef.

    I did a Q-view over the beef grilling section. I made some boneless beef ribs, and they came out pretty tough. I have a lot left over. No one (myself included) is going to want to have these as-is for left overs. Any ideas on what to do with left over tough beef? I don't have a dog any...

    Shoe Leather....Q-view!!!

    Had a couple of packs of "Boneless beef ribs, chuck" (as the package was marked.) Never having made them before, everything I could find on the web said to grill them to med. So that's what I did. I ended up with tasty, nice and pink shoe leather. Wow, I'm talking chewy. On the positive side...

    Question/response Kingsford

    Just an FYI....... I was curious as to why Kingsford (and most other) brand Charcoal said to wait 15 minutes/until ashed over after the coals are lit. And depending on their response, if it's okay to add unlits later. So I emailed them and asked. Here is a paste of their email response...

    Bubba Grill

    I was at Home Depot today. They have reduced the Bubba barbeque from $799 to $599. At that price, it looks a whole lot better. Although, I'm not expecting to buy any new cookers any time soon. The tag said reduced. It did not say anything about a sale or close out.

    Safe metals for cooker?

    I intend to build a home brew rotissorie for my Weber kettle. I haven't gone out and tried to find sheet metal yet to use as the extension ring. I'm curious as to which metals are safe to use in a cooker. I've been told Stainless steel is fine, and that galvanized is not. Is Aluminum safe? I...
