    Tboned by tboner

    That's what I'd do. I'd build a HOT fire on about 1/3~1/2 of the grill, sear them hard, then move them over to the no coals area and put the lid on, finishing indirect. 2 inches (IMHO) is too thick to leave over the HOT coals for long.

    whats the difference between charcoal and wood smokers?

    Yup, give the neighbors some samples, and try to position your smoker so the smoke doesn't go right through their window. Some folks just like to complain though. Had an apartment before I left NJ. Used to have one of those little round grills with no lid. Had one neighbor who would hang her...

    Texture

    Usually 1hr 45min, on up to 2hr 30 min. I don't keep logs. They taste great, I just don't care for the texture, and the family doesn't like the looks (kind of wrinkled) too much. I always cut them lengthwise, and usually fill them with chilli, onions, and top with taco cheese. No Bacon.

    10 pound butt

    There are a bunch of helpful links on he left side of every page. One of them is for a time/temperature table. For pulled Pork, I smoke between 225* to 240*. A very rough time frame is 1.5 hrs per pound. I wrap the pork in foil at 160* internal, and let the temp go up to 205* internal. Then I...

    Texture

    I don't wrap my ABT'S in Bacon (yeah blasphamy, I know) The texture is always slightly mushy, and they don't look appealing either. I smoke them around 235* Next batch I'm going to try higher temps. Just wondering if anyone smokes them at 300 or so, and how they are?

    Buying Smoker Wood Online

    I don't know of them. However, if you have one of these stores near you, you can get wood CHUNKS/CHIPS at regular price delivered to the store for free. You have to go pick it up. Unless you're talking logs, then I'm no help at all. http://doitbest.com/Main.aspx?Pageid...294964041&Ne=2

    Jalapenos

    After you've seeded and de-veined them, soak the Jalapenos over night in whole milk. Milk works great too if some juice gets into a cut on your hand.

    Funcook BBQ competition

    No, but do you know of any competitions (no matter how small) from St. Pete on down to say, Port Charlotte? I'd like to go to one. Maybe even cook some ribs, if it's a small enough affair.

    no-smoke chicken in the ecb

    I've been mixing things up. Last weekend I smoked chuckies. Yesterday I grilled steaks. Today I have a big ol' chicken spinning around on the spit. Next weekend, most likely I'll smoke a butt one day, and grill burgers the other.

    Turkey smoke wood

    While Pecan is not overpowering for beef and pork, at times it seems just a bit too strong for poultry IMHO. I've never had Alder. Given the choice between the 2, I would go Alder, just because I've never had it. Doing Chicken on the Rotiss today, and I will be using a small amount of Apple.

    New to Smoking - ECB vs ECB w/ Propane

    If you're going to go the ECB route, you want to modify it. For the Gourmet specifically: http://brinkmansmokermods.com/default.aspx For most other Brinkman bullets: http://www.randyq.addr.com/ecb/ecbmods.html After I bought my Gourmet, I picked up a Weber Kettle cheap off Craigslist. I...

    no-smoke chicken in the ecb

    Well, at least if dad and kids loved it, you know it wasn't something you did. Hope you find a happy medium.

    New to Smoking - ECB vs ECB w/ Propane

    If you're buying a used propane unit, make sure you know what to look for as far as the burner being worn or shot. Make sure the seller has a tank of propane connected to it so that you can sniff around for leaking connectors, and light it up to see if the regulator is doing its' job. I just...
