    (PICTURES ADDED)7th Annual South Florida Gathering 2017 (Nov 17-19)

    Got some bad news from the place I go for the whole pigs. We missed the order cut off timeline for a fresh pig. Even if I was to order a frozen one they would not get it till next week and it will take a minimum of 3 days to thaw. I don't have the space or means to thaw it properly and safely...

    I am game for a whole pig. I'll kick in for that. Doug if your Lady is not able too, let me know. We have several Spanish markets here locally I can check at. I know not the same as picking out your own pig, but it is an option.

    Good to hear they might have HH up and running by then, I would think 2+ months later they would be in much better shape. They will have lots of fire wood to sell to those that don't bring it. Kieth, I love the snack sticks that are made, but it turns out to be a lot of work for you. So my...

    JarJar Mini (Jumbo ) Build w/Pics

    Thank you. I am not sure if there is a 60qt available or not, but it just needs to be the same diameter. If I was to do the ball valve thing over. I would only do 1 hole, not the 3 holes I did. I never took the outer 2 off, they were a pain to do so, so I used the bottom vent for more air when...

    Keith and Charlotte I am so sorry for your loss. It sucks having to put down a pet. So no job change yet, but still talks. Time will tell. Ill do as in the past, wait to see what is needed and fill in the gaps for meals. I will still plan on bringing my normal pantry box and other dry goods...

    I've tried everything. White smoke!

    So stupid question. Most vertical smokers that style have a water pan. Is yours full of water? If so, maybe the white smoke you are seeing is steam. I know there are some great suggestions on here and I agree with pretty much all of them, but if you are preheating the cook chamber to anything...

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    If you are going to use pineapple juice, use canned. If you use fresh it has a natural heat activated enzyme that will break the meat down (tenderizer), and over the long cook it will turn the meat mushy. There are some other fruits that have the same reaction, papaya being one. The...

    South Florida Spring Gathering - Apr. 28-30 W/Pics . ("You Missed It" )

    At this time we will not be coming. We have some really crazy family matters to deal with in May that will take me away from home for almost 2 weeks. So we are going to do a "couples" weekend with just wife and me. The thing she wants to do is the same weekend as the Spring Gathering. We...

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    I am guessing you figured it out since it was a few days ago. But if it happens again or to someone else.... I would wrap with some juices and then crank the smoker or oven up to finish it. If it is a real close time line, you could even break the meat down to smaller pieces , wrap and then...

    Pork butt temp stall?

    In my humble opinion there is no need to cook a butt higher than 190°-195°F, then wrap or cover and allow to rest for 30-40 min before pulling. The meat is already at the point where it will pull apart and I like the texture better. I do wrap mine as it is cooking when it hits around the 150° -...

    JarJar Pork Rub Recipe

    I usually cook at a higher temp when I do mine. I try to hold between 250 - 280. Once I hit 165IT ill wrap and finish cooking to 185. The hold in a cooler or wrapped in towels for about an hour. It will carryover cook to about 190-195IT.

    JarJar Pork Rub Recipe

    Happy to see you use the recipe. I still to this day use it. Would be curious to see your chili powder recipe. Good luck. It is definitely a very flexable recipe.
