    HELP: Pulled Pork temperature stall/plateau???

    I haven't used a pan before, but maybe I should try it out.  So, do you just cover the pan in foil then, instead of completely wrapping the pork?  That would make things a little easier I would think.

    HELP: Pulled Pork temperature stall/plateau???

    I love this smoker too.  Since you have the same setup and are doing it the same way...how long per pound does it usually take you to get to 200?  It seems like the pork is staying in the 165 range FORever.  But I'm probably not being patient enough because I've got the deadline and haven't...

    HELP: Pulled Pork temperature stall/plateau???

    This is a little frustrating because I'm usually smoking for a big group.  I usually allow for the 1.5-2 hours per pound of biggest slab of meat on the grate.  The last 2 times the stall has delayed dinner for 20+ people, so it gets frustrating. As for the bark, I thought the foil was CAUSING...

    HELP: Pulled Pork temperature stall/plateau???

    I don't use a pan.  Usually, the meat is sitting right on the grate of what ever shelf it's on.  I typically spray it with an Apple Cider Vinegar spritz during the smoke.  When I was foiling it I would pour a little beer in the foil "bowl" before closing it up.

    HELP: Pulled Pork temperature stall/plateau???

    I've had my GOSM big block for about a year now.  I've done pulled pork, brisket, ribs, big turkey, and chicken all with decent success.  One issue I have been having, and I assume it's just because it's a gas smoker, is not being able to get a good hard bark on my pork/brisket. So, what I...

    First Turkey for Christmas (QView)

    Those are good points.  Thanks.  No one actually ate the "stuffing", as it was mainly there for the bird, so I think we were ok there.   It's definitely something else I can do different next time.

    First Turkey for Christmas (QView)

    Thanks to the help of several threads here, I successfully pulled off my first turkey in the smoker.  There's definitely some things I want to do different next time, but this time went well...no complaints during Christmas dinner at least. I got your standard 12 pound 6-8% solution turkey at...

    Pulled Pork Chili - With Qview (of course)

    Looks great.  I have a 6 lb pork butt in the freezer right now and am going to try this recipe.  How much did the above recipe make?  I'm looking to make enough to fill one of those big oval crock pots. Thanks JP

    Marinade or inject?

    It was probably hard to chew because it doesn't seem they cooked long enough.  I think I have heard you foil it at around 165ish.  Then take it up to 185ish, then rest for 30min to an hour.  Then slice.  6 hours doesn't seem long enough. Also, when I foil everything, I pour a bit of beer in the...

    Marinade or inject?

    When I did 30 lbs of pork for July 4th, it was basically 4 pieces of 7 lb or 8 lb pieces of meat.  It took about as long as the biggest piece took to cook...about an 1.5 hours times 8 lbs.  It did not take 45 hours (1.5 times 30 lbs).

    Doing 45lbs of pulled pork for Saturday...got a couple questions...

    Sounds good.  When I re-heat the meat on Saturday, do I need to re-heat it to a certain temp, or just hot/warm enough to eat?  I guess I could get a rotation of the meat in a crock pot...not a bad idea. I'm trying to avoid staying up all night, or getting up at the butt crack of dawn on...
