    First time doing pork butts on Drum smoker

    Just had a quick question about how many wood chunks I should plan on using. I found some info on a big green egg and how much to use for it but seeing as how there's much more space in a 55 gallon drum, I wasn't sure how many chunks I should go through in about 10 or 12 hours

    How long can you "Hold" a Pork Butt

    Does the meat get mushy leaving it in the cooler this long? I'm kind of in the same situation and wanted to make sure I wasn't going to end up with mushy pork.

    Any recommended injector?

    Hey, just wanted to give you an update. I decided rather than throwing my injector away, I'd try to fix the problem first. I ended up ordering a new silicone o-ring for the inside of the injector for like 2 bucks on Amazon and that seems to have fixed my complaint with the stainless steel...

    Any recommended injector?

    I've went through two of them in about a year.  The first one i bought was just on a whim at a local place and it was made of plastic.  After a couple uses, i made the mistake of running it through the dishwasher.  It ended up getting a huge crack in it after 2 washes.  You get what you pay for...

    3 Boston Butts with Q-View Running Commentary

    Some good pics in this thread! Just out of curiosity, how much do you guys usually pay for Pork butt per lb? I guess it just depends on where you live but the price the that the original poster seemed high for a sale price.  I got some last weekend for $1.38 per lb from Sam's club.  They...

    MES locking mechanism broken

    Ok thanks.  I wasn't sure how much help they'd be since this thing is way out of warranty. Ive had some trouble finding info on my specific model.  I guess they didn't sell it for long, for some reason.  Maybe this is why, haha.

    MES locking mechanism broken

    I bought the stainless steel MES 30" from QVC about 2 years ago and can't figure out a unique problem I'm having. I've looked up the other models of the 30" MES and they all seem to have a clip that locks the door when closing the smoker.  Mine has a handle on the front that acts like a...

    Smoking a Turkey for 2 different dinners

    Hey, guys thanks so much for all the tips. On an unrelated note, has anyone tried sealing their door area with RTV sealant? It won't be in the actual smoking chamber, I just wanted to keep so much smoke from escaping through the gap between the door and smoker.

    Myron Mixon's Pellets for AMZNPS

    Well, I woke up at 4am this morning to start on my pork butt. The pellets got started like the others I've tried so after about 10 mins of flame on the pellets I blew the fire out and let the smoke roll before I put the amnps in the smoker along with the pork butt. I set my maverick...

    Myron Mixon's Pellets for AMZNPS

    So, i've had my amznps for a couple months now and saw that Myron Mixon sells his own pellets for his "new smoking system." I decided to try the peach pellets in my smoker this weekend since they were only 16.99 for 20 lbs. Anyone have any experience/tips for these pellets?  I've only tried...

    FINISHING SAUCE (for Pulled Pork)

    I've made 3 or 4 smoked butts now and haven't stumbled upon finishing sauce until the last couple days. Really looking forward to an all day smoke this sunday with a 10 lb butt and ending it with this recipe.  I've always loved how it turned out but with so many people raving about this recipe...

    Keeping smoked wings warm

    Hey, guys. I'm smoking about 80 wings for a party that i'm having tonight at 8pm.  I am going to have to do a couple seperate smokes with them because i don't have the room in my smoker for all of them. If i start on the first batch early, what's my best option to keep warm for a few hours?

    Old MES with pellet smoker

    Just got my A-Maze-N pellet smoker in the mail a couple days ago and decided to fire it up today. I have a 30" MES that doesn't have the side chip loader.  Basically all i have is the vent in the back for airflow and the little bit that sneaks out the door on the sides. I tried compacting the...

    1st post after owning a smoker for a year

    Hey, guys. I've been using this forum as my sidekick for about a year now for everything smoking.  Love reading about all the new things in smoking (most of it is new to me, at least.) Just wanted to stop in and say hey and thanks for everyone's effort to help each other out on these boards.
