    I have seen folks trim the fat away and then put the rub on. Myself I leave the fat on. My thoughts on this. When you cook a ham in the oven you score it and put cloves in and baste, I use Vernor's ginger ale. The flavor goes to the meat. I also...

    Hit a Gold Mine or Should I Say Wild Cherry Mine

    Be careful on the oil from your blade. I think when it air dries for 6 months or so it will dissapate. I can smell the oil on my wood that I cut for the fireplace when I stack it.. Just my 2 cents. Ron

    Help please!

    Good luck on your smoke and welcome to the forum. Like the guys said pay attention to your heat, do some sort of brine or semi dry rub overnight and I usually never go over 150 degrees. I also take mine out when it is still just slightly red in the middle. In my opinion this keeps it juicy...

    The beginnings of greatness

    Now that the electric fridge is done. You and Zeeker have me on a mission to find some tanks and build me one of those babies. My neighbor did one out of a 300 gal propane tank that does one heck of a job, just too big for the everyday user.. Looks great!!! Ron
