    COOK COMPLETE!!! - First time doing a butt in the new smoker...

    No idea why that post above never posted... oh well. The cook is complete, and the meat came out fantastic!!! The bone just fell out and the whole butt just came apart with a gentle application of a fork. Seeing is believing - this is at the stall, just before foil: This is right after...

    COOK COMPLETE!!! - First time doing a butt in the new smoker...

    Been a few hours now and I'm pressing right up against the stall @ IT 159... Figure I'll be foiling in about 30-60 mins. Here's a progress pic:

    COOK COMPLETE!!! - First time doing a butt in the new smoker...

    So minor disaster.... I had a fire break out in the wood dish - normally not that big a deal, however while in the process of pulling it out, one of the chunks grabbed the water pan and dumped that all over everything - the deck, the wood pan, my hand.... Good news is that put the fire out...

    Well, so far so good... got a later start than I wanted, but that's ok. I'm in no rush. This will taste just as good tomorrow if it's not done in time for tonight's dinner. Here are some shots from this morning of my wood layout and a pretty one of the smoker throwing smoke. :)

I've got the butt rubbed and wrapped - planning on using a combo of Pecan chunks supplemented with Apple chips. The spritz will be a...

    Texas Propane users!

    Can I just say... I find it amusing & amazing that a guy in SE Michigan finds an article from a news outlet that's local to me here in Greenville, SC about bad gas in Texas (which opens the door to all sorts of comments, but I digress). Just wanted to throw that out there :)

    I want to do a pork butt on my new MPS... need advice

    Thanks for all the input... getting ready to do this tomorrow... Quick question - I'm going to go grab a bag of chunks - can you soak them like chips or is there no point due to their mass?

    I want to do a pork butt on my new MPS... need advice

    Guys thanks for the input. Chris - you are correct, it is a Masterbuilt Propane Smoker. Do you guys have smoke generating for the entire cook time? Or at some point do you let the smoke die and just finish the cook?

    Naked Chicken Question

    That was the one aspect I was disappointed by - the skin did not crisp at all, given the low and slow. I think future runs will include the removal of the skin.
