It's been too long since I lurked around these parts. Life gets in tbe way. Anyway, the wife has given her permission for me to go light some money on fire and buy a new toy. I'm looking to keep this under 1200 but if I have to push to 1500 she doesn't have to know. (price includes any shipping...

Bringing meat to room temp really does not much of anything. https://www.seriouseats.com/old-wives-tales-about-cooking-steak#toc-myth-1-you-should-let-a-thick-steak-rest-at-room-temperature-before-you-cook-it https://amazingribs.com/technique-and-science/myths/let-meat-come-to-room-temp/

Plenty of great advice here already. Lately, I've been taking them to the stall and then putting them in a dutch oven with some liquid to finish in the kitchen oven. Works like a charm. Unlike most here, though, I never rest the butt very long. It's never dry and always delicious (except that...

As a former PBC owner, that seems like a great price. You would probably love the thing, it's really a great set and forget cooker. My big issue with is was that it ran at whatever temp it wanted to and I had to use magnets or foil to close the holes to bring it down. I sold it and went with...

IDK, sounds like the probes are not right. I'd pull them and see what they read in ice water and boiling water. What temp are you cooking at?

Welcome from another LV/Alletown smoker!

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated!

Nothing fancy here folks. Picnic shoulder seasoned with Heath Riles Comp BBQ blend and cooked on the OK Joe Bronco before moving into the oven. It's was like butter at the end. Porky bliss.

I have the RecTeq Bullseye. I am very happy with it as a pellet smoker. Great customer service and the only issue I have is the ignitor rod just went after 3 years. I do not use it as a grill....just doesn't work as well in my opinion even though it can go to about 700F

The ring helps to keep the charcoal contained. Without it, the coals might start spreading out and might be harder to keep lit.

Not really sure, but at least an hour or two. My biggest takeaway from that smoker is whatever amount of wood you think you need...it's too much lol.

Is this the Cuisinart that is like the WSM- barrel shaped? I started on that. I always did the minion method with 8-10 hot coals on the top. Worked well. You'll need to refuel a few times but I eventually bought a larger charcoal ring to limit that.

Bumping back up. Now asking $500.

Late to this thread, but tbh this is why I rarely post pics anymore here. My android saves photos too big to post and it's too much of a hassle to convert them to a smaller size. Never had that issue with my old iPhone.
