    New Years butts

    Lookin' great.  What smoker temperature are you using?  And, what's the internal temp 4 hours in? Mine's out of the smoker and in the cooler.  It was 9.1 pounds and took 7 hours, 50 minutes to hit 200℉ internal. I kept the smoker right at 250℉. It hit 260 a couple of times and dropped into the...

    New Years butts

    I just wrapped it in, more or less, two layers of foil.  I had some fresh apple cider in the fridge, so I put 1/4 - 1/2 cup over the top before I closed the foil.  This is only the second butt I've done, but I have some friends who regularly smoke 15 or 20 butts at a time for catering - when...

    New Years butts

    Looks good.  I picked up a butt for $1.98.pound at the grocery store earlier in the week.  I'm gonna just drop my Q-view into this thread instead of starting another New Year's Day Pork Butt thread - let me know if that's a faux pas. It went on the smoker a little before 5 am.  Waiting now to...

    Materbuilt Propane Use Question

    I have the Masterbuilt Dual Fuel.  I started Thursday with a full tank.  I ran the burner pretty much wide open (trying to stay above 300 degrees in the cold weather)  for the 3-ish hours I smoked a 12+ pound turkey.  I then ran the smoker lower, maybe midway on the knob, for about 13 hours on...

    Post Thanksgiving Brisket

    The brisket was a bit of a mixed success.  One end of the flat, probably the end that was curled under, was a bit over done while the rest was perfect.  We also found the point to be a bit fatty for our tastes when sliced.  Next time I'll separate it part way through and cook it longer for...

    A smok'n newbie

    Howdy from the other side of the mountain.  Good luck on the turkey - I did my first one yesterday and beginner's luck or all the good advice on here, it came out great.

    Post Thanksgiving Brisket

    I thought something besides turkey would be good for today, so I picked up a ~12 pound packer cut brisket when I was at Sam's last week.  We've never trimmed a brisket before, but I think my son & I managed an OK job last night.  Based on what I've read here, we are doing our first one with just...

    Smoking a turkey in the snow

    The verdict is in.... it was a success.  Only half the family likes smoked flavor, hence the deep fried second turkey.  Those of that like smoked all enjoyed it.  The comments were that it was very moist and had a nice but not overpowering smoky flavor.
