Do you use a finishing sauce when you are pulling beef? -
Cooking steaks straight over wood?
I Tivo'd a plethora of Alton Brown episodes at my girlfriend's place and he was doing an episode on Steak that I watched over the weekend. He got a nice hot bed of coals going and then blew them with a hair dryer to get all of the ash off of the top and then threw down a flank steak right on top... -
Pork Butt vs. Shoulder
I live in Chambersburg - south central PA I guess I didn't state my second question right. What temperature should I let the shoulder/butt cool down to in order to pull it? -
Pork Butt vs. Shoulder
I am planning on doing my first but Sunday night to have ready for Labor Day. At my local butcher shoppe they have pork butts for $3.19/lb and they are around 6 lbs each. I was hoping for something a little bigger. At the grocery store they have pork shoulders at around 9 lbs for $12-13. So... -
First Brisket Smoke
I had projected that it would take around 9 hours. I ended up having to battle the elements because it became pretty windy about half way through the smoke and I had trouble maintainting my temperature in the smoker. So it took around 11 hours total! -
Beer Can Chicken
On Friday night I picked up a 7.5 Roaster, rubbed it down and smoked it on the beer can aparatus. Turned out great! Thanks for everyone's advice. -
First Brisket Smoke
Sorry it took so long for me to post, but here is the finish product. I ended up eating it for lunch with Dutch's Beans for 4 days last week. I loved it! -
Beer Can Chicken
I just picked up one of those gadgets to a chicken with a beer can. I was just wondering what you guys would recommend for prepping the chicken. I was thinking about just putting alittle rub on it, maybe under the skin if possible. But would anyone recommend brining it? I plan to smoke it... -
First Brisket Smoke
Here is the Q-view so far. Today is the perfect day to be out smoking some meat! I got a wireless meat thermometer at walmart last night for $15. I calibrated it and it was 211 in boiling water so not bad. Brisket has been in for a little over three hours and is at 134 degrees. Brisket with... -
First Brisket Smoke
Thanks everyone for the input. I had a feeling that was a little high in price, but the butcher shoppe I get it from is kinda on the expensive side but always great quality. Can't wait for tomorrow morning to roll around!! -
First Brisket Smoke
Well last night I went to the local butcher and picked up a six pound brisket for Saturday. I rubbed it down and it is currently in the fridge, I am sick with anticipation. I had a couple of questions that I haven't really settled on for myself, and I know everyone has their own method but I... -
Critiques and Critisms please
Cabela's Stainless Vertical Propane Smoker I am looking to upgrade from a generic version of the ECB that I got at Kmart to a cabinet smoker with propane. The Smokey Mountain Big Block sounds a lot like what I want but I can't locate one. I called Bass Pro Shop and they have one in stock that...- pa_smoker

Fatty Deserves It's Own Category!!
I would agree too. I have never made a fattie and am still trying to grasp the concept and I think a fattie FAQ sticky under the categorie would be helpful too. I'm a greenhorn and I'm just taking a stab of what it is. But from my understanding a fattie is loose sausage layed out about an... -
Greetings from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania
Thanks for the warm welcome. I went ahead and did myself a favor and signed up for the five day E-course. I also purchased Jeff's Rib Rub Recipe and BBQ Sauce Recipe on Thursday. I still haven't received the recipes and I was just wondering if it usually takes a couple days to receive. I... -
Greetings from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania
My name is Brian and I'm fresh to the meat smoking scene. One of my friends moved a couple of years ago and didn't want to take his smoker with him (it was in pretty rough shape - an old dome smoker). One of my other friends took it but we never used it. Last Saturday we were sitting around...
