    Need Help Pulled Pork taste to salty

    Alright.  I am looking for some advice.  I tried a new rub today on some pork butts from Sams Club.  Everything was going smoothly until I pulled the pork.  I tasted the pork and thought it was to salty.  I do have to say I usually use Jeffs rub or a KC style rub so maybe it is just a different...

    Brown sticky stuff left all over the inside of my smoker after smoking??

    I wouldn't worry about it.  Do you run water in your smoker?  How much wood are you using?

    Brown sticky stuff left all over the inside of my smoker after smoking??

    Here I found this in another post on this forum.  I wouldn't worry about it.  I have seen this when using water in my water pan but just ignored it.  I now run it dry and do not see it.  Just keep on smoking.  I read some where that Harry Soo said if you smoker smells good then do not worry...

    No knead bread problem.

    What is the crust like when you take the lid off?  What size of dutch oven are you using?  Are you putting a whole recipe into your dutch oven or splitting it?  Are you preheating your dutch oven and the lid?  There has to be an easy answer to this.  Lets figure it out.

    No knead bread problem.

    I just got into making this recipe recently.  Where in your oven are you placing your dutch oven?  I started out placing my dutch oven toward the bottom of my oven.  Since then I have moved it up.  In my experience the higher in the oven the bread sits the softer the crust gets.  Also when are...

    I have been to Knox a few times.  I also graduated from Red Bank a while back.  Live in the "burgh" now since there aren't many jobs around NB.

    Yeah I have been around but the kids have kept me pretty busy.  Hopefully things slow down a little and I can post a little more.  As usual I enjoy your threads.  Keep it up.

    PA Q Crew gets BIG enough for our own group!

    Pittsburgh here.  I know there are a few more from this area.  If we get enough people bbq around here it might look like the old steel mill days once again.

    will a AMNPS work in a 18.5 wsm?

    I have used both.  If smoking cheese and it is hot out I will use dust because it releases less heat.  If outside temperature isn't an issue then it depends on what type of smoke I want to apply.  I have found that lighting one end of pellets is about equal to lighting both ends of dust.

    will a AMNPS work in a 18.5 wsm?

    Yeah it will work for cold smoking.  I have the 22.5 WSM and use the AMNPS in it for cheese all the time.  I usually keep the water pan in place.  I tried once to put the amnps in the water pan (no water or ice) and the cheese on the top rack.  The temps were a little to high for me.  I now keep...

    More WSM Ribs

    Looking good.  A little off topic but how do those frogmatz help with clean up?  I was thinking of buying some off of Todd for my 22.5 but wasn't sure if they would keep the grates underneath clean or not.

    My second Brisket, and I need help!

    Here are several tips that I have picked up from this site and a few others.  Once the brisket hits 175 in the flat start checking it every hour or 5 degrees.  What I mean is poke it with your probe or a toothpick.  What you are looking for is something that feels like warm butter.  When you...
