    Green Hickory

    Green is bad, but 240 degrees is just fine. I like to smoke at 225.

    Comments on New Braunfels Super Longhorn Deluxe Modification

    Your fire box is fine. First you need to make a charcoal basket and baffle for the smoke inlet. next, you probably need to extend the exhaust down to the grate level. A baffle could be as easy as a couple pieces of steel plate spaced to disipate the hotspot, and several people have used...

    Pulled Pork Question

    I am sold on the butts. The picnic has a higher fat content, and is great when pulled with the butt (the two make up the whold shoulder). At competitions most of the competitors use butts for their turn ins.

    We Lost a Member, I Lost a Friend

    Scott was a great guy, and a truely sincere person. I will miss his posts and his friendship, and although I only knew him through this medium, I already miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

    When to rub?????

    Greetings from Georgia

    I get mine from a guy who lives at the far end of Windy Hill Rd. in Marietta. He usually has pear, apple, pecan, hickory, and the usual oaks. The only problem is that he does the smaller cooking splits, but not chunks. Maybe for a couple of bucks extra, they could make some for you. Oh, he...
