    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...

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

    Planned on making the BBQ sauce Saturday and bringing to the party to put on the sandwiches if people so wished. I was thinking I could throw them all in the oven Saturday as well and then pull before the party.  Should I bring them up to a certain temp for this?  Or just warm them up?  I was...

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

    A friend has asked me to do a bunch of pulled pork for a party of 60+ this weekend.  I did 30 lbs for July 4th, so I feel comfortable I can handle it.  I have some questions though. I'd like to smoke the meat Thursday.  What do I need to consider if I do it this way?  I'm used to pulling it...

    My best brisket yet

    How can I get bark like that on a GOSM?  Mine tasted fine, but no bark.

    First brisket in GOSM Big Block - What went wrong??? :(

    It did taste good, thanks for talking me off the ledge somewhat.  I sprayed it with coke every hour-ish.  I still would like more of a bark like this guy: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/98379/my-best-brisket-yet I guess I can keep it on the smoker the whole time and skip the...

    First brisket in GOSM Big Block - What went wrong??? :(

    OK, so I bought a GOSM Big Block a little while ago.  I've done ribs and pork in it so far that turned out great.  3-2-1 method on the ribs and smoke-foil-finish method on the pork.  Both turned out great.  I've done as small as 2 racks of ribs up to 30 lbs of pork at once.  But, I'm a Texan...
