    Quick Butt Question

    I am doing a smoke over the weekend and can't decide if I should smoke 2 small (5-6lb) Butts or one big (10lb) butt. Any suggestions (and reasons) would be appreciated! Thanks, John

    Birthday Smoke w/Q-View

    Well it turned out great! I left it in the cooler for as long as I could hold them off, but then of course I couldn't take pics. Sorry about that. Next time I will have to start earlier!

    Looks like I will get 60-90 minutes in the cooler. Better than nothing!

    Birthday Smoke w/Q-View

    160 for the butt and 163 for the brisket. Guests arrive in 1 hour for a dinner that was scheduled to be served in 2 hours. Pizza anyone? I have never had a 4+ hour stall. I thought starting at 5:30 AM would have been plenty of time.

    Birthday Smoke w/Q-View

    No problem! Interested in the Minion method. Is there a sticky on that somewhere? Basically what I do is light the charcoal and pour it in the box add some chunks on top and then add chunks/charcoal throughout the day. If there is a better method, I am interested. John

    Birthday Smoke w/Q-View

    Well thanks, but this isn't my first smoke. I had a bed of coals under the wood and I wanted to go to bed for a little while. Now I toss 2 or 3 on at a time. John

    Unfortunately my second wireless thermometer has decided to malfunction so I only have the probe in the Pork. The brisket is being checked regularly with a thermometer meat fork. They are both in the oven now, wrapped in foil, as we are enjoying our afternoon downpour :( Sombody does not want...

    Brisket and Pork Butt

    I am doing both today. Both are 6.5lbs. Should they both go on the smoker at the same time? Thanks, John

    Quick Salmon Quesion

    I just picked up some wild caught Coho Salmon filets and planned on cooking them in the BBQ/Smoker. I was going to build a charcoal bed and add some wood for a smokey flavor. So what wood? I have Cherry & Hickory. Thanks in advance! John

    Brisket in Fort Collins - with Pics!

    So it turned out pretty good after all. I figure that the smoker was not hot enough. The black was mostly fat which was trimmed off and the meat was tender and juicy. In the future, I will make sure I keep a better temp control. I flipped the grate over in my smoker and now have trouble...

    Brisket in Fort Collins - with Pics!

    So it hit in internal temp of 180 in the oven. It has now moved to the cooler and is resting. We are 10 hours into the adventure. Dinner is in another 2 hours. It really looks black, much more than I have seen before, but that is the fat side. Here is the last pic prior to slicing.
