    Orange glazed pork tenderloin

    By the looks of things, I'd have to agree.

    Did the Crown Roast yesterday

    Leftovers? I can help! 😁 Did you save the bones? They make a fabulous beef stock!

    Only use some burners Blackstone

    That was going to be my recommendation as well.

    Some Pork Butt Questions

    I suppose I'm in the minority as I rarely ever tie a BB. I can recall one time where there must have been a rookie butcher at the Piggly Wiggly that looked like it had been in a knife fight and lost. I had to net that poor thing. The good news was more surface area for rub! 😎

    45 Day Dry Aged Grassfed Beef 3 Bone Standing Rib Rack/Prime Rib/Rib Roast

    Wonderful job, for sure! As for the broth, several years ago, The Better 9/10ths and I did the same thing with the bones. She used the broth, along with a nice Chianti, to make a braised beef and raviolis using a chuck roast. Damn, it was good!

    Smoking my first brisket this weekend, I've got a couple different pellets to choose from - what would be your pick?

    The brisket loves mesquite, oak, and hickory, as it is big enough for the bolder flavor profiles of those woods. I personally love to mix mesquite and hickory. If you only want to use what you have on hand, I'd go for the bourbon barrel.

    Yay...The Freezer

    Out of curiosity, Jim, why move from the chest to an upright? Personally, I prefer the upright for a particular reason. That said, The Better 9/10ths wants a chest version.

    Smoking boston butt over night

    At Lowes... https://www.lowes.com/pd/Pit-Boss-Expandable-7-12-in-Stainless-Steel-Smoke-Tube/5014597225 I use one of these for cold smoking and for the gas grill when I use it to smoke salmon.

    KJ Fish and Vegetable Stainless Grate

    Direct/indirect all depends on the fish. Salmon can be either one, but a light grill followed by an indirect finish works well. Swordfish loves direct over high heat. Veggies, for the most part, go well over direct. My favorite meal is a grilled salmon (at 140°) and grilled asparagus.

    Temp probe "stilt" risers?

    Grab a potato, cut it to the height you want it at and run your probe through it.

    Temperature

    Unless I'm cold smoking. 225° is the temp I cook everything at. Beef, pork, poultry and fish all get the same treatment. As answered before, it is normal for the smoker to lose temp when the lid is opened and cool food is introduced. Just avoid the temptation to increase the temp settings. Let...
