    2 hours into my first offset smoker use!!! So far......

    I did 50/50 like you said but added some dark brown sugar to it. First spritz was @ 5pm. Pictures will be put up 17 mins.

    Need quick advice: Apple Juice or Cherry Dr. Pepper?

    Guy's I didn't like it. I'm actually in the process of doing another butt right now to see if I can better my last. So I think I did a couple things wrong the first time... Jeff's seasoning was good except I used smoked paprika and it was way overpowering. 100% will go with normal paprika...

    Guys we are scooting right along at 250-300F at the rack. It's gotten very easy to maintain the temps with only wood splits at this point. However it is eating a lot of wood. Anyways when do I wrap this thing!? Anyone?

    Well I'm doing a 10lb Boston butt. I got some Hickory wood to use and I'm using a $100 Amazon special COS. This is labor intensive!!!! So far so good though. I don't have a digital probe to watch my rack temp (Would have been very nice!) but I did get an oven thermometer and noticed @ 500F my...

    It's a 10lb butt and it didn't get on the smoker until 5pm! That puts me like 3am being done.

    Need quick advice: Apple Juice or Cherry Dr. Pepper?

    I like how the sugar in the spritz caramelizes to the meat. Layer and layer of caramelization.

    Can I rest the pork in liquid overnight?

    I've read a long rest at temp is really good for meat. Open to hearing other's opinion though
