- with no work! As the temp winds down, the roast cooks to perfection. A 3-4 lb roast is done in an hour (to med rare). For bigger roasts, I just add more hardwood charcoal at about 30-45 minutes. I used to mix regular charcoal (...

Just so I’ll understand more correctly, please list your source of the “artificial chemicals” used in charcoal briquets. If you look at the official ingredient list of Kingsford Charcoal (non Match Light), there...

This is interesting. Years ago, my only grill was a smokey joe, i learned to barbeque on it. If I was going to cook your pork shoulder, I would begin on your smokey joe. Start with maybe 10-12 charcoal briquets and 2-3 hickory...

charcoal I’ve seen is the briquet variety. Thanks for tip.

cook for 2, so I run a half load of briquets—-no accelerants for me: I think it’s paraffin in those matches, but I’m not sure: at least it doesn’t go near the food. Reasonable caution will easily deliver...

the temperature was 93* and I lowered the temperature again – to 200*F. At two hours and thirty minutes it was at 110* 15 more minutes brought it to 116* .... I took it out of the oven at this point. One chimney full of...

on Frontage Road, but their spits can only handle up to 75 lbs. Ideally, said spit would be motorized, as I can imagine my arm falling off after 8 hours of pig turning. Also, any thoughts on where to purchase charcoal (either lump...

makes all the difference. It gets hotter faster and the final result is like cooking with wood – smoke ring and all – there is much less ash. But it’s more expensive and won’t last as long as charcoal...

briquets (Kingsford is good) -a set of charcoal rails to keep the charcoal banked along opposite sides of drip pan -an aluminum drip pan to fit between the charcoal rails -a cooking rack to hold the bird -long tongs and cooking mitts...

Marilayne was right on with all her suggestions. She sonds like a pro. I am assuming that it is a charcoal unit. I just want to add the following: You should always use hardwood charcoal. The preformed briquets can have a funny...

, slow, smoke cooking that true barbecue requires and costs about $250. You use charcoal briquets for heat and wood chunks for smoke. The design, and some technique, lets it hold a pretty even temperature for a long time without...

/cook it for as long as I can, up to 22 hours. I use hardwood briquets and hickory chunks. Sometimes I brush on a mop a few times during the cooking. It works great and freezes well, so I like to do 10+ pounds at a time. for...
