Super Bowl Butts w-q/view
Mmmmm, butts . . . you guys are making me hungry! -
Goin for it...!
I usually take mine out of the fridge and let them sit in the kitchen for the 20-30 mins or so that it takes for me to get the fire going and the temps where I want them, but I don't think it's critical either way. It's just that much less time for the roasts to warm up (once they're on the... -
Goin for it...!
It usually takes me about 9-11 hours from on the drum to in the cooler for two butts from Costco or Sam's Club. Those butts are usually in the 7-9 lb range each, so I suppose we're talking about something like 1 1/4 hours per pound. Add the hour for resting in the cooler and they might be more... -
Goin for it...!
My two cents would be that there's no real reason you need to cook at as low a temperature as 200*. I typically cook my shoulders at about 275*, which finishes them faster without any real drawbacks that I can see. Everyone please chime in on what I'm saying, especially if you disagree. At a... -
Venison Bacon: question on potential modification
I searched and I PMed MossyMO about it. He said he's thought of it but never tried it (Maple flavoring). Based on a sausage recipe I came across, I went ahead and added 1 cup of grade A maple syrup to half my batch (7.5 lbs). I'll be smoking it later this morning and let everyone know how it...- donnylove

Grinder question
Cabela's Bargain cave has a Weston No. 5 Deluxe grinder (200-watt motor, forward/reverse operation, three plates) for $49.88, regular price $129.99. I've been thinking pretty hard about ordering one, as I too have always just used a hand grinder. I'd be interested to know if anyone else... -
Venison Bacon: question on potential modification
Bump. About to mix. If I don't get a response, I'm going to try half normal and half with some maple syrup mixed in (though I don't know how much!).- donnylove

Venison Bacon: question on potential modification
For those of you out there that have made the ground and formed venison bacon, have you ever augmented the seasoning package with something like maple syrup or brown sugar to add an additional sweet flavor. I'm making another batch (seasoning a couple hours, smoking tomorrow) and I'd like to...- donnylove

Couple more batches- Venison bacon, jerky, and summer sausage
P.S. Love the cowbell! -
Couple more batches- Venison bacon, jerky, and summer sausage
Search for venison bacon under the user name MossyMO (advanced search lets you search for posts by specific members). The way I remember it, he started the venison bacon movement around here and he provided the best information. I use a mix from Curley's Sausuage Kitchen (check'em out online)... -
Couple more batches- Venison bacon, jerky, and summer sausage
Time for me to make some more venison bacon too. I ran myself out around the holidays! -
UDS questions. What would you pay for a pre-built UDS?
You layer chunks of wood throughout the basket of charcoal. The basket burns slowly from the top down, so it takes hours before the charcoal and chunks of would near the bottom burn. Slow, steady, and easy. Don't forget to post pics from your build!- donnylove

first shoulder
Temperature may increase very slightly after you take it off the smoker and put it in the cooler, but not by much. The reasoning for putting your fully-cooked butt in the cooler is to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat (they've all run to the center to get away from the heat)... -
Puerco Pibil!
So is there any chain grocery store that typically carries banana leaves? I have to try this recipe . . . I just ate lunch, but your pictures made me severely hungry all over again. -
When to inject your butt
Sorry I never finished this thread off with Qview. I was cranky Sunday night after that football game. Also, my butts were humming along nicely and up to 185* in the foil when I decided I would take them back out of the foil to let the bark firm up. I won't ever do that again. I did it... -
How low will an MES go?
You should also know that with the MES set at 100, the chamber temperature in the center is around 135-140. At least that's how my unit runs. You can keep things cooler by filling the water tray with ice (that's how I smoke cheese with the MES). As for smoke generation, you could also put a...- donnylove

Butt injection recipes
Seems like Leinie's is going more global all the time. Can you get it in any of the stores where you live? Here in Montana, I can typically get Sunset Wheat, Classic Amber and whatever the seasonal is, though lately they've also been carrying the variety pack. Then there's a bar that has Red on... -

who's everyone rooting for this weekend?
Raiders fan here, but Favre has always been one of my favorites. How can you not enjoy watching the way he plays the game? For that reason and that reason alone, I'm rooting for the Vikes now (don't tell my wife - she's a Packer fan from WI).- donnylove
