    Pulled pork got a little dry

    Oops - forgot to ask this: On the thread you referenced, Jeff says to use about 1/2 the recipe on a 8 - 10 lbs butt.  Did I understand right that you use the entire recipe on a butt that size, with no adverse effects? Also, can it be used on the leftovers?

    Pulled pork got a little dry

    I did put the foil juices back on the pork, and I usually put a water/applejuice mix in the water pan.  I'm sure it didn't get up anywhere near even 300*.  Did you have the same problems after replacing your probes?

    Pulled pork got a little dry

    I went and looked at Jeff's (long) finishing sauce thread.   Shoulda' used it.  Can it still be used on the leftovers?

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    My Masterbuilt vertical smoker's instructions specifically say not to use chunks - only chips.  I see that a lot of guys here are using chunks with these smokers, anyway.  Anyone know why they don't want you to use chunks?  I can't see how it would do any damage.

    Pulled pork got a little dry

    This was my third butt, fourth smoke (first was ribs).  My Maverick ET-732 was giving me fits varied between LLL's and 50-60* readings, which couldn't have been right.  The thermo on the door of the smoker was consistently reading between 200 - 250*.  I know that thermo is off, but can't...

    Pulled pork got a little dry

    Smoked a 10 lbs pork butt for the big game.  Took about 17 hours, but it came out and looked just about perfect.  Pulled easy, and tasted really good.  Put it in a crock pot to keep it warm, and didn't take too long before it started getting dry.  Is this just normal, or should I have sauced it...

    10 lbs Butt and outside temp

    This is AFTER seven of us ate Christmas dinner off of this butt.  It was a big hit.  Went nicely with twice baked potatoes, bread, salad, fruit, and pumpkin pie.  I'm full, and there's plenty of leftovers.  Smoker's cleaned up and put away.  I think it's about time for a Christmas nap. I LOVE...

    10 lbs Butt and outside temp

    Went to bed shortly after last post. Got tired of fluctuations setting off the alarm on the Mav, so I set the range at 215 - 255.  Woke up at 7:30am and temp was 219.  HOpe it wasn't there too long.  Went out and spritzed, and turned up the heat a bit.  Outside temp is 20. Time for coffee...

    10 lbs Butt and outside temp

    Butt went in at 10:45pm.  Outside temp has been consistently 22 degrees.  It's breezy (for Kansas, anyway - some folks might actually call it wind :-)  ),  and I'm seeing some pretty wild fluctuations on the Maverick, but able to get it to stay pretty consistently between 225 - 235.  Put in a...

    10 lbs Butt and outside temp

    Thanks guys.  One other question: Last time I smoked a butt, I didn't mop it with anything.  It wasn't quite as good as I'd hoped, but I think that had more to do with the fact that I was smoking it with some beef back ribs, and ran it on the higher side of 250.  I plan on keeping it down...

    10 lbs Butt and outside temp

    I'm smoking a 10 lbs pork butt for Christmas lunch.  I plan on putting it on around 11pm the night before.  Nightime/morning temp is supposed to be in the lower 20's/upper teens.  I'll be smoking these on my propane Masterbuilt 20050611 smoker.  Is there anything special to keep in mind when...
