    Finishing Pork Butt - Temperature Safety Question?

    Thanks for your reply.  I found it here: http://amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/cook_today_serve_tomorrow.html I suppose in this instance, since I didn't get it down to the 40's, probably should toss this one and use the oven overnight next time.

    Newbie Electric Smoker Questions

    Hi all: I've spent a fair amount of time on the forums for electric smokers.  Before I take the plunge, I was hoping some of you might be able to give me some guidance. I live outside Chicago.  Thus, half the year it's cold and snowy.  I don't have a porch or other covered area. For warmer...
