I grilled some apple smoked turkey pastrami this past weekend. The rub only needs 24 hours and the turkey comes out very moist. It makes a great Rachel. :D
My wife brought home a 9.6 pound picnic shoulder and I have been wondering how to best cook it. It has the skin on it. I was planning on smoking it like I typically cook a Boston butt, but I was wondering what I should do with the skin. Does the picnic shoulder take 1.5 to 2 hours per pound at...
The WSM is all set for the night. The grate temperature is running at 238. The pork butt is at 91. There's 8 inches of rain coming tonight and tomorrow from tropical storm Danny. I hope she'll be ok. :shock:
It’s been a couple of months since I calibrated my thermometers, but cooks seem to be taking a little bit longer lately. I put a small brisket (5 pounds) on the top grate of the WSM at 7:30 this morning. According to the ET-73 grate temp, I’ve been running at 225-250. It’s been 9.5 hours and the...
I was once on business trip and I needed something for dinner. Everything was closed so I bought one of them rotisserie chickens from the supermarket. The damn thing had been so overcooked I almost choked because it was so dry.
This was much better. Rotisserie Chicken with America's Test...
Does anyone have an idea on temperature for country style ribs? The last batch I made on the WSM dried out. I probably brought the temp up too high. In the past I've cooked them indirectly on the Weber kettle with great results. I just can't remember how long or what temperature I brought them...
My neighbor just bought one of these and he is hoping I can help him smoke on it. I was thinking about putting in my old water pan from my ECB and starting a fire using the Minion method on one side of the grill. I have no idea if we’ll be able to keep the cooker going low and slow, but it’s...
I am smoking my first brisket tomorrow morning. I've made my spice rub and am wondering if I should put it on overnight or first thing tomorrow morning. The spice rub recipe is Jim Minion's in Weber's Cooking with Charcoal.
I forgot to resupply my wood supply and I only have one fist sized...
I plan on trying my first overnight with my new 18.5 WSM. I was hoping to get a few minutes of shuteye and hope that the Maverick wakes me up if temperature goes out of range. Of course it's supposed to rain occasionally this evening and I was wondering if anyone knows if I need to protect the...
I just got my new 18. 5" WSM and smoked a butt on Saturday with Wicked Good Charcoal briquettes. I smoked during the day, but would like to learn how to set it up overnight. I checked the Weber Silver Bullet website, and there was not a lot of information on overnight setups. Can anyone offer...
