    Help, butts done way too early

    Butts are done, but the party starts 11 hours from now. Should I shred and reheat? Let them sit in a cooler for as long as possible, shred, and crock pot it? Any other thoughts? I am baffled on this one. Normal one 8 pound butt takes me about 20 hours to smoke at 225 on my electric smoker...

    Kegerator/Keezer build

    Looks great. Mine is behind the wall so it is basic, but I have always been impressed with how people turn them into works of art. Chris

    Electric or Pellet smoker?

    I have a Cookshack 025 electric smoker and a Cookshack PG500 pellet grill. Both are awesome quality. I use them for different purposes. The smoker for low and slow and the pellet grill for cooks like poultry and steaks. I haven't tried to do low and slow on the pellet grill yet.

    $1.25 Butts and $2.45 Briskets

    I went with a friend to Costco two weeks ago and a brisket was $2.99. I don't have a membership, but that is the price range I am looking for.

    $1.25 Butts and $2.45 Briskets

    I always viewed them as a warehouse for food related things and a restaurant supply place.  In Michigan if you order soup or a desert I always figured it came from Gordon's.  We get their christmas cookes every year already cutout into Christmas shapes. https://www.gfs.com/en Chris

    Couple of butts

    One got done about 2 hours ago with the bone suckin rub. We ate it and had just shy of 2 pounds left for the freezer. Probably not the most flavorful rub for butts, but not bad. The second one is still smoking and currently at 195 degrees. I bumped the smoker to 245 degrees to finish it a...

    Couple of butts

    Putting on two butts tonight to stock the freezer up this winter with some smoked pork. One is bone suckin commercial rub and the other is a new rub I got out of the Webber grilling cookbook. Both are around 8 pounds. Smoking at 225 with hickory.

    Burnt ends? Maybe save for chili.

    We do have a Gordon's nearby. I admit that I never thought of them for meat before. I'll have to check it out.

    Burnt ends? Maybe save for chili.

    I cooked my first brisket earlier this summer. It turned out much better than expected, but I didn't make burnt ends mostly just because it was my first brisket. Instead I sliced and froze the point. Today I made some chili for the UofM and MSU game. Easily the best chili I ever made using...
