    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Well mine was derived from my first attempt at smoking, and of course my fondness of Cheech & Chong movies. Nuff said?

    what to do when you have 35 lbs of meat and a cancelled party?

    When you go to pull it, slice some and freeze and save for chinese stir fry....(smoked pork makes for a great Sczcheuan), also great for some hot pork sammies w/mash potatoes and gravy! Ooooops, sorry about the drool! Hee!

    15 lb shoulder finally done. With Q-view. :)

    That's some purty bark ya got there. Saw a smoking show not too long ago and saw the fella season the pork after it was pulled with the same rub he used in addition to his finishing sauce. I tried that on a handful of pork (so as not to mess up the whole thing) and boy it was good! Just sayin!

    1st post 1st pork should smoke

    If you have string netting on the butt you will probably have a mess on your hands when that bark starts sticking to those strings...I would take it off (the meat will stay together...trust me!) Leave fat side up!

    Heck...I love this smoker! I just by wood chunks and split them to the size of a deck of cards...they fit jest fine! As far as wrong temp reading...ya gotta keep the smoke build up off the thermometer probe, or use a better gauge. I have been using this smoker for several years and plan on...

    If you want to develop a nice bark, you can mist it with apple juice or (I don't give this out to everyone, but I'm feeling generous today...mist with spicy bread & butter pickle juice) about every hour.The sugar will caramelize the crust. Don't get alarmed if you hit a plateau at about 170...

    Begging for Rib HELP

    Aw heck I just work an edge loose with my thumbnail and grasp it with a piece of paper towel to keep it from slipping from my grip. Sometimes it doesn't matter other times it will cause the rack to curl...if you can't get it off, you can at least score it between th rib sections.Just sayin'

    brining question

    No, not just smoking. But brining is brining whether you will BBQ/ grill, bake, fry, it is just a way to enhance the quality of your protein choice. In fact even more so in many cases (we know how forgiving smoking can be to meats) not always so when grilling/frying, or other more extreme...

    brining question

    Yeah…if ya brine em too much, the meat starts to get a bit spongy (mushy), not crazy about that texture! I never go more than 24 on poultry, unless you got a honker of a turkey!
