    Big Butt (Shoulder)

    I know you can't really mess up a butt, however, I am doing one much larger than I am used too 10.5 pounds. Still looking to do low and slow.  How long do you feel it will take. 12 hours? or more

    To Wrap or not to wrap

    I see a lot of people say to wrap a butt in foil at 165?? Is this for time.. The reason I ask is I have a cheater smoker (electric) that keeps a constant time. If I put 16 pounds - 2 8 pounds.. Do I really need to wrap it or give time to work its way up. I like a bark. I took to 205 last time...

    Resting Help!!!!!

    Admitted Novice on the smoker..... What I learned is not to rush the process.  Cherry Wood has turned out to be just awesome on pork but. I have heard several therory's on resting it. Whats the best way to rest this thing once I get it to 200. Mainly do I wrap it in foil?  How long?

    Newbie on the Shoulder

    Yes I think this is going to turn out to be a disaster for me. I have people coming over. I researched and researched and using this website assumed 1/2 hour pound.  Since I am cheating with a electric smoker and I have not opened the door at all since 6 am. I thought 10 1/2 hour would be enough...

    Newbie on the Shoulder

    Excited about the shoulder i have got going. I was concerned about the time it took. It thought it was going to fast. Now I am worried that its going to slow. I have had a 7 pound shoulder in there for 10 1/2 hours at 225. I am stuck at 189. I hoping it get to 200 but how long you think. Love...
