    2 butts - Q-View

    Almost forgot... The bark on these was just nothing short of awesome. They pulled great, tasted great. I took 8 pounds to my niece's work. She works at a car dealer where I just got a 2010 Santa Fe. I promised them some food because they basically made nothing on the car deal to Ashley's...

    Pulled Pork in middle of moving w/ QView

    I just pulled 2 butts about the same weight. Smoker temp about 270 -275 and they were done in 7 hours. Haven't pulled them yet but will be doing so in about 10 minutes. No foil this time. The bark is awesome. Wrapped in foil when I took them out of the smoker to rest them for about an hour...

    2 butts - Q-View

    Just pulled these from the smoker. Butts are odd creatures. The last one I did took almost 20 hours before I finally pulled it. These 2 took only about 7 AND both got done at the same time even though they were on different racks in the smoker. Go figure... Resting in foil for an hour or...

    Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

    I have the smoker, a weber performer charcoal grill, and a gas grill. Right now, the weber needs a new cooking grate, but otherwise I use them all. My wife loves having a wife! :) I'm retired and she has about 2 and a half years to go.She wants to add on to our patio to give me a "kitchen". I...

    Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

    I appreciate the thought, JJ. It's rare for me to smoke a meal twice in one week let alone 2 days in a row. And I've gone a week or more without smokin' anything. I must be balancing this OK though. My son told me he wants to skip the going out to dinner part of his birthday. "I just want...

    Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

    hehehehe.... did an all night pork shoulder and then did this chicken for tonight's dinner. This was a pretty big roaster. Around 7 pounds. Smoker temp 350 for just over 2 hours. Skin didn't crisp as much as I'd have liked, but it wasn't rubbery either. I just like it to crunch :) So if I...

    JAPB - Just Another Pork Butt :) - UPDATED with Q-view

    Yeah this one was nice. :) 'Course it was kinda early for dinner so it's all pulled and in the fridge. Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy and windy. So I'm getting ready to put a chicken in the smoker for dinner tonight. We'll have the pulled pork tomorrow and some of the leftovers from the pulled...

    JAPB - Just Another Pork Butt :) - UPDATED with Q-view

    Went out and stuck the meat probe in at around 7:30. I honestly expected it would have to go another 3 or 4 hours. Meat probe said 199. So I came in the house and got a cooler ready and laid out foil to double wrap. Went back out, moved the meat probe just to check another spot, and it said 205...

    Awake at 4:30. Smoker temp at 230. I think I'll make some coffee.  Oh, and the outdoor temp is 42. No wind. So the smoker temp didn't change much with the outdoor temp droppin'.

    JAPB - Just Another Pork Butt :) - UPDATED with Q-view

    10pm. I opened it to add some apple chips and I'm waiting for it to recover. Smoker temp dropped to about 200. OK, now 10:30 it's up to 220. I think I'm ok. Going to bed. See y'all bright and early! :)

    Why do my ribs suck!

    +1 for the Maverick 732. I bought one and found my door temp gauge was off by 50 degrees. Smoke hollow sent me another one, but I never trusted it again. I might pick up a second 732. I find I often have more than one thing in the smoker and sometimes they get done at different times depending...

    JAPB - Just Another Pork Butt :) - UPDATED with Q-view

    In at 8pm. Smoker temp holding 230 pretty well. I'll probably tweak it a couple times before I end up going to bed as the outdoor temp drops, meat starts to heat or whatever. Not even sticking a meat temp probe in it until morning. I'll be up around 5:30 when the wife gets up to get ready for...
