    Pulled Pork... Best time to foil? and more importantly WHY??

    I looked back in some of my old history books from school, ancient civilizations cooked all thier food on offset smokers and the ones who didn't opted for their propane smokers. This dates back to the early 1700's according to the book. In 1812 they invented the drive-thru and it all went...

    Pulled Pork... Best time to foil? and more importantly WHY??

    We used to walk everywhere but then they invented the automobile! Some things are better with advancements.... Not sayin' that the food wasn't good way back when but there is a reason God put brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, etc on this earth.. To make a rub recipe! Long live...

    Pulled Pork... Best time to foil? and more importantly WHY??

    I feel better about bumping up to 240 or so, I can invest all the time I need to but I was concerned about it taking sooooo long compared to my textbook smokes on the charcoal when I was able to baby sit it... A luxury I don't always get. I will continue to use the propane smoker with the advice...

    Pulled Pork... Best time to foil? and more importantly WHY??

    When using my Charcoal Smoker, The pork turned out great, now that I'm using a propane smoker and able to dial the temp to 225 on the nose, It takes FOREVER to get to temp, My pork this weekend never hit above 170 and I had to serve it like that..... With the charcoal, i would get temp spikes...

    To score or not to score..... That is my question!?

    Do I score the balogna before I smoke it? I plan on smoking the balogna with no rub on it, naked you could say. Will scoring the outside allow more smoke flavor in or not enough to make any marked difference

    How important is it to soak wood prior to smoking? and why?

    Thanks everyone! I will stick with good ole' dry wood chunks, I am always looking for something new or proven to try but it sounds like it's all my preference on the "to soak or not to soak" thing.... Thanks again everyone

    OK, So it's been 15 hours and my brisket is only at 165 degrees??? What gives???

    The culprit I think is maybe the fact that I did not wrap it in foil! I checked the temp with different thermometers and they all read with a degree or two at 225, I am going to try another one with all the ideas I got from this site and hope for the best, it took me a few tries on my pulled...
