A long smoke on my day off
Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I finally realized today where some of the heavy flavor could have come from. I was using wood from a different apple tree. Not sure how much that will make a difference and I'm going to have to experiment with it in my old smokers to see but for now I...- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
Wouldn't you know it, I forgot to take pitchers of the final product. Everyone showed up and we got busy and pictures were the last thing on my mind. The beans were AMAZING. The butt wasn't my best but still good. I thought it had a slight harsh smoke flavor, but then again I inhaled a ton of...- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
5:00pm Pulled off the smoker. IT of 197* which I know is lower then normal but it was falling apart done. It's wrapped in foil in a cooler right now. Some sausage went and life is good.- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
3:28 Hit a late stall. I've never had a butt stall at 180*+ but it hit 180* at 1:36 and it's at 185* now. ST has been consistently 230*. I didn't foil. Still have 3 hours until anybody even shows and then we will probably play with my old truck for awhile so I'm letting it ride. Time to go pick...- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
In my life, today's a relaxing day. I was done with work by 10am and now I'm drinking a beer watching my IT climb one number at a time. Might even get done and wrapped in the cooler in time for a nap. 128513128513128513- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
12:00 Pulled the beans off. Temps shot up instantly so I had to shut the vents down to about 1/4 open on both. ST is holding solid at 243* now and IT is 166* and climbing. I want to take this time to throw a huge shout out to Dutch. These beans are crazy good. I'm looking for a cast iron...- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
10:25 Got home and realized how big of an idiot I was for leaving the terracotta saucer in with a pot of beans on my bottom rack. My ST was 185*. It worked great for this instance because I needed to leave for 3 hours and I didn't have any runaways while gone but next time I'll be smarter and...- thegreatmc

7:15 Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans go on. I have to leave for 2+ hours and they hopefully will help keep temps low. IT 159*- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
Busy is an understatement. 2 jobs plus college for myself is going to kill me. At least I'll die with good food, though. The heavier then TBS is due to the fresh briquettes. It'll clear in a minute I promise.- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
The only issue is even though it's my day off from my primary job I have to go to the local junior college and teach a course from 8-10am. I want this thing to be rock solid before I leave for more then 2 hours. I also hope I get one heck of a stall because I have an hour and a half before I...- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
5:20 Quick panic. I feel asleep and woke up to a smoker temp of 280* and climbing fast. I open the lid and the fat is rendering out of the shoulder and as soon as it hits the terracotta saucer diffuser it starts to burn, accounting for the extra heat. I forgot to wrap the saucer in foil and at...- thegreatmc

12:54 Smoker Temp at 215*, throw on the roast fat cap up and adjust the vents to both are 1/4 open. 1:02 ST back up and at 241*. I really want this to run below 250* today so that way I can have time to not worry about it. We will see if that happens. In the 2 minutes it took to type this it's...- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
6 KBB briquettes lit and dumped at 12:05pm. Filled the charcoal basket as full as I could with KBB and chunks of apple wood cut from local trees. P.S. It is a 7lb "Pork Shoulder". Pretty sure it's a Boston Butt and not a picnic roast.- thegreatmc

A long smoke on my day off
I'm working nights with Wednesday as my only real day off and I have buddies in town so I decided I'd cook a butt for everyone enjoy, plus some extras to be named later. Rubbed my butt at 2:30pm. I was to tired to mix up my own rub and had a commercial one I picked up at my local grocery store...- thegreatmc
