    What the hell am I doing wrong since I would eat Famous Dave's Chain Smoked meat over mine anyday

    This is spot on as far as getting what you like. I have manila folders going back 20+ years as a resource, so much as what cracked pepper I used on the best smoked cheese I’ve had to date. Came from TJ Maxx incidentally... lol But, it’s usually the little things. Cut/quality of what you’re...

    Leg of lamb

    That looks fantastic. Love lamb as a “switch” from the chix/beef whatever. Hatch chilies, perhaps? We get them here east about this time, always looking for someway to use them other than ODing on salsa each week... bravo!

    Bought my first pellet smoker !

    Tell me, serious question as I’ve been looking, what steered you to this one? I thought I’d ask instead of spending hours digging around... I need something under 500 bucks that’s simple to use, vacation house, so others sre there (all family), but can do burgers and dogs, as well as my smoke...

    15# of pork butt - how to execute?

    This is interesting. I've got an 8#'er soaking up some lovely rub right now and my time frame for Sunday is a little goofy with other obligations. So I've been noodling about how and when to get it on the smoke so it's done in time and I can keep an eye on it too.  So reading this, was it 5...

    Scarbelly Wings (Buffalo Style)

    I've done all kinds of wings, including smoked but hadn't tried this. Putting on a bit of a party/feast for Sunday, so wanted to give these a trial run. Made these a week or so ago. Injected and tossed with a few Tbs of a mix of butter, Tx Pete and Sauers BBQ sauce- Then Jeff's rub- On the...

    Pulled pork smoke

      The short answer, and not to sound like a smartass (much), but I guess you could foil at any temp. But if you're doing that, what's the point in occupying a smoker for 12-15 hrs? Could just toss em all in a crock pot... I don't foil my butts at all (yes, I'm a juvenile in an old mans body)...

    Pulled pork smoke

    I'll offer a thought or two, if it's okay. I'm certainly no pro, but I've done my fair share by now over several years. And of course I have no idea how much of this you've done, so this may all be stuff you're well aware of. Please take it as just responding to what I've read, not suggesting...

    1st butt, inject or not?

    Pulled and hit with finishing sauce AFTER about a 4 hour rest in the cooler with towels- Love the top pick as it shows a nice smoke ring.  Bottom one after a bit of pull and chop to fully mix all the goodness throughout. Not trying to hijack the thread, but didn't think it warranted...
