    First Prime Rib- MES 40

    Congrats Andrew, that's a fine looking hunk of Prime Rib.

    The Dreaded Stall.....

    There's more than one camp who believes that "low and slow" is a myth.   Lots of competition cookers and good brisket joints cook their briskets at temps above 300 degrees.

    Do I need fresh ribs for smoking?

    Really depends on your personal tastes.     Some people don't like them, others do.   It's what's available here for a good price so that is what I smoke.

    SMF Hacked??

    Dutch, one of the problems is that you aren't dealing with individuals sitting on the other end of the keyboard per se.   These are dedicated script bots.  I suspect that they are accessing the site through Facebook accts.   They have basically an unlimited number of accts at their disposal and...

    SMF Hacked??

    FWIW, no one is blaming the mods, they are doing the best they can given the situation.  That said, when "doing the best they can given the situation" sometimes has as much effect as trying to close a screen door to prevent the water from coming in.   It's understandable that people will still...

    What temp?

    321 is a general guideline for smoking spareribs at 225ish degrees.  At higher temps, each time segment should be shorter.

    Pulled Pork - Pork Butt 5.25 pounds

    Damon, I think you inadvertently hit on the biggest "trick" to smoking, which is knowing when the meat is done.  Just an FYI, but not all pork butts are "done" at 200 degrees.    Some are done sooner, some are done later.  All depends on a number of variables.

    Father's Day brisket(First Brisket)

    Yeah, based on the slices, it looks a tad bit undercooked.  Didn't miss by much though.  What led you to pull it when you did ?  Time ?  Internal Temp ?     With the rub, you might be able to use less salt and still give it the day and a half, or lose the day and a half and use the salt.  Or...

    Father's Day brisket(First Brisket)

    Nice looking color and heck of a smoke ring.   Was the flat a bit tough ?

    To much liquid?

    Also depends on how hot your chamber temp is.   Down around 225ish, a little bit of moisture turns to steam.   If you have a lot of liquid in the foil and your temps get much higher, you'll end up with boiling liquid that will definitely affect the texture of your meat.

    Pulled Pork - Pork Butt 5.25 pounds

    If it was sitting at 170 for a while, it was probably still in the stall.    Could be any number of reasons for it.  Just wait it out or turn up the cooking temp to help power through.

    Beef ribs - 1st try

    Hahaha, nice job Jon !!!

    Costco beef round tip?

    Yep.  It's a whole Sirloin Tip which comes from the round primal.   As Jbills said, smoke low and slow to mid rare, about 135 degrees and slice thinly for sandwiches.  You can also slice a bit thicker and serve as roast beef like you would get at a carving station. Alternatively, you could...

    Best Prime Rib I'v ever done.

    Yep yep. Paul, talk to the guys behind the butcher counter next time ribeye is on sale and ask them for a smallish 3 bone rib roast (with or without the bone).   Use that for your first cook instead of a whole loin.

    Smoked round roast.

    Yes, it would be "normal" to turn the piece over midway, but even then you can still have some issues.   More below in my response to Danny Oh yeah, I agree.    I have no problems with looking while I'm cooking and I toy with things throughout the cook.   I try to stay away from arguments about...
