    Pork Butt long rest

    I tried something new for a camping trip last week and it worked great. Long smoke for about 20lbs of butt, 2 hour hold/rest then broke it down to the larger muscle groups as noted about. By then it was getting late so into the vacuum sealer then freezer, no more shredding. At camp, I heated a...

    Anyone use Electric Chainsaw?

    I’ll chime in. I bought a Kobalt(Lowe’s) 40V saw a while back and loved it until the day I had to drop a tree that was between my truck and the way home. As soon as I dropped it across the road I thought “I’ll bet this thing dies right now” and it did. No warning, it either ran like hell or...

    Boiled Chicken, You Say?

    Can you define boiling? I can see simmering like I would do to get pulled chicken tacos, or how you would sear a thigh skin side down before putting in a pan with some rice for a casserole. Boiling just sounds like overkill.

    Tried a new brand of charcoal and it was a dud. Little bit of advice if you will please?

    I could be wrong, but here is what it sounds like to me - Your lump ran away with the temps as it can tend to do. If you hit 400 you might have throttled it down so far the temps you were watching basically allowed you to observe it going out.

    Charcoal question - B&B

    One other note - I have seen a few competition type folks say they like Kingsford as you can buy it anywhere and know what you are getting. If your notes and experience show X hours with Y kingsford that makes a lot of sense.

    Charcoal question - B&B

    I am a big fan of B&B products for the reasons you mentioned. I think you will find it is fairly popular but not widely available.

    If it doesnt work, why do it?

    I'm a dry brine fan, have read all about how nothing penetrates but salt. I'm still on the fence. For example, if you put pinapple juice in your Pastor marinade too early you get mushy meat, to the core. I'd swear a soy sauce/lemon marinade will make every bit of a tri-tip have the flavor. On...

    sides for a picanha cook.

    Why not try a hard-to-find dish with hard-to-find meat? Shishito peppers are a very mild mid-sized pepper with a great flavor. I buy them whenever they are available. https://www.seriouseats.com/creamed-shishitos

    Looking at Ford 150's

    On a used F150 make sure you listen well on a cold start. My 2018 required 5k$ worth of cam phaser work at around 100K and again at 140K. Otherwise love the truck. Oh and yes it is ecoboost

    Smoking Drums & Thighs Need some tips

    I don't think you will get a better crust at 275, but I do like smoked wings for the tenderness. Maybe give them a quick fry when they come of the smoker?

    More Meyer Lemons

    I love Meyer lemons, plan to put a tree in soon. Last house had one. I could drink the juice without water or sugar.
