    Need pork rub recipe ASAP.

    Success! First of all thanks to Meowye! Your rub was excellent! I smoked the butt for 10 hours. There was a lot of lid off time due to smoke issues so it went for a little longer. I followed the sticky for pulled pork to the T and everything cam out great. Smoked till 160 and then wrapped and...

    Need pork rub recipe ASAP.

    Yep soaked and did the foil thing. The problem is that the element melts the foil and then you have a fire. I ended up using a little metal pan and it is working fine. It fits between the element so there is no direct contact. The butt is coming along nicely at this point 156 degrees and...

    Need pork rub recipe ASAP.

    Well Meowey, I ended up using your rub. I looked in the cabinet and we already had the stuff to make your rub. I am counting on you here. The butt had been on since 10am and the only problem i have had is making smoke. I know that sounds dumb. I have the butt in my elec gourmet brinkman and my...

    Need pork rub recipe ASAP.

    First of all thanks for everyones input. I did search and did google, but I thought why look through recipes and wonder when I can ask the pros and get some good solid feedback. I fully plan on trying Jeff's rub if this pulled pork comes out ok, but for now I wanted a quick good rub to use...

    Need pork rub recipe ASAP.

    Hey, Well, my wife said that she would be interested in eating some pulled pork. She usually does not like pulled pork so I am going to jump on this opportunity while I can. I need a good pork rub recipe that I can put together with a quick trip to the grocery. I plan on doing the shopping...

    "Downed" Cows & Food Safety

    My question is "are you surprised?". Look at the way humans treat humans. Does it surprise you to see humans treating animals this way knowing what we do to each other? Bottom line is that the slaughtering of animals is a messy business. Most folks just want to pretend that the prepackaged...

    So, who does the dishes?

    I do all the prep work, smoking and the dishes too. It's ok with me, The smoker has been my little project. She does all the other cooking anyway. Hell, I'm not even allowed to load the dishwasher... seems I don't do it the "right" way. Now if i can just figure out how to get those grates clean...

    First charcoal smoke disaster. Q-View

    Yep used the turkey bacon and I gotta say that I like it much better. Regular bacon didn't render down enough for me and still seemed real fatty. I'm sureI could precook the bacon first, but this was easier and less fat too.

    First charcoal smoke disaster. Q-View

    Should I have a full pan of charcoal? It sure seems like I used a lot of fuel. Should it be a single layer and then just add when needed?

    First charcoal smoke disaster. Q-View

    Yea she got really hot really quick. I didn't even have time to get an actual high temp reading. My Poller went from 250 to 350 (where I wanted to be) and then to 400 in a heart beat. After that it was just "HI" on the readout. The probe was blown. I pulled the lid off ad the unit was still...

    First charcoal smoke disaster. Q-View

    Thanks, Made it out of a cheap 99 cent rack from Wally World. 5 mins with a pair of side cutters and pliers and that's what I came up with. I just cut out every other rung and cut the sides to make some legs. Here's how it started out. I make jerky on these too.

    First charcoal smoke disaster. Q-View

    It went bad... really bad. The fire that is not the food. The food was excellent, but only because I pulled it out of hell and away from the fire god. So I swapped pans and proceeded to load it full of lump charcoal. Well not full. I did place my metal seperater in the middle in an attempt to...

    ECB elec to charcoal mod.

    So I guess I can post here in the charcoal section now. I was talking about converting my elec ECB to charcoal and I did it. I went to the local Lowes and did some recon on the ECB smokers. The only difference between the elec and the charcoal ones is the pan itself. One holds and element and...

    First smoke Q-View

    Thanks for the complements and for the fatty recipes. Funny you mention a lower fat fatty. My wife's first comment was "I like it... it's really good, but I can't eat that on principal." I understand. There's just something about eating 2lbs of sausage stuffed with cheese. I'll have to give...
