Thanks, they did pack the 2 7 pounders. I'm freezing one and smoking the other this week-end. I will be using Billbo's rub. I tried it before and it was great.
Pulled pork here i come.
I have a 14 lbs. pork shoulder to smoke to make pulled pork. I haven't smoked anything this large before. Any good rubs to recommend? How long should I smoke it for? 12 - 16 hours? Should I use large chunks of wood or shavings? Thanks.
Thanks Dave & Gary. I just putit on casters for easy moving. And I just lathered up some pork rubs with mustard and some of Billbo's rub. i have some of his sauce in the freezer ready to apply just before the table.
This forum is great. Larry

My smoke stack and air intake are both 4" dia. The air intake is in the middle of the bottom with an air diffussion plate between it and the element which sets on the plate.

Also, what's the rule of thumb about how long you need a real good concentration of smoke? Do you have lot's of smoke the first half, the last half or all the cooking time?

Ribs should be done in bout three hours have until...
Hi Bob, have you considered tempering the inside with food grade linseed oil? There are a few real good posts here in SMF on how to temper a skillet. Just do the same for the inside. To temper the oil it needs to get 400 degrees min for at least an hour. Any paint should be food grade. I did...
Yes it's very much like mine. I did take the door apart and replaced the insulation there. I chose the Brinkmann's element based on size and it did not have a thermostat as part of it. I saw the Pakstat thermostat with the display so that I could control the element from outside without having...
Thanks Scotter. Can't wait to do more smokin. Quite a change from the rusty mess. I'm going to have to put to sleep this post or call it something else.
