    Boston Butt results!

    Looks great! Yes, go with sand is my recommendation, too. Cover it with foil and leave a slight depression in it to catch whatever falls. (makes for quicker clean-up too) As I have heard Rich/others explain, water acts more like a regulator to help control temp. (the water evaps to help...

    Hot smokin a batch O drummies

    Saw them for 3-4 bucks on sale recently at a Lowe's or Home Depot. These places are already starting to dump their smoke/grill stuff. (we just go rolling here in Meeechigan) PS -- I like your legs too, Capt.

    All Nighter VS. Precook

    Yea, it sure was nice when I got the ET-73 even though it was early on in my 'career' it made the late niters easier to deal with. But I find I don't sleep soundly knowing an alarm is set as I just don't want to ruin any meat.

    All Nighter VS. Precook

    This is where I come out, too. However, pulled pork re-heated properly IS really good. It is hard for me to tell. Joe, D88de -- If you catnap (usually with the thermo alarm set) - does that qualify as an all-niter? This is how I have done it a few times.

    High and Low Temp Alarms

    This thread is about the ET-73 and many here like it. (it is why I ended up with mine and I have been very happy) There are other choices out there but I don't know much about them.

    Thanks for sharing. I always wonder what the turn-ins look like by different folks.

    Finishing off butt in crock pot?

    If you can, smoke it ahead of time then re-heat in crock pot or oven like D88de says, it saves the stress of trying to 'time it' for your event knowing you have to let the meat to get to proper 'temp'.

    Hi all

    Welcome to the SMF. They have you covered well already. I could add to start with Jeff's rubs (a few $) assuming you don't do yer own. Next decide what meat to try first. A pork butt is good (takes a while) -- see the sticky in the Pork forum.

    Bread Pan for Wood chunks?

    Joe has it for my experience. I just have the dry chunks on the coals in the drum and use a 9" pie pan to hold the dry chunks in the ECB electric. You can also just set them 'near' the element of the ECB. I still get the chunks igniting, though, so it is not full proof.

    What's your Favorite?

    Butt for me. However, I must confess I need to do a brisket soon so I can say I prefer one over the other for smoking as I may stink at it. (I certainly do prefer Butt for taste due to how I was raised on pulled pork but brisket can be mighty tasty.)
