Two Butts for the Kids' Birthday
Well, they came off the smoker just shy of 4:30am. 165 degrees. I put them in a pan with foil in the oven at 225 to finish them off to 195. Funny thing was that I never noticed any stall. These were the first butts where I never saw one. Party is not until 2pm. I honestly thought they would... -
Todays smoke!! A couple butts...
Man, I will be thrilled if mine turn out half as good-looking as those bad boys! -
Two Butts for the Kids' Birthday
Hello all. I haven't been on for a while and haven't smoked anything in at almost a year! Life got in the way a little bit, but am looking forward to smoking some tasty goodness all summer. It is a drizzly, chilly evening here in Denver, but I am determined to not let that spoil our... -
How important is it?
I agree 100% with what Rivet said. It doesn't have to be a cooler. It will just stay warmer longer. If you are ready to eat. let it sit on the counter. When braising, say a beef roast, you do the same thing; pop it out of the oven and let it sit on the counter for half an hour. -
Live from Denver -- w/Q-View
Sorry for the late reply. I have the same smoker as you do, and I really enjoy not having to tend a fire if I am not in the mood. I will say that from a culinary perspective, water boils at a lower temperature, which affects mostly candy-making and baking. However, I do know that it takes me... -
How important is it?
I agree with the above, and I can tell you that I have done it both ways -- several times. whenever I have to skip the rest period because I started too late, the meat is not nearly as moist and tender as when it rests. I will also add, that you never want to squeeze the meat when either... -

I am just about 5 minutes north of downtown. I like living near the city and making my neighbors drool over REAL BBQ. There is VERY LITTLE of it in Denver.. -
Live from Denver -- w/Q-View
Yeah, it was one of the best shoulders I have smoked. It turned out really nice considering I moved it to the oven....Thanks for the kind words. With respect to the weather, I am (and always will be) a Texas boy, and I don't much like the cold! -

Live from Denver -- w/Q-View
It is a chilly morning here in Denver, CO. I woke up and poured a cup of coffee; The pork shoulder went on the smoker at 9am -- the morning dew is still frozen to the ground. Seven and a half pounds of gristle-filled meat will be falling apart in around 12 hours. The smell of the smoke is... -
