Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue SR8043 Smoking Wood Chips for Pork Get it now!

I think the person who gave this a bad review didn't understand the purpose of these chips. They are not intended to be a heat source or even a dry supplement to coals. They are intended to increase and enhance the smoke. To use them correctly, you soak a large handful for about 1/2 hour. Just as I'm putting my pork shoulder on the smoker, I sprinkle these on top and around the edges of my mesquite hardwood coal. In combination, they provide a fantastic, balanced smoke.

Keep in mind that pork (ribs or shoulder) only absorb smoke in the first 2-3 hours. There is no need as the other reviewer suggested to constantly add these chips. One large soaked handful combined with mesquite coal and/or hardwood chunks, another smaller handful an hour later to keep the smoke steady and you're fine. I use one box about every 4 times I slow-smoke.Get more detail about Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue SR8043 Smoking Wood Chips for Pork.

Cuisinart 5-Piece Champion Grill Set Buy Now

These were a birthday gift for my husband. I have to say I am pleased with the quality of each tool. He seems to only use the spatula but each piece is sturdy and easy to grip. I am not am fan of the tongs, they seems to grip 'funny' but I am more use to the sets not used on BBQ grills. This is a great set, has a very nice and strudy storage case. I highly recommend this set.Get more detail about Cuisinart 5-Piece Champion Grill Set.

Weber 451001 18.5-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Black Order Now

Like all Weber kettle grills, this is a very good and durable grill.

However, when you consider that the only significant differences between this grill and the same Silver line grill are: 2X the price for the Gold line, an Al ash catcher on the Gold (that should come on the Silver, too), and the trap doors that allow you add more coals on the Gold w/o removing the cooking grate...what Weber charges for the two "improvements" is obscene. These cannot possably add more than $10 to their cost of production...doubling the price on the entire grill is...gouging.

The Gold 18-1/2" costs much more than the Silver 22" model as a result and the 22" is a much better buy as a result.

Think hard before you buy the 18-1/2" Gold vs. the 22" Silver.

Having said that, the Gold series ash catcher is a nice feature. Get more detail about Weber 451001 18.5-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Black.
