    Whole Pig Roast

    it is important to note that i am using a gas powered cooker - same one that is in my avatar - so it stays at a consistent temp, hardly any fluctuation...and it has a closed lid which also helps shave a little time off the cook.

    Brisket for Christmas Eve!!!

    Ok so I checked it for the first time at 9am - 6 hours at 250 - she is coming along great…however, she is already at 175…I have killed the temp down to 200 being that this bad boy isn’t supposed to be ready until 630 tonight! So I’m a little nervous on that point…can someone give me resting...
