    Pulled Pork Rub?

    Probably not at Walmart, but I really like Bad Byron's Butt Rub.

    looking to buy a propane smoker

    I got the camp chef 24" smoke vault.  I looked hard at the smoke hollow 44" but decided against it.  I wanted something that could fit a whole rack of ribs or a whole packer brisket.  My previous smoker was too narrow.  The Vault and Hollow are approximately the width, so either would work for...

    What to smoke if you don't have a lot of time.

    One of my favorite quick smokes is pork tenderloin.  Also turkey breast.  Both run around 2 hours at 225, but I think it would turn out fine getting them done a bit quicker around 275.

    Dry babybacks

    Not sure if it's the cause of dryness, but the 3-2-1 guideline is usually for spare ribs and 2-2-1 is for baby backs.

    MES MODS and AMNPS: better smoke when MES is OFF

    I have been having better luck lately.  I already had the aquarium pump going but it wasn't enough.  I drilled some extra small (1/4") on the back and 5 or 6 the same size in cluster on the lower right, below where the AMNPS sits.  I got a USB powered variable speed computer type fan that I can...

    Newbie first time smoker with a borrowed Treager

    Brisket is going to be the longest.  Figure at least 2 hours a pound and maybe add a couple of hours if you're looking at a solid deadline.  You can always keep it warm wrapped in foil in a cooler for several hours.  Around 195 internal temp is what you're looking for.  You should search the...

    How Long Is It Safe to Keep Meat?

    I'm a little confused... was it in the fridge for 4 weeks or 3 days?  I would have cooked it had it been refrigerated for 3 days since purchasing.  4 weeks I would have thrown it out.

    Buying a new smoker Bradley vs Masterbuilt

    I can't comment on the Bradley other than the reason I chose the Masterbuilt over it.  $35 of bradley wood pucks from amazon would get me about 20 hours of smoke time.  Wood chips are way more affordable.  Or better yet, get an AMNPS.  Hours of low maintenance smoke.  I haven't done the math...

    Help! Pork cut identfication.

    I received several cuts of pork from a local pig farm here on Oahu.  You pay a flat fee with a bunch of other people and then go pick up a bag with pork in it.  We have been doing this monthly with fresh produce for awhile now, but the pork thing is new.  You don't know what your going to get...

    First Time Brisket Smoker

    I think that you should plan for a longer total cook time, especially if you're working with a deadline and keeping the brisket in one piece.  I think 1.5 hours/lb is more the norm if you're going low and slow.  There are some "hot and fast" brisket methods that there have been a few threads...

    Hight temp smokin a butt?

    I've been experimenting with smoking around 225 until it hits around 160, then foiling and into the oven the rest of the way.  It makes it so I can start a butt in the morning and have it for dinner no problem.
