    Thawed out a boston butt, have a question

    Holy Crap, I was up at 10pm last night contemplating this same thing.  Common sense kicked in and put it back in the fridge after I rubbed it down.  Good thing, preggo wife wouldn't have been happy being sick :)  Sucks man, hope it wasn't too expensive.  Did you happen to check the internal temp...

    Electronic Smoker Advice/Questions

    I too looked at smokers for a LONG time.  After reading about the Electric smoker MES40, it just made sense to me.  Plug it in, set it and forget it....to a sense.  Alot of people that have the MES40 end up getting the AMNPS from Todd and almost all of them get the Maverick remote thermo too. ...

    Chipotle ABT's with lil smokies and ABT's with habenero cheese and lil smokies

    Just from the reading that I did, I smoked them at 225* for 2 1/2 hours about.  Its all on how done you want the bacon really.  I did these just a smaller batch the day prior for about 1 1/2 hours and wifey didn't like the bacon.  She loved these at this length, bacon was crispy.

    Chipotle ABT's with lil smokies and ABT's with habenero cheese and lil smokies

    They were great.  I loved the chipotle ones, had a good amount of kick.  Wife loved the habenero ones, they weren't over powering and not as much kick as the chipotle.  Guess I'll have to do them again to get a winner :)

    Easter ham, I don't do SIMPLE, with a QVIEW

    It tasted fantastic.  There were a lot of flavors flowin around in the mouth.  Smoke was great.  I wish I could have found an unsmoked ham but I couldn't.  I'm gonna post pics of the ABT's in the proper section shortly.  They were fantastic too.

    Beef Ribs, newbie.

    My first smoke was going to be an easy cooked/cured ham, well my Saturday free'd up and had the wife pick up some beef ribs.  I've been researching the best ways to do these and will stick with the 3-2-1 method.  My question is whether to soak or just rub or both.  Also I read bad reviews on the...

    New Guy, been lurking a little.

    Thanks for the welcomes guys.  First smoke will be on Easter...... I've been watching Jeff's video's and reading all the spiral cut ham threads just to get an insight.  Seems pretty easy with the precooked hams.  Mustard coating prior to dry rub sounds different.  I wouldn't think Mustard would...
