    Smokenator

    Using a Weber Kettle 22.5, I've never had a need for one. You can smoke on the kettle right out of the box. Lots use em and love em though.

    Cold weather cooking

    It's not a major weather event unless someone in the family is outside tending a fire/meat. 18 below is where my record stands I believe. Steaks for 10 or so folks in almost 3 feet of snow. 14 more inches fell as we were finishing the steaks.

    Help with temperature on my smoker.

    Temp is a direct result of the amount of fuel and airflow. The more you have of either/both of these elements, the hotter the fire. By contrast, the less you have, the lower the temp.  Because you can control it, I would look at the fuel aspect of it first then look at ventilation if this is...

    The Product will be the same either way. Both can, and will, turn out awesome BBQ. It's my opinion, and that of the home office's, that who ever will be putting the time into the thing, needs to be happy with it. If you are Gonna be the outdoor culinary engineer then get your Weber. Is she's...

    how long does anyone get out a13# bag of kingsford ona long cook?

    Minion method and Chips ( didn't have any Apple chunk on hand) I even open the lid about every hour that I was up and hit it with Apple juice so there are temp spikes for sure. Nothing real tricky to be honest, I just get the kettle dialed in and it stayed at around 215 - 230 on its own. Saw it...

    how long does anyone get out a13# bag of kingsford ona long cook?

    Smoked two butts overnight. 12 lbs total. used less than a 13lb bag of KB. Smoked from 1am to 2pm. Still had at least 4 hours unlit when I pulled the meat off.  This is with a Weber kette.

    Pulled Pork in a Crock Pot?

    This was never an issue when I was living in Apartments. I suppose they found a way to save on the insurance... Sucks that those of us who are responsible have to suffer for the "lowest common denominator."

    Question about Smoking multiple butts - how to calculate the expected time on the smoker

    Thanks for the feedback.  Will always go by internal temp, just want to be able to allow for enough time for it to get there. If I allow for 2 hours per pound, I know when to start really eyeballing IT instead of smoker temp.  I only have a single probe therm so it has to do double duty.

    Question about Smoking multiple butts - how to calculate the expected time on the smoker

    Thanks all,  Coming off at 1630 gives me an hour in the cooler and pulling it as they arrive with a minimum 30 minutes or more to spare.

    Question about Smoking multiple butts - how to calculate the expected time on the smoker

    Noob Question.  When Calculating the expected smoke time for mulitple butts do I take the total weight of the Meat or the larger of the two? Is there some other calculations I need to be making? For instance: Scenario 1:  5lb butt 6lb butt 2 hours * 6 = 12 hours or Scenario 2: 5lb butt...

    Pulled Pork in a Crock Pot?

    Nothing wrong with Crock pot "Qing" Good advice all throughout this thread. My wife has been doing Crock pot Que-ing  for a few years now and she's getting better at it. We've had some great stuff and not so great stuff.  Don't over cook it, It's easier to do than you would think.  It will dry...
