Too busy to check in yesterday. I did three 15 lb birds for our family gathering. 2 in buttermilk brine with compound butter under the skin. The other in an apple spice brine. Spatchcoked them. All went well. Hope everyone else had or has a great cook of you own.
Depends what I'm cooking. I run a smoke vault. If I'm doing a smaller cook, I just go to the desired temp. If I'm doing more, like tonight (8 pork butts) I'll start it out 10-15 degrees high knowing it's gonna lose some ground initially.
I just fired my SV24 up with 8 butts. I run smoke most of the time. Persoanally, I like staying up,and just dozing in a chair all night. On long cooks I'll usually set a timer for every 90 minutes or so and add chips. When I want to not do that I use my amazen tray with pellets. I've had good...
Work and life have been busy, but I get to roll smoke on 75 lbs. of pulled pork for a community picnic tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great weekend! :grilling_smilie:
If your smoker only runs at 165 it's gonna take a LONG time. I'd get an oven thermometer or something to determine your real temp. Ideally you'll be up in the 220-250 range. After that, time is just a ballpark measurement. The meat is done when it hits your desired temp.
On occasion I have had to leave home and thus I smoke for 4-5 hours then transfer to a roaster. Comes out almost as good as in the smoker all the way. Always a price to pay for convenience I suppose. But still good food. Keep smokin' :grilling_smilie:
Get a small cast iron skillet and sit it on the tray That little extra buffer should keep the wood from catching fire.
