How long does the "stall" last?
I cook Pork butts the majority of the time and I have to wonder if your thermometer either in the meat or in the cooker is off? I used to get the stall around 160F for a few hours, but never that long. Typically a 6-7lbs butt will take me 12 hours just about bone-in, a little under 10...- tcaptain

I just did my first pork butt in the gasser, I did a chicken a couple of...- tcaptain

First pork butt of the season, with a new smoker - with q-view
Hey fellow smokers! Finally got a chance to seriously use my new Masterbuilt Pro Dual vertical smoker on the weekend with a nice pork butt. I marinated overnight (almost 24 hours really) with a marinade I threw together: 1 1/2 cups of Banana/Orange juice (I was out of apple and improvised)... -

Masterbuilt propane smokers
From my experience this Sunday, I'm not sure the foil pack would necessarily work.

Well I've been reading the Flavor Bible the last couple of days. I gotta say it was worth the money. Overall impression is that it's a great reference book. It gives a lot of ideas for combining flavors in different ways, beyond the classics too. I have a few specific impressions: The first...- tcaptain
