    Advice on reheating pulled pork.

    And what's a ball park on time people find for say a pulled 6 lb butt? 250 for 2 hours? 350 for one? Thanks

    Advice on reheating pulled pork.

    What is that temp? What does one want to shoot for when reheating in oven?

    Catching Butt Drippings for Reheat Next Day

    So let's say I'm glazing my meat during the smoke. Any reason I can't still use the drippings since they will be full of the glaze that ran off the butt? Also if I have a glaze made up of OJ, lime juice, brown sugar, and a hot pepper, do you think it's safe to sit out for the 10-12 hours of the...

    Catching Butt Drippings for Reheat Next Day

    Great info guys. Gonna have to give these all a try. Question: when reheating in a pan in an oven, how much of the drippings would one add? I don't like my pork soggy but obviously don't want it dry. Do you spritz it on top? just barely moisten it and mix throughout? Put a thin layer in the...

    Someone mentioned the probe being sterile which makes sense. How does one sterilize the probes?

    Catching Butt Drippings for Reheat Next Day

    Looked around and didn't find anything that quite answered this but please point me there if I'm wrong. I need to make a couple butts a day in advance, and from other's suggestions I've read to: Smoke 'em Rest 'em Pull 'em 'fridgerate 'em Put in 350* oven in their juices for a couple hours...

    Maverick et-735

    The features of the 735 mentioned here are great but BT limits it and it needs an app update. My smoker is on my deck 12' from the house. If I go upstairs and get more than 25' away it disconnects. If I go to far to the front of my house it disconnects (nor more than 30'). And there is no...

    Getting through danger zone

    Last butt I smoked barely made it through the danger zone. I'm thinking about doing two or three for my daughter's birthday party but am worried about not making it out in time and wasting 4 hours. For that last butt (6.5 lb) I let it get to room temp for about 30 minutes to an hour (can't...

    Sustaining Smoke

    That's great help Al. Thanks! I will try this and I'm sure be much happier and have more success. How do you prep the smoker? I was doing high like a grill and to get smoke going, but hate getting blasted with the first smoke when I open the door to put the meat on, so I started getting it hot...

    SMOKED PORK BUTT 101

    Pork Butt 101 question: I have done all my butts with a Habanero glaze. I love it, but admittedly it's a pain and a lot of opening the smoker and messing with temp adjustments. So.... If I'm not glazing, do I need to moisten my butt at all or can I just let er go low and slow? I'm thinking of...

    Sustaining Smoke

    Hey all. Getting ready to fire this smoker up again after a long late winter and I want to be on my A game this summer. Who better to help me do that than the talent here. I wanted to bump this topic up again. Since I wrote this, I've switched to store bought apple chunks (maybe fist sized...

    Basics on Using Own Wood

    My mom has some apple trees that she has either trimmed or cut down and I'm wanting to put the wood to good use. My question is, what are the basics I need to know about using wood I didn't buy in a store? My understanding is that it should be dry for at least a year. By Dry, I'm assuming that...

    Need Some Emergency Game Time Advice

    Thanks guys for taking the time to reply. Just getting some feed back from people who know what they are doing makes me feel a ton better. My usual method is to smoke a 5ish lb butt for around 6 hours and take it to 170. Let it rest for 30 minutes. I must say that it is very difficult to pull...

    Need Some Emergency Game Time Advice

    This is my 4th or 5th Butt I've done with this same method. this is the Second on my SV24. I put a 5.78 lb butt on around 8:30 this morning. Been holding the smoker between 220 and 235. After the first 2 hours I've been glazing every 45 minutes. I had a couple Pheasants on too that I took off...

    Sustaining Smoke

    I'm smoking some ribs for lunch today but am having trouble sustaining smoke for linger than what feels like 20-30 minutes a a time. I'm using wood chips on my SV 24 and about every 20-30 minutes I look out and don't see any smoke. I may see a little creeping put the lower vents or the door...

    Maverick et-735

    So I have since read up and my understanding is that because of my elevation, despite it being only 1,000 feet, water boils at around 210.3 degrees. So, 209 is pretty good. However, I guess the 2 off brand probes from the seller are just junk if they both read 20 degrees lower. I also trie the...
