    First butt in the smoker!

    Glad ya'll enjoyed the show. To clarify, that was TWO 5 lb butts in 2 days along with 2 batches of 5 lbs each of boneless thighs.  First run was with mesquite and #2 was hickory. We ate a bit of it and I vac packed a bunch so my folks could keep the smoked goodness going until next Summer when...

    First butt in the smoker!

    Sorry I took so long folks, but the last week or so we were out on the water kayaking. It tasted as good as it looks too! One of two 5 pounders along with some boneless thighs on the top rack.  I did this twice with different rubs on successive days. Ready for pulling. The bone slid...

    First butt in the smoker!

    Your patience will be richly rewarded.  LOL Well I couldn't keep me eyes open any longer so I wrapped the butt in foil and stuffed it into the fridge at 1 AM and 198 F.  Before I cover it up I gave the bone a little wiggle and it felt pretty loosy goosy and the whole butt was nice and squishy...

    First butt in the smoker!

    Thanks JJ, good to be back in the USA and using my big grill again. We're here for another week then we jet back home to my lil Stove Top Smoker again. Thanks for the tip Jar.  That's pretty close to what I'm doing now.  My temp started climbing again after I loaded more briqs in so I'm...

    First butt in the smoker!

    In fact I'll be doing TWO butts in succession.  First one is getting mesquite with a rub that I'm not sure I can remember all the ingredients as I just find things that are friends and invite em to the party. Lets see now. -Sweet Baby Rays Original for the sticky base. -1/4 C finely ground...

    FINISHING SAUCE (for Pulled Pork)

    Your sauce is definitely da bomb Jeff.  I drizzled some over my last batch of PP and it gave just the right tang to it all.  A perfect complement to Q.

    2 stage butt

    Well its been a spell since I did a Q.  Been busy with some renos at the ranch and just haven't had a lot of time. Today I took a break and went after it though.  Same as the last attempt, I grabbed a nice boneless 2 kg. butt, but instead of mustard I went with a BBQ marinade I found at my...

    My husband is ready to throw out his smoker!

    Not an experienced smoker here, but "Black Soot" means you have a flame problem or those wet chips are throwing soot up.   Like Venture said, you should a nice blue flame with a touch of orange/yellow at the tips for a clean burn. And use dry chips.  Wet chips are for grills not smokers.

    2 stage butt

    Yeah, my bad JJ.  I don't blame you at all.  After I killed this one I started thinking it was the safety factor you had in mind.  I actually had the oven down to 250 at one point (and failed to listen to "that little voice saying "leave it there") as I was adjusting the temp but I bumped it...
