    4 butts on a Sunday!

    I have ran 4 butts on that smoker several times, but I think the average weight was more around the 7-8 pound range instead of 10-11 pound range.  I had all my bottom vents wide open, as usual, but it just couldn't recover after the meat was put on.  Rarely, if ever, do I have issues with it...

    4 butts on a Sunday!

    Alright, I haven't posted in awhile, and while I didn't take that many pictures, I'll post what I did take and how the day went down. So, on Friday, I picked up 4 boston butts totaling 42 pounds of raw weight for $2.59 a pound (ouch).  5 pounds of the finished product had already been reserved...

    My wife convinced me to buy a BBQ Guru DigiQ DX2

    Thank you for the update!  It sounds like it could be a vital addition to any smoking guru's stable of products!

    Looking for some insight - sweet rub, sweet sauce

    Hey recipe crew! My first post over here, but hopefully it'll be worth it! I'm looking to develop a sweet rub, that isn't totally brown sugar or sugar based, to go on some pulled pork.  Since I know the rub won't make the meat too sweet, I'm also looking for some sauce recipes. The sauce I'd...

    How I start and use my WSM....

    Good, everything ran as well as it usually does!  Ribs were amazing, the pulled pork is in the freezer awaiting a wedding rehearsal dinner here in a few weeks.

    Ok, here we go.

    That's awesome, we appreciate the update!  Word of mouth is the best marketing that anyone can get!

    Ok, here we go.

    I'm glad I subscribed to this post. Rib, I think you should start a post about what you are doing now with the food trailer, your plans, and then a crap load of build pictures, because as we all know, we love them!

    How I start and use my WSM....

    I always see people talking about only having one vent open or two partially open.  I run my WSM with all three open, 275 degrees (verified with a Maverick thermometer), and I can run all day on one load.  No re-loading charcoal, the hotter temp lets me power the butts through the stall a bit...

    My wife convinced me to buy a BBQ Guru DigiQ DX2

    x2 on that knifebld.  Awesome thread - I have the smaller WSM, 18.5" I believe, and while I've never heard of a gasket kit for it, I have looked into the bbq guru a time or two.  It looks like it would make for some nice, low and slow, overnight smokes!  I do quite a bit of pulled pork for the...

    Motivate Me!

    Are you comfortable running your smoker over night?  No reason that you can't start it at 10PM, get a nice nap in, and get up early to check the temp!  Once the meat is cooked, just wrap it in foil, wrap that with towels, and place it in a cooler!  It'll stay warm for hours until you are ready...

    too smoky???

    Yep, totally clear...kind of like mud :) The joys of a subjective topic and peoples opinions from different area's of the country/world!  But yes, I understand your point of view and appreciate the explanation! And yes, then I guess I will be building a "pit" at sometime...when time allows!
