Hello all ... Been lurking around for a while and finally wanted to introduce myself and start posting.
The site is a great resource and something that I find myself checking multiple times a day. (It's pretty darn addictive to say the least)
I just started smoking in the Fall and have limited myself thus far to a couple of different experiments. So far I've tried a whole chicken, fattie (stuffed with provolone, mushrooms, onions, jalapenos, garlic), ribs, pork tenderloin, pulled pork (boston butt), and ABTs.
I use a WSM and am still trying to get as familiar with it as I can.
Thus far I've taken quite a few pictures since I know most of you guys love to see the Q-views. I haven't gotten the courage up enough to post any of them as of yet.
Thus far my results have varied. The best result to date was the pulled pork. I ended up stumbling into the finishing sauce that has was posted and I used that. I actually was impressed with the result.
My biggest issue so far has been that I continually over-smoke most of the meat.
My wife doesn't seem to understand what the infatuation is... she doesn't understand why I get so much pleasure in the preparation and cooking process. I'll admit that some of the results have been sub-par to date. I chalk it up to still being a little too green and over-enthusiastic with some of the techniques i've read about here.
I have two Boston Butt's sitting in the garage refrigerator for tomorrow morning. I coated them with yellow mustard and applied a rub that I mixed up. I'm going to wake up in the morning and throw em on.
