    2nd Pork Butt Attempt

    My first attempt didn't turn out well. I didn't allow the meat to get up to temp (205) long enough and it was tough. This cook I brined the butt over night then used a basic salt, pepper, brown sugar, and lawry's season salt rub. I am spritzing with a pineapple and apple juice combo. My cook...

    problems with heat

    I have a offset smoker that was built by hand that I purchased from a neighbor. It's my first smoker. I have used it about 5 times now and can never get the heat above 200 without putting charcoal directly in the cooking chamber. The fire box had no ventilation or dampers so I drilled a few...

    Hello from Orlando

    Thought I would drop by and introduce myself. My name is Adam and have just started learning how to smoke meats. I have a offset smoker that I am still trying to get a grasp on getting enough heat from the fire box to the cooking chamber. I have used only charcoal so far and been unsuccessful at...
