    Moppin sauce for brisket

    I have also seen a ton of mentions about Italian dressing. I personally go with a mixture of Jack Daniels and Apple Juice. Get a really nice bark from the carmelization of the sugars in the whiskey and juice.

    2nd Time Around on Ribs

    Just took ribs off about 10 mins ago, ended with a 2-2-.45 on this round. One slab fell into 3 pieces when I went to take it off. I have some pics, but can not figure out this board's system for posting q-view. Help is appreciated.

    2nd Time Around on Ribs

    Well Wayside, you will be happy to know I am using a rub very similar to Gates and have Gates Original sauce for tonight. May I help you?

    Need some help on times!

    I am a newbie as well, but I think you need to cook the roast to a higher temp so the fat will render and you will end up with a juicer finished product. Someone else may correct me and please do if I am wrong. I am thinking closer to 170-180 on the roast though.

    2nd Time Around on Ribs

    Im working hard on keeping my temp steady around 225-240. I do add wood, have damper open and even a cracked open lid on firebox any other suggestions on working to keep temp consistant? I know practice makes perfect and every smoker is different, but suggestions most welcomed.

    2nd Time Around on Ribs

    Yes we have, although I hope this Mulder thing finally works out for us after we sent you Haren for a couple of years. And it is still amazing how many cards fan have not warmed up to Tony still. I have been happy since the day it was announced. Q-view should be up later today.

    St Louis Style

    Rick thanks for the heads up on the Gates items. Fortunately for me, my wife's family is from a bit over an hr south of there so I get a regular supply from my in-laws of the rub and sauce.

    Roast

    3lb rump roast. Sorry about that one guys. I know crockpot is likely better but figured if I cooked it low and used some combo of foil and juices towards the end, I could have some success.
