Decision crisis - smoker or weber kettle?
Holey SMOKES this was my best TWO ever! I paid an arm and a leg, $3.19 lb, for boneless butts from from upscale grocer, and took home two - 4.75 and 4.78 lbs. I tell ya what, it was worth it! On at 6:30 this morning, snake method, hickory chips and apple chunks. I used 50/50 brown sugar /... -

Awesome, thanks for talking me off the ledge! Can't wait to get it going on Monday! -
Decision crisis - smoker or weber kettle?
I have a slightly modded masterbuilt Brinkmann clone smoker, but I have a lot of trouble maintaining stable temps. I just got a weber kettle, so I was thinking of smoking on that. I've done a few smaller smokes on my old smokey joe silver, so I'm familiar with the compromises of smoking on a... -

Country Style Ribs - QView
Smoked some Country Style "ribs" today. I got lazy and put the rub on with olive oil just a few hours before they went on the smoker, but even so they were still delicious! They spent about 4 hours on the smoker at 250 degrees, and I spritzed them with apple juice / rum every 45 minutes. They... -

Motivate Me!
Alright, so - crisis avoided. Learned a few lessons today... 1) like parenting a newborn, CALM DOWN! 2) The meat probe location matters significantly. 3) I need to learn to better manage temperature and charcoal quantity. 4) Getting up at 4 isn't so bad - the nap after really helped. In the... -

Motivate Me!
Some new developments... after searching a bit, I learned that perhaps I should move the probe and check against a different thermometer. Turns out the meat was closer to 172 when I found the thickest spot. All was going well - really getting some good bark on this one - until I ran out of... -
Motivate Me!
Alright, I'm starting to panic. I'm 3:30 into it and my temp probe is reading 180 degrees already!?!? I put it on around 4:30 this morning. The smoker was holding around 250 so I went to back to bed. I just checked on it a little while ago - smoker was maybe 275 and the water pan was dry! I... -
Motivate Me!
Those videos have been pretty motivating! I've never let it go overnight before, and a new fancy smoker might be in the future if I get addicted to this hobby enough! The weather might be the main motivator above all. We're forecast for rain tomorrow morning with showers in the afternoon... -
Motivate Me!
I'm smoking a 7.5 lb pork butt - bone in - for a party on Saturday. I need the pork pulled and ready to eat by 3:30 or 4pm. Doing the math, this thing needs to go on the smoker by 4 in the morning! Motivate me to get up that early, please! Otherwise I'm considering making it the day... -
Novice in NY
My name is Mike and I love BBQ'n! I have a Master Forge from Lowes that I've started to modify by adding vents and a grate to the charcoal tray. I tend to focus on pulled pork, though I made a brisket once. I'm thinking about getting into ribs next. Thanks for maintaining such an informative...
