    First Boston Butt

    I thought that in a vertical smoker having pork drippings fall onto the beef or vice versa would be a problem....lesson learned...good thing this brisket is only like 2.5-3.5 pounds so I'll have time before party time tomorrow.  I put this boston butt in brown sugar ONLY about an hour before I...

    Master Forge Double Door smoker in Baltimore...

    Hey all, I've been smoking on this smoker now for about 4 months and I agree with the sand 100% makes this smoker like night and day with how steady the temps are....I actually junked the stock water pan all together and use a 10 or 12 inch round foil pan from the grocery store filled with sand...

    Sirlon Tip Roast - 1st Time What Smoker Temp??

    Q VUE 4 U! The doneness came out great for both our tastes....what i found strange was if you look 2/3 of the way up the roast there is a fat vein that runs the whole width of the roast, so it left 2 different colors on the top and bottom, it insulated the top to a more rare finish and the...
