    Make ahead ribs

    OMG, Tikiboy.  That's awesome.  I will be having hot food on two 6' tables in our family room during the party and my BIG electric roasting pan that I never use can be taken out of the back of the closet!  Thank you, very much.

    Make ahead ribs

    I'm smoking my baby back ribs right now using Jeff's 2-2-1 method.  But, I am cooking them for our Christmas party this weekend.  I do not want to be out on the cold deck, in the dark while the party is going on.  I was going to completely cook them, then on the night of the party put some of...

    Finally got Jeff's rub and sauce

    I have been making my own BBQ sauce for years and my husband loved it.  It was great on pulled pork and ribs but it was just too sweet for chicken so I would buy sauce for that.  After buying and reading Jeff's ingredients I gave it a try.  Boy am I glad I did.  It's awesome on chicken AND...

    Going to Try Hot and Fast Bourbon Smoked Pulled Pork

    I'm such a dope from not coming back but I'm here now and the pork butt was amazing.  Jeff's Hot & Fast Bourbon Smoked method is great!

    I'm Panicking -- HELP!

    It just did it again.  Said the meat was 205° with 1:45 left to cook.   I pulled it out and the fat cap was half slid off which seemed right.  I tested the temperature in several places and I got 204-205 all over.  So, I pulled out another probe I have (I do a lot of cooking) and this one never...

    I'm Panicking -- HELP!

    It's 8lbs and the probe is one of those that stays in the meat with a digital thermometer/timer that stays outside.  Damn, I never thought to check in other parts of the meat! Thanks S2K9K, I'll keep it in the oven the full 5 hours before I check again.  I'll have to really pass around the...

    I'm Panicking -- HELP!

    I have Jeff's Hot and Fast Bourbon Smoked Pulled Pork in the oven right now.  It was in the smoker with a temperature probe and it got to 143° at 2 1/2 hours instead of 3.  No big deal.  I took it out, added apple juice and bourbon, covered with aluminum foil and inserted the probe again.  To my...

    Going to Try Hot and Fast Bourbon Smoked Pulled Pork

    OK, I'm excited.  I'm going to try Jeff's Hot & Fast Bourbon Smoked pork butt tomorrow.  I just made Jeff's Rub and BBQ Sauce and I have an 8 lb bone-in butt in the refrigerator calling my name.  One question, if anybody else has used this recipe, do you have any pointers for me or tweaking I...

    Needle Valve

    My husband and I have both given up trying to install this on our existing smoker since we cannot get the damn (sorry) old one off. We're going to wait until the end of the season and buy a new one.  Hopefully, something we can put the needle valve on. Thanks everybody for your kind help and...

    Needle Valve

    Sorry it took me so long.  Here are my smoker and the hose regulator assembly.  I have been trying to take the old one off for a while now but this smoker is kind of fragile that I'm afraid the whole thing will come apart if I am too hard on it.  I will try the two wrench trick that PS0303...
