    A Pair Of Spares Beats A Full House!

    FYI:  Had a little incident tonight with my smoke.  Got overly involved in my house selling and didn't get to check the temps on time.  Went out there an hour after the last check and found temps up around 290 to 306 - WOW.  What's going on here?  My set temp is 235.  All 4 temps were up in that...

    Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)

    That's what I have been doing, but I got the feeling that I was getting some pretty wide swings on the temp of the MAV probe  - like +or - 15 degrees or so.  I thought that i would try to run one good accurate test to see how things agree.  What kind of temp swing do you get on your MAV box temp...

    A Pair Of Spares Beats A Full House!

    Yeah, you're right, Bear.  I've been so busy lately trying to sell our house that I can't do anything that way it should be.  But I guess that something is better than nothing. Backpacker

    Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)

    Going to give this recipe another try today.  Last time it turned out super. Also, going to run a test on the "box" temp control sensor.  I'm thinking it's pretty far off since my cooking takes so much longer than recipes call for.  I've got a mercury thermometer graduated in 1 degree...

    A Pair Of Spares Beats A Full House!

    Used the recipe and the spares turned out great - maybe a little tougher than I thought they would be but definitely "falling off the bone".  Had to alter the 2.5 x 2.5 x 1 to 4 x 1 x 1 due to unforeseen circumstances and couldn't be around when needed.  Still they turned out good.  Finished...

    Chucky Burnt Ends (with Mopar Powered “Hemi” Sauce)

    Thanks for the reply, Bear, The pictures of the clothes pins I was referring to was the 4th & 5th pictures where they are laying beside your smoking tray inside a foil pan.  One of them in pic 5, looks pretty burned up.   I do like the idea of the clothes pin holding the temp sensor in...

    Where to buy meat

    Once again, I want to thank all you guys who responded to my question.  I gained a lot of info, and learned that you guys that buy case loads of meat are serious smokers.   Again, thanks a lot for taking your time to respond. Backpacker

    Where to buy meat

    Thanks for the reply, Radioguy. Several people have mentioned buying by the case. How much meat is that? Butts, ribs, etc? Again, thanks, Backpacker

    Where to buy meat

    Thanks redheelerdog, cksteele, 3montes and smokin' al.  It looks as if I'm starting a list of possibilities.  Sam's and Costco are first on the list. Several of you guys said you have to buy in case lots - I suppose you vacuum pack the meat and then freeze it???   Or, do you use other means?  ...

    Where to buy meat

    Where do you buy your meat? I've been buying mine at Harris-Teeter, a local grocery chain and find the meat to have too much fat in it. Somebody somewhere said they had settled on Sam's. How about Costco or Public? Maybe a small grocer? What's your experience in getting good meat with out so...

    Unfortunately, no pic's. I was so pleased and yes, surprised, when I rolled back the tinfoil, I didn't think to take a picture - maybe next time? I'll be trying more of Bearcarver's Step by Step smoke's.

    Newbie encouragement

    Hey all you newbies, I finally had a successful smoke - after 5 poor attempts! I was a little discouraged with the poor results I was getting. The meat was ugly, dried up, wouldn't pull apart properly and had little flavor. I found Bearcarver's Step by Step procedure for smoking Boston Butte...

    GREAT recipe!!!!

    Hey Bear, I used your Step By Step recipe for Boston Buttes - Pulled Pork, and it turned out GREAT.  I followed your procedure to the letter, and the butte looked like the pictures, pulled apart like it's supposed to, and tasted like it's supposed to.  You did a fine job on the procedure.  This...
