    First overnight pork butt

    20 hours Meat 189 Smoker 250 (got warm outside....temp crept up... I didn't touch it... honest) So... 2 stalls... waiting for the "bloom" where it climbs temp quick at the end.... hope it comes soon and glad I didn't start this in the morning hoping it'd be ready for dinner. heheheh

    First overnight pork butt

    I know patience is a virtue and all that, but seriously? I'm closing in on 19 hours and still sittin' at 183. Like it stalled around 170 and now again at 183. After I moved the Maverick's probe around a couple places, I went in and got another meat thermometer, and it agrees with the Maverick...

    First overnight pork butt

    OK, moved the temp probe. Actually checked a couple places. It's at about 185 now. Almost 18 hours in. Keep in mind this ran at under 220 for quite a while over night. When you do them at 300 how long does it take? I mean, do you shorten the cook time enough to just start in the morning and...

    First overnight pork butt

    I wish.... I've been working in my wood shop, building a new easel. Running power equipment. So no adult beverages until all danger of losing the digits that HOLD said beverages has passed. :) I SOOOoooo wanna open the smoker and peek. It's only been opened once. That was about 7 hours ago...

    First overnight pork butt

    16 hours Meat temp sitting at 172 for a little over an hour now. It had got up to 174 and then dropped and stopped :) Smoker temp 232 so that's remained pretty steady. I'm running out of stuff to do in the meantime... ahahahhaa

    First overnight pork butt

    OK, 14 hours in and .... stall... :) Smoker temp is still 230, but the meat temp has DROPPED 3 degrees (to 171) I've lived through stalls before but this is my first one where the meat dropped temp. I know it happens just from reading other posts on here, but it's a first experience for me...

    First overnight pork butt

    Only got up once... and had to pee anyways, so.... not like I was getting up every hour or 2 to check. 9 hours? I'm 13 hours in and meat temp is 174. Smoker temp 235 (It went up some when the sun came up). Maybe if I cooked it at 275 I could push it to 9 hours, but this one is low and slow and...

    First overnight pork butt

    Still in the smoker. Q-View in a bit. This was about a 6 pound butt. Best Odds rub (I like it simple). Never done an overnighter before, but I've gotten fairly used to my Smoke Hollow gasser (after 2 seasons using it) and felt pretty confident. I put the meat in the smoker about 8pm. Hickory and...

    Whole chicken with Qview (of course)

    Whole chicken. Brined 4 hours mostly cause it was thawing too slow. Three days in the fridge and I still had to pry the innards package out. Smoker temp about 380 and smoked with pecan and apple. This was about an 8 pound roaster and took almost exactly 2 hours. Ate what we wanted then I...

    Just ribs - with QView

    I cruise the meat section of the local grocery looking for the "Special Today!" tags. Just means that the "Use or freeze by..." date is really close. Usually 2 or 3 days away. Found some ribs at half price. I was surprised at how meaty they were. Smoked with a mix of equal parts pecan, apple...

    I know this is SMOKING MEAT FORUMS but it is time for a new propane grill.....Any opinions?

    I bought a Ducane Stainless (made by Weber) off Craigslist for $150. It's in near-perfect condition and has those heavy stainless steel rod cooking grates. I would have bought a Weber Genesis or a Broil King had I not found this Ducane for that price. I have a Weber Performer Charcoal one touch...

    Chicken Skin

    Yes, it works with whole chickens, halves, whole leg quarters, drumsticks and thighs. I've done them all at high heat. Well... high for a smoker. Now keep in mind that my wife doesn't like a really strong smoky flavor. So #1 I use apple or pecan and my TBS is running the whole time. It...

    What temp to set smoker for keeping bbq chickens warm?

    victorytea, I know the wrap-in-foil-and-towels-and drop-'em-in-a-cooler may sound a bit chancy if you've not done it before. I took a leap of faith and had 30 pounds of chicken leg quarters that I did for a party. While I've since also done it with whole chickens by double wrapping in foil and...
