    Boston butt question

    I agree with Al. If you are pulling you may want to start after 4/4.5 hours and it shoul be about right by then

    Another New Guy Who Got a Smoker for Christmas!

    Happy New Year and Thank you for your service When you get started try a pork butt as they are easy to cook. Baskets are great but finicky in that they are hard to master. Ribs, chicken, sausage are all good. There are plenty of step by steps for all of these on this forum. Build a fire...

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    You need to post an hour by hour log of how you did your last smoke. It will help zero in on things. Do you wrap? What temp do you take it to before you put in the rest mode? Many variables to consider.

    i always keep notes and on a future cook my briskets have slowly gotten better I try to make only one or two changes per cook. If it is better I keep, the same or worse I cross those changes off the change list. Practice makes perfect. KEEP ON SMOKING.

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    In a perfect world a slice should droop over a knife or if pulled separate into fairly equal pieces. If you got it tender with a taste everybody liked that is the main thing.

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    In addition to my first post may I suggest a couple of things: 1. Once IT hits 195-200 pull, wrap in foil or brown paper, then a towel, and put in a cooler for a couple of hours to finish, it will continue to slowly cook as it cools. Then you might save some for burnt ends (brisket candy)...
