Re: Selling WSM to buy a GMG, am I mad?

With my Jim Bowie, the additional shelf is nice for expanded space but it takes up space on the main rack. The factory expansion shelf is not full sized, but more like 2/3 the size of the bottom rack. The legs that it sits on usually fall in just the wrong place to allow me to fill the bottom rack ...

Re: What to bring back from the US?

I know I'm late to this party but I read your post and thought I'd weigh in.

I'm a Florida native, moved to the UK 6 years ago. After 4 years in Blighty I moved back. When I went over, I shipped a Weber Smokey Mountain (new in box) in our container. In retrospect, the things I missed were mostly ...

Taking advantage of the mild weather to do some smoking today. I got my butcher to cut what passes nicely for a pork butt, blade bone in. He also sold me a beef brisket with the ribs still attached...first time I have ever seen the bones left on. Applied the appropriate rubs and put ...

Pig shortage?

Thanksgiving 2011 photos

Hi folks. I'm here in Florida visiting family and friends and enjoying Thanksgiving. This year we went to my sister's house on the St John's River near Palatka. I took my WSM up with me and did one of the turkeys and a couple of fattys. For the turkey I used the apple brine from the VWB site - http ...

Hi all. Haven't been on the forums for quite some time after moving over here to Blighty from the states, but have been enjoying my smoker in the back garden nonetheless. Hello again.

In any case, found an interesting article that talks about the stall or the temperature plateau that happens at ...

Our cookers at work

Posted a note in the "low n slow" section about our annual Christmas bbq at work, thought I'd put vids of the cookers here instead, though.

We fed about 1000 people this year, up from 800 for the last few years.

Here are ribs on the cooker we call "Covert Ops". It is the first one we built, and ...
