If there's extra room just pack a few towels around it. Mine were foiled, I pulled them out of the smoker and wrapped with another 2 layers of foil, then wrapped in 1 towel with other towels towels taking up the empty space.
I noticed going from fridge to smoker worked for me, thanks to tbrtt1's suggestion. Tell your wife you're gonna go buy a Plymouth roadrunner if you can't get the smoker!
I use brakleen from the auto parts store. People think I'm nuts, but it really works and evaporates very fast. I turn up the heat afterwords, and never had a problem. It will take paint off though..
Thanks! I didn't get good till I joined this forum. There is a post by bearcarver Called Boston butt step by step on this site. Very informative as well..good luck!
The shoulder comes in 2 parts if you want, the picnic and Boston butt. The picnic still has skin on it and doesn't come out as good as the butt in my opinion.i cooked them on the grates for the first 7 hours with no pan underneath, as my smoker only has 2 racks. It really doesn't start to drip...
I did mine on my deck. It's a master forge stand up. No heat from the bottom to speak of. I put a pig mat (used in mechanic and machine shops to soak up oil) under where the door opens and under the grease cup just in case.
Lat time I did two Boston butts, I started at 5pm, kept adding wood for smoke for 7 hrs, foiled them and went to sleep. Woke up at 6 and they still had a little while to go. Temp was 230 deg. Overnight, used a propane smoker. I figured after 7 hrs the meat wasn't gonna take much more smoke in...
Thanks again guys. Served it up at my daughter's birthday party and it was a huge hit. People were taking bowls home! Can't wait for my next project...
