    Two Butts for the Kids' Birthday

    Well, they came off the smoker just shy of 4:30am. 165 degrees. I put them in a pan with foil in the oven at 225 to finish them off to 195. Funny thing was that I never noticed any stall. These were the first butts where I never saw one. Party is not until 2pm. I honestly thought they would...

    Two Butts for the Kids' Birthday

    Hello all.  I haven't been on for a while and haven't smoked anything in at almost a year!   Life got in the way a little bit, but am looking forward to smoking some tasty goodness all summer.  It is a drizzly, chilly evening here in Denver, but I am determined to not let that spoil our...

    How important is it?

    I agree 100% with what Rivet said. It doesn't have to be a cooler. It will just stay warmer longer. If you are ready to eat. let it sit on the counter. When braising, say a beef roast, you do the same thing; pop it out of the oven and let it sit on the counter for half an hour.

    Live from Denver -- w/Q-View

    Sorry for the late reply. I have the same smoker as you do, and I really enjoy not having to tend a fire if I am not in the mood. I will say that from a culinary perspective, water boils at a lower temperature, which affects mostly candy-making and baking. However, I do know that it takes me...

    How important is it?

    I agree with the above, and I can tell you that I have done it both ways -- several times. whenever I have to skip the rest period because I started too late, the meat is not nearly as moist and tender as when it rests. I will also add, that you never want to squeeze the meat when either...

    I am just about 5 minutes north of downtown. I like living near the city and making my neighbors drool over REAL BBQ. There is VERY LITTLE of it in Denver..

    Live from Denver -- w/Q-View

    Yeah, it was one of the best shoulders I have smoked. It turned out really nice considering I moved it to the oven....Thanks for the kind words. With respect to the weather, I am (and always will be) a Texas boy, and I don't much like the cold!

    Live from Denver -- w/Q-View

    It is a chilly morning here in Denver, CO. I woke up and poured a cup of coffee; The pork shoulder went on the smoker at 9am -- the morning dew is still frozen to the ground. Seven and a half pounds of gristle-filled meat will be falling apart in around 12 hours. The smell of the smoke is...

    The fruits of my all-nighter w/q-view

    So in these parts it is coming up on noon. The pork went on the smoker at 11pm, and is now foiled and in the oven to save propane. Going to bring it up to 200 and then take it over to my folks house for a bbq. http://schoolbobqview.shutterfly.com/
