    First pork butts w/qview

    Okay the smaller butt I brought to 195 degrees and pulled. I also used a finishing sauce I got from the forums. The sauce really made it succulent. The larger butt I brought to 175 and I plan to slice it. I was very pleased with the outcome of this smoke. It took 12 hours for the smaller...

    Anyone Ever Smoked One of These?

    I'm not into the trophy hunting either. It's all about the meat for me, but the villagers need to eat too, and I understand the game needs to be managed for a lot of reasons. A neighbor of mine looked into a hunt like that and it was the same deal. The meat stayed there. From what he told me...

    First brine and first smoked turkey

    I was a little concerned about that too, but I trusted my thermos and pulled it anyway. I think it was cooked perfectly. The juices were clear and the meat firm and moist. I think I will alter the brine and/or injection marinade next time though. I'd like it just a little bit saltier. maybe...

    First brine and first smoked turkey

    while I'm smoking my first turkey, I decided to tempt fate and try my first fattie as well. I have a large amount of breakfast sausage I had made from one of my wild hog kills, so I figure what the heck. pressed out sausage: onions, green onions, garlic, smoked jalapeno cajun sausage...

    First brine and first smoked turkey

    The bag is a jumbo size, is made by Hefty, and it's 2 1/2 gallons. It's perfect for the 11 pounder and about 1 1/2 gallons of brine solution. It leaves virtually no air left in the bag.

    Four months ago I was 6'2" 290 lbs. I am now still 6'2" but I am a much better 235 lbs. Feel great and I have my mile down to under 12 minutes. I got my smoker and joined these forums in the middle of my weight loss. I guess I felt the need for a bigger challenge. I never claimed to be a...

    Fabulous5 Star Exchange with Cowgirl

    Send me in there with my bow and a fist full of arrows and I'll thin them out. It seems to me that there would be some type of food program that feeds the hungry that could put that meat to good use. That is such a waste!!
