    Weekend Pork Butts

    So yesterday I stopped at the butcher on the way home from work, they had pork butts in the cryo. on sale for $1.99 a pound, so I picked up 18 lbs. That is for the smoker this evening. Then my grandfather let me know the local C Town supermarket had pork butts, bone in, on sale for $0.59 a...

    Food Deydrator Choices?

    So many years ago I used a small food dehydrator and used to make Jerky. Maybe once or twice I made it. Now I have a WSM and i've made a few batches of Jerky. Comes out TERRIFIC, especially the smokey flavor. BUT it's not that convenient. I have to manage it (which honestly I don't have to do...

    Ruined my Jerky tonight

    So I ruined my jerky tonight. And I had a LOT of jerky I was making. I had 5 racks in my 18.5" WSM and I had to do two cooks. The first one I used WAY too much wood, and that was the big batch with the USDA prime stuff (i tried to splurge at the butcher). WAYYYY too much smoke, most of the...

    Smoking Two Pork Butts This Weekend

    I brought in about 2 lbs of the pulled pork to work today. I kid you not it lasted maybe 2 minutes... once everybody smelled it and a few guys started coming into the kitchen, in a matter of minutes it was all gone. My boss came in about 30 minutes after we had finished it off looking for some...

    Pulled Pork how long before freezing

    Makes sense.. we're not talking hours though just till it cools down a bit. Honestly mine still has a bit of heat left in it, but i'm fine with that. I feel I want it to "sweat" a bit in the bag so some of the moisture stays inside my bag... Also if I have a lot of pulled pork in the fridge...

    Pulled Pork how long before freezing

    I usually let it sit on the counter until its cool. Then I put it in the vacuum bags, vacuum the air out, and throw them in the freezer. I don't add any liquid or anything either. I don't refrigerate overnight before freezing, that'll just make it dryer. Then I throw it in boiling water, add...

    Smoking Two Pork Butts This Weekend

    I started at 7:30pm yesterday, didn't finish pulling both until JUST NOW (or an hour ago for the other)... so keep that in mind... a lot can affect it, the meat, the weather, etc... If you want it for superbowl, do it a week before and freeze it. Yeah both came out good. I used two different...

    Smoking Two Pork Butts This Weekend

    They say between 1 and 1 1/2 hours per pound. I had 2 8 lbers so I shoulda been around 12 hours... so yeah double the time it shoulda taken. My issues were temperature... it snowed/rained last night and my temps kept dropping to about 210-225, so I was low the entire time. I also used water in...

    Smoking Two Pork Butts This Weekend

    This is by far the most tastiest thing I've ever cooked in my life... here is one of the butts after an hour and a half rest (the other one just came off smoker). Total time on smoker was about 22 hours. Next time I'm going to smoke it at a higher temp to help it get through the stall phase. I...

    Smoking Two Pork Butts This Weekend

    So we're 17 1/2 hours in so far... pork temp is at 176... it was 180 but now it's down to 176... i had to add more charcoal.. Think I should just let it keep going or wrap it in foil?
