    First Pork Shoulder w/ Q-view

    I'm finding out what this stall everyone has been talking about is. My meat has been at 185 for an hour and a half now.

    First Pork Shoulder w/ Q-view

    Shoulder is doing good so far. I am finding out though, that the temperature you get all depends on where in the meat you stick the probe. Earlier I probed it and it was close to 200 so I started getting stuff ready to pull it out, then I checked it again in a different spot and it was about 185ish.

    First Pork Shoulder w/ Q-view

    I just checked again, and in the last hour my meat temp went from 160 to 210!!! That is WAYYY to fast. What do i do? False alarm. I went back out and checked again, this time probing another section and it is at 182. I am doing boneless, so i must have probed into a gap where there were some...

    First Pork Shoulder w/ Q-view

    I just checked the smoker again and my charcoal was starting to go out. I stirred up the coals and threw some wood chunks in there. It started coming back up to heat again but I'm not sure if it will hold or not. Any ideas?

    First Pork Shoulder w/ Q-view

    Yeah, I'm going to test out my maverick later. I just checked the butt though with the manual probe and it is right on target: 160 degrees at an hour and a half in. Since Jeff suggested foiling it at this point to bring it above the plateau and keep in some of the moisture, I poured some beer on...

    First Pork Shoulder w/ Q-view

    Since I am smoking my shoulder in the aluminum pan, when I foil it, should I just foil over the pan or foil the shoulder itself?

    First Pork Shoulder w/ Q-view

    I don't know if i want to bother too much with the thermo now that the meat is already in. If my gauge on the smoker is right (and I'm pretty sure it is), then the ET73 is 20 degrees too high. The butt is about 3.75 lbs and I put it in at 930 CDT. I'm going to check it at 11 and get a reading...

    BBQ and fantasy football? Sounds like a good day to me. Good luck in the draft!

    First Pork Shoulder w/ Q-view

    Doing my first shoulder today. They are calling for isolated thunderstorms, so lets hope that they are isolated somewhere else. Got off to a decent start this morning; I got the smoker fired up pretty quickly and the shoulder is on. My ET 73 receiver isn't getting any readings though, so I have...

    Looking to smoke my first butt

    Thus far I have only smoked ribs and my wife has been wanting me to do pulled pork, so I think I'm gonna give it a go this weekend. I am a bit lost in the sauce, if you will, about the whole process.  In Jeff's 5-day, he talks about prepping the butt the same way you would ribs pretty much. Do...

    Bring the Rain! (Memphis in May ribs w/ Q-view)

    Finished inhaling my dinner and updated the OP with the final results. The tweaks I made to the finishing sauce worked out well. It didn't have the overwhelming vinegar taste it had last time. I threw a pinch of cayenne in it as well to add a little more kick. My brother-in-law was impressed and...
