    I know this has been asked 1000 times

    Isnt this board great?  Such good info!  I will add my $.02...though i have never done such a large scale smoke.  Watching temps after the cook and during the reheating/serving process is important.  Its going to take some time pulling all those butts so you dont want to let them rest too...

    How long will finishing sauce keep

    So, i made a batch of SoFlaQuer's sauce the last butt i did...but that was July 4 weekend!  Im doing a couple this week and will need to do another batch probably, but i still have a little from the july 4 weekend.  Its been in the fridge since then.  Will it still be good?  Im guessing yes...

    favorite types of wood

    I mainly smoke pork and on ribs i use all cherry usually...butts i use a mixture of cherry and hickory, and sometimes i have some oak i will throw in for fun.  The hickory and cherry mixture is really good on the butts...maybe a 2-1 cherry to hickory ratio.  I found some apple splits in a...

    Dove season!

    Our early goose season comes in with the dove opener on 9/1 as well...im a 'fowler so we've been tearing up the geese the last 2 mornings.  But this morning we hunted a silage field that was cut late last week and we could have had our limit of doves too...but not with the pricey steel shot.  I...

    NEW Pulled Pork Method* 2-2-1 type approach

    Tell you what, i have done my last couple butts with no foil at all...you lose no tenderness or moisture from my experience.  MAYBE a touch drier on the meat closest to the outside but with a finishing sauce not noticable.  Bark is great.  maybe i will give this a try.  I just gave up on foil...

    How to remove liner

    Quote: Agree...i tried it with the white dust mask...not fun.  You probably really need a respirator.  Since your head is in the stinking barrel while grinding away.  Not fun

    How to remove liner

    I had one with the orange liner and i couldnt get it out.  i burnt it out HOT...burnt ALL paint off the outside first time.  Liner was unscathed.  Went at it with grinder and wire wheel...knocked some off...burnt it again.  Then washed it and the liner was still largely intact...i gave up and...

    I need some quick dinner smoke suggestions for tonight!

    Well, just thought i would give a quick update.  Didnt end up smoking too much, but did at least fire her up and did a fatty and a couple ABT's.  The sweet corn looked especially good when i walked into the store, so i had to grab some, and at $2/doz i couldnt pass it up.  As good as it looked...

    Frog Legs

    Quote: Well...the water naturally.  You go out wading around in/around a pond/lake/river/swamp, what have you, with a light on your head, a gig in your hand, and some kind of frog containment device (FCD) somewhere on your person.  Find said frog (the big bullfrogs yield the most meat) shine...

    Ribs overcooked. What went wrong? Q view

    You will get a lot of responses on this...my question is did you foil them at all?  A popular method is either the 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 method.  With the middle number being the number of hours in foil.  This makes the ribs tender and also keeps them out of the smoke for a period of time, which is...
