Labor Day Smoke
I had planned to smoke 5 racks of BBs, each prepped differently to fine tune my comp turn-ins. However, when my friends, family, and neighbors found out I was smoking, they asked me to smoke a few butts. These few butts turned into 12 boneless butts!!! So much for experimenting with ribs... -
Nothin' BUTT a pork thang
I don't use mustard, but if you wanted you could prepare one with mustard and one without to compare. Probably need input from ChiBill here...;) I marinate my butts in italian dressing spiced up with warchestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Just before the cook, I remove, pat... -

Bob, That is what sold me on foiling. You have also described the best way to perfect your craft! Each time you cook, try something different at the same time. This way you have an objective way to compare differences. As far as thermometers, I have the NuTemp remotes, and they work great... -

Dan, Let me know when you get back in town, and we'll go grab a beer. I am a member of the Powder Springs American Legion post, so at least it'll be cheap. ;) CS, I was born in Red Stick, and lived in New Orleans until the early 80's, when things got rough down there. Spent the rest of that... -

New Smoker
Use charcoal with hickory chunks as this will give you predictable and reliable heat. Only use the inlets for the firebox to control temp. Leave the stack wide@$$ open! Again, try to regulate at 225 degrees... -
New Smoker
I foil, as it has yielded better results in my travels. As far as where to put the butts, use the biscuit test to find a warm spot, but avoiding the hotter and cooler spots. Also, take an oven thermometer and insert it through a potato with the tip well exposed to insure that the temp at the... -

You can make a baffle by using heavy duty foil, but since you are only cooking one butt, just keep it away from the hot spot. To determine the temp variation in your cooker, just buy a couple of tins of Grands biscuits and spread them aroung the cook chamber. If you put some bacon on top of... -

Where in Marietta are you? We will be cooking at least 10 butts and a large batch of beans on Friday night. We are always looking for someone to keep us company, but beware that we are poor and come from Louisiana. Admission is a small bottle of Jim Beam... Please don't judge! :) -

I'm up here in Marietta, and welcome to the group! Since you have some experience, we would really like to know some of your secrets... ;) -

Best paint for side smoker box
I use Rustoleum on the cooler parts, and Crisco on the fire box. Here is a pic a couple of weeks ago, and you can see the difference in the finish:- nmayeux

Brands of charcoal
Briquettes. Contrary to the purists, I really like the consistancy and predictable qualities of bricks. However, in my BSKD, I like the flavor and heat added by the lump/brick/hickory combo (trial and error). But I am still learning, and by no means even close to being a professional!- nmayeux

Brands of charcoal
Mr. Minion of the "Minion Method" fame uses Royal Oak if my memory serves me right. I have taken to using a mix of Royal Oak and the Cowboy lump with pretty good results. I still use Kingsford for my kettle, and it works great once you get a handle on how quick it comes to temp. Just...- nmayeux
