    Cooking temp

    My smoker is struggling to get above 200°, it's actually at 200°. It is 39°, sunny and a but windy. Should I be concerned about my bird being cooked safely enough to eat? Or should I put enough smoke on it and then put it in the oven?

    Brining and smoking 18lb turkey

    I ordered a 14 - 16 pound turkey. I get it today and it's an 18lb turkey. I'm planning on an 24 - 30 hour brine then letting it rest/drain about 8 hours. On turkey day I'm planning on smoking at 300° - 325° for 8 - 10 hours. Thoughts, criticisms, tip all welcomed

    Pork butt

    Even with the fluctuations in temp, it turned out excellent. I will be doing this again.

    Pork butt

    Had no sleep two night ago so am doing it now. The lid is an afterthought. Unfortunately my temp 8s fluctuating quite a bit. It is a work in progress, so we'll see. More to come

    Pork butt

    I have a 10# butt that I'm doing over an open flame, a fire pit. I have a food grate that I'm putting off to one side with cement blocks on the sides. The idea is to not have the coals directly under the meat. I'm looking for affirmation or ideas. 😀😀
