    help with chicken thigh diagnosis

    I'm back.  Really glad I came here for some advice, the chicken turned out great!  The flavor was great, I could taste the chipotle pepper in the rub but neither the brine or rub were overpowering, I could taste the meat and the smoke flavor.  Could have pulled them off a tad earlier, but was...

    help with chicken thigh diagnosis

    Thanks, yeah I did rinse them off (I thought pretty well, but maybe I'll give that a little more attention this time too.  I do want the smokey flavor, and I definitely did taste that last night, but I'll keep that in mind.  I think we'll have some time constraints today too, but I should be...

    help with chicken thigh diagnosis

    Thanks everyone!   I saw some people saying brine 8-10 hours and then other said with just thighs that's way too long, and only do 4 hours, so I thought I had gone on the low end... I was definitely skeptical of all that soy sauce though.  The reason I don't think it's the rub is because I've...

    help with chicken thigh diagnosis

    This was my first time doing chicken thighs.  Have had a little experience getting used to my WSM with some sparerib and pork butt cooks though, and those have mostly gone well (or I was at least able to identify the reasons when they didn't :)   )  I'm not quite sure about this one though, so...

    First pork butt smoke, boneless but not tied- problem?

    Thanks for the link.  I did do some searching on this and other forums (even long before I had my WSM), and was following a similar guide to that one as I did this smoke.  Still, people do some things different ways, so there are some things that are unanswered.  Plus I think it's always good to...

    First pork butt smoke, boneless but not tied- problem?

    One more question-  if i'm pulling them off at 200-205 and not foiling them, do I still need to let them sit for 30 min, or should we just start pulling it?

    First pork butt smoke, boneless but not tied- problem?

    Thanks for the help guys.  Yup, that was the first time I took the lid off, since it was around 12 hours I wanted to check if the thermapen and mav were reading the same...glad I did.  Also had to open the door around 7 hours to move the coals a little and dislodge some dust.  Temp was dropping...

    First pork butt smoke, boneless but not tied- problem?

    Creeping up on 12 hours now, and the Maverick  food probe is reading 189, but thermapen reads about 177...  Thermapen has been boiling water tested so I guess that's accurate, but I thought I should be closer to 189 after 12 hours (butts are about 8.5 lbs each).  Does 177 at this point sound...

    First pork butt smoke, boneless but not tied- problem?

    Thanks for the tips.  Here's the thread where I originally talked about my issues with the maverick, what I tried etc.  I didn't do a boiling water test because I read you weren't supposed to submerge it in water, but basically it just seems a little erratic.  Sometimes it is spot on and then at...

    First pork butt smoke, boneless but not tied- problem?

    wow, I didn't know that about the injection that is good to know, thanks.  I have both a maverick 732 and a thermapen so I should be good there.  The mav has been a bit of a pain, I've found it a little buggy (talked about that in another thread), but the cooker temp seems accurate, so hopefully...

    First pork butt smoke, boneless but not tied- problem?

    Thanks Al!  Just updated, I'm near the Seattle, WA area (and the rain just started pouring!).  It's a little late for the twine now, but good to know I don't need to flip them. I had read that you needed the foil for the last part of the cook to let the temp rise a little more and further break...

    First pork butt smoke, boneless but not tied- problem?

    Hey all I've had my 22.5 WSM for almost a month now, and this is my third smoke; first time trying pork butt.  I'm trying the Chris Lilly injection recipe. One thing I'm a little worried about is that these are boneless butts, and I don't have any kitchen twine.  I had only read the process...
