    Lava Lock ATC-1 Controller

    Hey all, Just got a Lava Lock ATC-1 Controller for my Weber Smokey Mountain 18". Couldn't be happier. So far it's working great and I got the whole thing installed and setup in the time it took to fire up a chimney. One question, it's not water proof and here in the Midwest it can rain...

    Generating smoke

    What's wrong with cooking at 275? You can still get awesome tender bbq at that temp. It's more about pulling the meat when it probes tender than what temp you cooked it at. Another thing, you shouldn't actually see much smoke when you are smoking meat. You want a clear to blue color smoke. But...

    17lb brisket tomorrow

    Many smoke full packers at 275 with no problem. Some do hot and fast at 350+ but that would probably take practice. I would do 275 and wrap when you are happy with the bark. Cook to 195 and then check for tenderness. When it probes like butter you are good to go.

    Dry vs Wet Timing

    Curing some bacon. Went for an equilibrium cure and added to it maple syrup and kecap manis. I didn't go overboard with amounts, just added maybe half a cup of each to a 9lb slab of bacon. Put it in with the ingredients for the cure. 10 days in and there is a lot of liquid in the bag. Did I...

    Smoking a brisket

    I thought the sell by date for vacuum packed meat was made it because it can last a long time in those bags. And no one regulates those dates, they are left up the business.

    Brisket and Pork Shoulder on WSM

    I have the same pit, WSM 18. Be prepared to fiddle with vents early on and a bit through the cook if you have temp swings in the weather outside. Mine takes about 1-1.5, hrs to settle in where the gray smoke dies out and the clear smoke/blue smoke comes out. If you can't wait, at least give it...

    time frame for smoking butt cut in half

    The [email protected] and [email protected] are just guides. They aren't science. Butts and brisket are done when they are done. Weight is not the largest factor in cook time, but size and shape are. IE if your meat is 4" thick by 8” long and you cut it in half from long ways you now have 2 4"x4" pieces. They will...

    Is it Normal for Boneless Pork Shoulder to Look Like This

    After a second rain storm I completely changed plans and put the pieces in a foil pan and covered with foil. Into the oven at 225. I kept oven temps low because my meat chunks weren't the same size. And sure enough the small ones were probe tender before the large ones by at least an hour...

    Pork shoulder took forever! Why?

    Folks have written about the 1.5hrs per pound of meat. Its just a metric or guide, dont treat it as gospel. In reality the thickness of your meat matters more than weight. A thick piece of meat, almost regardless of weight, will cook faster than a thin piece. So you can cook a 3lb salmon fillet...

    Is it Normal for Boneless Pork Shoulder to Look Like This

    Wow. I had no idea this was normal. I figured the intern at the butcher shop got a hold of this one and I picked up their training experiment. Great to know, thanks everyone! What I did is rub everything down shown in the last picture and put them all on the smoker. I'm going to check temp as I...

    Is it Normal for Boneless Pork Shoulder to Look Like This

    My wife picked up a pork shoulder (not realizing it was boneless) from Costco and it came out like the pics show below. Is this normal for boneless? I've never done boneless before, plenty of bone-in though. So I did my best to trim the lose small pieces away and ended up with 5 pieces that...

    My First Brisket Cook!

    Great job on your first one. The first one is always the hardest. I would be surprised if the flat was overcooked. It's very rare that happens. I'm betting it actually needed more time even though that may seem counterintuitive. A lot of folks around here do the probe tender check at 195. And...

    Dry Age Steaks?

    I've done a brisket and ribeye rack with great results! The brisket was wild. I can't explain the juice that was pouring out of it. Never seen a brisket do that. I followed Sous Vide Everything (YouTube) method with Umai Dry Age bags. Worked great and was really easy. For your first time the...

    Simple question from an obvious newb

    Something like this: https://www.amazenproducts.com/. Note, I'm not connected to this product and not endorsing this specific one. Just giving an example of what a tube is. You load it with pellets, light it, and let it add smoke.

    Weber Smokey Mountain cook tray

    I saw a YouTube video where a guy made his own cart. He used 4x4 wood that he probably screwed together. Put heavy duty small rubber tires on it and fastened a handle to move it. He then used some small brackets to fasten the WSM to the cart. Seems like you could more easily do something like...
