I did 2 pork butts last weekend and the flavor...- wmarkw

Is this Barrel safe?
Finally found 2 barrels. The guy told me they are food grade safe drums with the lid attached. They had a food grade sanitizer in them. He said it was basically rubbing alcohold and would get burned up on your first time under fire. Now, the lids are attached so I would have to cut them...- wmarkw

Pork Butt on my new cooker
Picked up a char-broil double chef water smoker last week. Got it seasoned up on Satuday and broke it in w/ a 7lb pork butt and some ABTs on Sunday. I love my smoke vault but I had a blast cooking w/ live fire. I've done a few webber kettle smokes but this was my true initiation. Used the minion... -

Walmart Packers
How are the quality of these packers? Priced at $1.86/lb it's a tough price to beat. My local Sams has flats anywhere from $3.49 to $2.99 a LB. The Sams butcher said that the Walmart brisket is select vs the choice of Sams? Regardless, brisket prices can be crazy and I wouldn't mind going... -

Chucky Soft Burrito
Here is what I primarily do w/ my chucks. Not re-inventing the wheel here but its a good quick meal. To even out the heat I spread a nice layer of light sour cream on the tortilla. I do a little dusting of garlic powder but you can add whatever spices you want. Carmelize 1 onion, 1 jalapeno and... -

Bacon wrapped spatchcock chicken
Did my first spatchcock bird and wrapped it up w/ some bacon. I think I will be doing this method from now on, very easy, not as messy and it turned out perfect. Smoked for about 4 hours at 250 deg w/ pecan wood and some lump thrown in. Served it up w/ some wild rice. -

Spares, ABTs, and a Chuck
Hey everyone. Here are the results of my smoke today. Did a rack of spares, ABTs and decided to throw a chuck on there. Spares came out tender and juicy, a little pull from the bone and melted like butter. ABTs were a bit hot and pissed the wife off but come on, they're supposed to be a bit... -

Some Bird, beef ribs & a chuck
Should be in the beef forum maybe but the chicken was the main course. Smoked with a sweet mix of wood (sugar maple, peach, cherry & apple) and it all turned out great. I put the chicken in an apple sauce bath for a couple of hours and then used s&p & garlic for the beef ribs & chuck. Served w/... -

Brisket on the Weber Kettle
My main smoke toy is the camp chef 24 smoke vault but it is out of work due to an issue with the burner. I had my Clark Grizzwald moment last weekend while smoking. A fierce rain storm came in and I thought I was ok until the gutter over flowed and niagara falls came gushing down right into the...
