We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

Reason: To add the bottom round finished pic!
Thank you, Huskee! And thank you for your help - sound advice as always! I was pretty pleasantly surprised by the BR - REALLY good, and I will do it again! The Chuck was great, too! Good eats last night. Had pulled Chuck Sammie with potato salad (used Dukes mayo - good stuff). The WSM ran like a champ!

In the past couple of weeks I've had to endure oven roasted ribs drenched in BBQ sauce, undercooked from frozen hamburger patties, and over cooked burgers done on charcoal started with lighter fluid. At least this weekend, I was able to educate someone and convert them to reverse seared steaks
I'm thinking that we are all upping our game quite a bit.
With a lot of talented and experienced folks, together with great sharing of what does and does not work, our results just get better and better.
During tax season, when I was not cooking, I noticed everything ratcheting up quite a bit. I think the trend has accelerated as we are all cooking more in the better weather.
We are just starting from a higher plain when we go to something new, and we are more likely to try something new because we've learned from others and aren't afraid of having a bomb.
JMHO
Oh, and then there is Ernest just leading the pack In crazy creativity (and great photography). LOL
Yesterday's cooking fun. The day before I made Meathead's Boston baked beans on the BGE. I took that along with some of my Ciabatta bread also baked on the BGE over to a lady friends house. She wanted me to use her Masterbuilt electric smoker to smoke some ribs for her and 2 of her relatives. So I took some Memphis Dust with me. I got the ribs started at 11:00am and it was almost lunch time so I made them flat bread thin crust pizza. I made pizza from scratch and had it complete in less than 1 hour. Then we made a blueberry cobbler for dessert after our rib dinner. We also made a potato salad.
They all loved the Last meal ribs and the Boston baked beans. It was a fun day of cooking!

I hate that double row of bones. Makes me want to get a band saw just for that. Looks like the dude below is hit and miss. Cabela's has one for $2,000+. Comes with complimentary divorce papers.

Nothing exciting last night, just some boneless skinless chicken breasts and veggies. Pulled the chicken at about 163*. Very moist and tender. Three of them were marinated in a balsamic marinade, the other two in lemon and Rosemary.
