Here's the update...
My daughter is fine. Doc says she probably has caught some virus and is probably just constipated. Got her some laxative and juice and she should be fine in a day or two.
As for the butt, we actually left before I got a chance to read the responses. I chose to leave it...
I put a 7.4 lb pork butt on this morning about 430a. Right now, at 1150a, the temp is at 194F. My daughter has been complaining of some pain since yesterday--it was very mild yesterday, but she says its worse today. So we called the Dr and the Dr can see her at 1p, so we'll have to leave here...
I stumbled across this looking for some other info, but in reading some of the posts, it sounds like several people are talking past each other. Here are some of my experiences that may connect some seemingly unconnected points made. Its been my experience that the more the vent is open, the...
Ok, so I was planning on doing some baby backs in my MES today. While heating things up, I went to the grocery store. They had packer cut briskets on sale and since I was already smoking, I got a small one that went 7.88 lbs. I probably trimmed off a lb of fat. I then put them all in the...
That would depend on what else was mixed into the smoothie. If the pH was kept low enough, then from a food safety standpoint, then I wouldn't have any issues--especially if it were cooked. However, from a flavor stand point; a raw chicken (or even cooked for that matter) smoothie, I'd pass. ...
Guys, you'll be fine if you marinate even known-to-be-tainted chicken with any other meat in a marinade of orange juice and adding lemon juice and/or lime juice makes it even that much better--their pH range is down closer to 2. The pH of orange juice ranges from 3 to 4. No pathogens can grow...
In absence of bourbon, you might want to try some rum or something else. Vodka's appeal in many cocktails is because its relatively flavorless. Once you cook off the alcohol in vodka, there's not much flavor left.
You can get their seasoning by itself in a shaker at the grocery store and if you're on your way to OH, you don't have to stop in S. IN for some Grippos, they're an OH company--based in Cincinnati. And if you like BBQ flavored chips, you definitely need to try Grippos.
I'm curious myself. I've done a couple that turned out pretty good. The one thing I've noticed though on the MES is that it seems like they finish a little quicker than you'd expect. But as long as I"m going by temp of the meat, I've had no issues.
I use chips because they're readily available--especially in different different woods like pecan and apple. I've never seen pellets for sale anywhere.
But I really like to do is take some hickory logs (but other types would work as well) that are about the size of your wrist and 6 - 8...
