    Coffee in my brisket dry rub....

    My wife also loves the smell of coffee but hates the taste. She loves the brisket as you cannot taste the coffee.

    Coffee in my brisket dry rub....

    Sorry guys i'm going "postal" today.... Do you guys ever use coffee in any of your beef rubs. I always use it as the MAIN ingredient in my dry rub for brisket and it truly is THE BOMB. When I first heard of this years ago I thought YUK! But it is great and I never use any other rub for beef.

    Maverick thermo says LLL ?????

    Actually free will not be an option.... It helps if you look at the wire to see if it is cut, mine was. I must have shut it in my storage box. Oh well, I guess I will have to invest the $12.95 in a new one.

    BABY BACKS vs. SPARES ?????

    I usually smoke baby backs because my wife thinks spares are too fatty. Do you guys trim your spares before smoking, and what is the process? Also, once they are done, is there an "art" to cutting them? I am interested because I realize you get more bang for your $ from spares. Thanks!

    St. Louis Style in Ohio!!!

    Great job! I have always smoked baby backs but I think most guys on here smoke spares. I realize that they are cheaper but I have found them to be very fatty. Do you guys trim them and what is the cutting process once they are finished?? I think I will post about this. Thanks!

    pulled pork question

    Pretty much what everyone else said w/ foil. But I reheat mine on the smoker for about 45 min- 1hr.and uncover the last 1/2 hour in the smoker sprayed w/ apple juice @225. I like to let the smoke hit it one more time.

    Thickening Q Sauce??

    I tried a new sauce recipe last night and the flavor is great but the sauce is a little thin and I still have to add some brisket juice. Any ideas on thickening the sauce?

    Anyone ever pull pork at 195* ??

    Man your always on it!!! They are foiled and should still be warm in the oven at lunch. So is it ok to pull before the magical # of 200*? I usually do ribs and brisket and have only done butts a handfull of times (at 200*).
