    What are the principles of preserving moisture in long pork smokes?

    I've read different recipes for pulled pork, smoked for long hours, and left wondering what's the principle for the initial rub or mop sauce to keep the meat moist, but absorbing smoke flavors, without drying out. Not looking for a recipe but why the recipes are what they are. For example...

    Foresemo29, what was the temperature you set the smoker at when you started? 200F?

    REC TEQ Deck Boss 590

    I got a 590 in early July. Have grilled quick and slow smoked many times since, everything came out good, easy to use. Even smoked beans, which come out delicious as well. Broccoli also grilled well at 400ish, came out delicious. It is easy to clean, no rust anywhere, and has a large hopper...

    Longer lasting grill/smoker

    Thank you all for the pointers. I ended up getting a Deck Boss 590, so far so good, was able to cook good tasting seared burgers, flank steak and also 3-2-1 ribs. Will keep this thread in my bookmarks and report a few years in the future about the longevity.

    Longer lasting grill/smoker

    The rot is everywhere inside the cooking chamber. The grates are almost ready to fall into the chamber because the little shelf at the back that supports them has corroded and only about 30% is left. I don't think I do anything wild with it for this to happen. I've used it on average twice...

    Longer lasting grill/smoker

    Thank you all for the extra pointers! Understood that 304 stainless steel is best. Found this info explaining the difference between 304 and 430 at ThyssenKrupp: The introduction to nickel in 304 makes it a much more corrosion resistant grade than 430 however, it does make it more expensive...

    Longer lasting grill/smoker

    Just noticed the Camp Chef Woodwind model has a stainless steel body. That might be the solution to what I'm looking for. It is somewhat expensive at $1200 for the 36" model.

    Longer lasting grill/smoker

    I'm in Florida as well, close to Fort Lauderdale but not on the intracoastal. My grill is under a covered area, it doesn't get rained on or anything similar. That's why I'm believing it's the quality of the materials Masterbilt uses. Except if there's some magical cleaning procedure and...

    Longer lasting grill/smoker

    Hi Y'all, would like to hear any opinions on brands/models that last longer than 3 years. I'm a happy owner of a Masterbilt 850 gravity series, but it's nearing the 3 year mark and rusting everywhere. Soon will be a goner. I'd like to research what to buy next to have a similar result but...
