    How much meat do I need?

    I am planning on making some pulled pork for a birthday party. We will have about 18 people there. Does anyone know how much meat I will need for that many people? I have never made this before so it should be interesting to see how it turns out! Also, I am planning on using Jeff's Naked...

    Getting under my skin

    Okay, I have ready on too many posts that you can put rubs and whatnot under the skin. HOW DO YOU GET UNDER THE SKIN. I smoked a chicken the other day but just wasn't sure how to do it without breaking the skin.

    Temp Help

    OK, this is probably a terrible question but I am too new and inexperienced to know the answer. I have read how to keep constant high heat with the minion method. Now how do you measure that heat? I smoked my first chicken last weekend and tried using a meat thermometer to measure the...

    New Smoker

    I purchased a Char-broil H2o smoker at a garage sale a while back. It came with an instruction booklet on how to put it together but not how to use it. When I went online to look for instructions, I looked at the booklet I had to find the model. It says it is a H2O Demo. Does anyone know...

    Hey everyone. I am brand new to smoking. I tried some smoked meat about two years ago made by my wifes grandfather. I went out and bought a used smoker at a yard sale for $20 but I never actually tried to smoke anything until just this weekend. Yesterday was my first attempt at smoking...
