    Swine-apple

    That picture has been seen by probably millions of facebook users and been everywhere else on the web. I did this recipe and it was so so, leaning toward bad. I wouldn't bother making too big of a deal out of it. He posted the picture and the recipe so I don't think he is planning on selling it...

    Thinking about a WSM 18.5in...would love feedback

    I only use a half dozen briquettes in my chimney so no waste of fuel. I do see guys using a whole chimney all the time on here. I also never use it right side up but always upside down. This applies to the kettle as well as the wsm and the drum.

    Pork Butt wood chunk substitute

    There are other members from your neck of the woods that might be able to help you get local wood, and for what local woods are good for smoking. I would think any fruit bearing tree or bush might be worth a try. Coffee wood is good for sure.

    Going to try my first butt tomorrow :)

    I have had naked butts just as moist as foiled butts. I don't think there is much difference as long as you use the drippings. I have done extensive testing. lol

    Confusing Wood Question

    creosote is what they coat telephone poles with. It is black and sticky and stinky.

    Should I wrap my chips in foil?

    Can you get chunks? they don't flare up like chips do. If you have to use chips I would make foil pouches for them with a few holes poked in for air. Chips kind of suck for smokers like that.

    Well, I don't know about that but it seems like that is geared toward ham and not pulled pork. Butt's have plenty of moisture on their own and you do not need to try and create more with salt. All that connective tissue and fat in there melts down to make that moisture. That is why you want to...

    Confusing Wood Question

    creosote does not season your smoker or create the bark on your butt. If it does you have some bad tasting food. If you have creosote you are doing something wrong.

    HELP HELP HELP with baby backs

    I would suggest you get a good rub recipe like Jeff's Rub. Jeff is the owner of this website and sells his rub and sauce recipe to pay for this wonderful recource that is so great. I have it and am hooked. It is really good. The sauce is not bad either.

    Confusing Wood Question

    Thin Blue Smoke. No matter what smoker you are using that is what you want to achieve. Nice smelling TBS. I use the minion method in all my smokers and never had creosote tasting meat.

    Pork Butt wood chunk substitute

    I notice you have no location in your profile. Location helps us to help you. I have maple trees all around my property and there is a never ending supply of dry maple branches. Look around your neighborhood. I cut them up into chunks with my skil saw when I don't have anything else. Lowes, HD...

    Going to try my first butt tomorrow :)

    9 pounds, took 22 hours and then a 2 hour rest. 5 pounder, took 17 hours. another 5 pounder that took 7 hours. so just goes to show you can't plan perfect timing in any Butt. You just never know.

    Going to try my first butt tomorrow :)

    17 hours could be pushing it. I would plan for 18. If you dry salted it and are going to add a high salt commercial rub you will end up with a salty product. I would not have dry brined with salt myself, I don't know what the benefit of that would be except to pull moisture out of a perfectly...

    HELP HELP HELP with baby backs

    You can soak them in water overnight and change the water out a few times. You probably have already made salt pork so this is the only way to get the salinity down. Get a good rub recipe from Jeff or search the site, there are hundreds. That is a lot of salt in your mixture. Like way too much.

    Can this be done?

    You would need a ball valve to adjust airflow in the bottom and yes a basket with an ash catcher would be much much better.

    Going to try my first butt tomorrow :)

    What rub are you using? I use jeff's rub and it has brown sugar in it. I smoke with apple and smoke the whole time. I figure 2 hours per pound with a 2 hour rest. Rarely have if ever have I had one take less than 2 hours per pound. Save the juices that drip into your drip pan to add back in and...

    ABT ?

    If you want crisp bacon par cooking it first in the microwave a little will get you there. Use very thin bacon and you can even roll it out with a rolling pin to make it thinner. I'm a just right bacon fan not crispy myself.

    Ashes...

    I cut the bottom off an old propane tank. Works like a charm. I also have an eye bolt and a hook to lift it out with.
