    Pork Sirloin Tip Roast?

    Chef Willie, I've latched onto a Char Siu marinade that I found at a World Market store.  I use it on country style pork ribs with great results.  I don't know if you have one of those stores in your vicinity but worth trying if you do.

    Pork Sirloin Tip Roast?

    This roasts are almost void of any fat as stated and are rather dry.  They might benefit from an injection as well.  I wasn't crazy about them and haven't bought them again after the first couple of experiments with them.

    Out of time, out of luck pork?

    Bought a $.99/lbs pork roast that won't cooperate even at 205.  I'm somewhat out of time and wondered if I could make it a chop versus pulled.  Looks like I got what I paid for.

    Pork Butt Timing Question

    You would be amazed at how much time 25 - 30 degrees can save or add.  There isn't any piece of meat I've ever cooked that didn't turnout great at 250.

    Timing smoke ribs or shoulder first?

    What he said.  Once you have wrapped, there is no magic in what heat source they finish in.

    Installing an Auber controller

    Thanks for the link.  I knew what the units did but was never real clear how they did it.  The video helped me see the whole picture sort a speak.  For what it's worth, I wouldn't have taken it all apart.

    Wet vs Dry, for Salmon. Fresh vs frozen

    I've had bad experience with table salt as listed in Bear's ingredients and only use kosher or sea salt now.

    Fine tuning my methods

    I think knowing your equipment is the secret.  After scratching my head for some time over posted smoke times at specific temps, I borrowed a friends Maverick and found out that my smoker was smoking at 250 when the door gauge said 225.  So, if you have experience with your smoker taking that...

    Fine tuning my methods

    I will be surprised if they take that long or longer.  I smoke the Costco 8 lbs butts on a regular basis and they don't take near that long.  But (no pun intended) I wrap mine after the smoke phase.  That might make a big difference.

    Fine tuning my methods

    Bill, I'm a little concerned with your times.  What are the size of your actual pieces of meat since you have listed a few different hypothetical sizes?

    How much rub to apply to spare ribs, Please and Thank You!

    I apply my rubs in multiple layers using different rubs but at the end of it, one can still see the meat through the rub.  I'm a fan of tasting the meat and think that folks can post smoke season their own to varying degrees using sauces.  I always serve my sauces as a side so that the ratio can...

    Wet vs Dry, for Salmon. Fresh vs frozen

    I think a lot of the notion of smoked salmon really lies in whether one is truly trying to smoke salmon that will last for days as a preserved piece of meat or smoke/cook that produced an outstanding tasting piece of fish but doesn't have the lasting power for preservation.  When I smoke salmon...

    My Next Smoking Adventure

    Seeing as how I smoked some pastrami this weekend, I have a question about NY deli pastrami.  How thinly sliced is pastrami that is served in the delis?
