    Packer or Flat?

    how much fat do you trim off?  I usually keep 1/4 inch on the flat.  I've never separated the two pieces.  That fat in between is pretty gnarly.

    Packer or Flat?

    My question is: Which is a better value; buying a packer and trimming the fat off or buying a flat already trimmed.   I've found that the packer right now at walmart is 2.69/lb (was 1.98/lb) but at my meat market I can get a flat for 4.99/lb.  I've always wondered, by the time I trimmed off the...

    Question about volume of meat

    I failed to mention that I did leave it wrapped in foil. I think that my next test will be to smoke the meat in a foil pan to save the fat that is rendered off the shoulder. Then add it to the meat after/while it is reheated.

    Question about volume of meat

    I did an experiment last night. I had kept a foiled shoulder from the day before and put in the fridge last night. Last night I put it back on the smoker and 3 hours later it was at 160 degrees. I pulled it and the meat was very tender but not as juicy. My daughter thought it was better but...

    Question about volume of meat

    I do use the microwave most times. I'm trying something today. I have a picnic shoulder that I smoked yesterday. I foiled it and put it in the fridge last night. I'm going to warm it up tonight after work to see how it tastes. I may be able to prepare some shoulders a few days before and...

    Question about volume of meat

    I would like to smoke a lot of meat at one time. I have a Char-Griller and I've smoked 6 boston butts at one time. I would like to put 6 butts on the main cooking area and 3 more on the little rack above. If I do that how will that effect the cooking time, fuel consumption, etc? I have...

    Foil = Boil

    This thread is off the hook. I wish my wife would start smoking. Then I could get a little more sleep during overnight smokes. This weekend I'm going to do spares. I think I'll foil 2 and not foil the last one just to see the difference. Either way they will be awesome because I'm cooking...

    Foil = Boil

    My buddy and I are having an argument. He states that real BBQ'rs don't foil their ribs. Foiling the ribs is just like boiling them. I like to foil because that's the best way to get tender, fall off the bone, no muss no fuss ribs. He said foiling is a poor mans crockpot. I think he is...

    Catering this weekend Chicken question

    I have to make chicken for 20 people. I was planing on brining, rubbing, and smoking half chickens. I was wondering if there would be an advantage to smoking whole chickens instead. I figure that the halves would take less time. Any comments or suggestions? Thanks. KOB
