    Pulled pork for a birthday party

    JimmyJ, thanks for posting your recipe!  I'll surely be sticking that in my "To Try" file.  We're doing ribs this weekend so it may be a good time to give it a shot. Looking forward to hearing how your pulled pork turns out.  I haven't done multiples so I'll be curious as to see if much...

    Let's talk Thanksgiving Turkey Fatty.

    My mother in law has requested that we do a ground turkey fatty this year instead of making a turkey.  I am very open to this.  My intuition is to have the goodies in the center be stuffing and bourbon cranberry sauce.  I wanted to throw this off of the board and see if it sticks. What are...

    Lets talk smoke

    Thanks mballi!  They're baby backs that I trimmed up probably a little too much.  I wasn't sure how much to trim off so i just took all the extra off.  Which might explain the shortened cooking time. Oh well, they were very good.

    Lets talk smoke

    This was my first time with ribs and I was very pleased with how they turned out.  I started with the 2-2-1 Method but my ribs were pretty small, I cut it down to 2-1-1.  I have come to the conclusion that quality makes an immense difference.  I got these baby backs from a local butcher but the...

    Lets talk smoke

    nevermind!  Once the sun went down and I turned on the outside lights I had a beautiful plum of light blue smoke gently meandering it's way out of the grill.. Looks like it will turn out about perfectly.

    Lets talk smoke

    Ok, Wasn't sure exactly where to post this... This is the first time I've tried smoking in my gas grill and i bought a cast iron smoker box for the woodchips so that's what I'm using. The temp is holding right at about 250 which I'm fine with. I'm using hickory chips and chunks that were...

    Best way to plug ventilation holes in gas grill for smoking?

    Thanks!  i ended up plugging the heat/smoke side and the back with foil leaving the opposite side for ventilation/draft.  We'll see how it works, it's the first time smoking on this grill, I usually use my weber kettle but didn't feel like tending coals.

    Best way to plug ventilation holes in gas grill for smoking?

    Whats the best way to plug the ventilation holes in a gas grill to prep it for smoking? I have a smoke coming up in about 2 hours and thought I'd throw the question up on the boards.  My thought was to use foil, anything else I can do'?   I'll be smoking at about 250 degrees. Thanks! A

    Expedite thawing?

    Thanks!  The Ribs are Cryovac packed and the Butt is wrapped in butcher paper.  I'll just stick the butt in the fridge for later on in the week and start thawing the ribs tonight.   NE Wyoming?  Does the Arrow Restaurant in Sundance still have the best prime-rib on the planet? Where I'm...

    Expedite thawing?

    Tomorrow I'd like to smoke either baby back ribs or some pulled pork, but everything I have is frozen.  What's the best way to expedite the thaw so I can start smoking tomorrow morning?

    Lesson 4?

    The smoking e-course sent me lessons 1-3 and 5, for some reason skipping number 4. Is it possible to have that resent to me?  Or can someone link to it?  Thanks!

    Hi there! New to the forums.

    thanks guys! One thing I'm looking forward to is trying my hand at ribs.  I've always been a little intimidated by them but after reading a lot of the posts I feel it's certainly within my ability.  Now off to find tips on smoking turkeys...  Mine always ends up a little dry.

    Hi there! New to the forums.

    Hi everyone.  I joined the forums today and am gearing up for some fall smoking!  I was previously a member of the Barbeque Bible forums and was sent over here by a friend I met on BadgerandBlade.com. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from everyone and can't wait to get to know...
