    Question about cooking time

    We all now this and the OP even stated this but there are rough guide lines for cooking. I can reliably count on two hours per pound the way I do it. As we know there are some that finish quick and some that take longer.

    Question about cooking time

    Yeah I honestly want to find the guy that started the 1.5 hr and kick him in the shins.  I normally have it for at least 2 hr/lb if not a little more.  So yeah I agree with JimmyJ on the throwing 1.5 hr/lb out the window.  Unless you run consistently over 250 and more in the 265-275 range.  But...

    Degree Tip

    We mention temp a lot on this forum and most people use the * in lieu of ° but did you know you can easily get ° to show up?  If you press ALT the type 248 on your num pad it will appear. Just a handy alt code where they put all the symbols not commonly used.

    First smoke in new smoker

    I was in the Air Force till 2009.  Now I work as a contractor on base.  Love the area though I can't find a good butcher.  Nearest I have found is 1.5 hrs away and most of the meat from him is going to be through a distributor.  So my quest for a good butcher continues.

    First smoke (Pork Butt) today. Some Noob questions. (w Qview)

    First does the cooker have a water pan and did you fill it?  That should help lower the temp some as it helps diffuse the heat.  I am not familiar with your cooker and someone else might have something better for advice here shortly. As for to long to rest you can wrap the butt in foil and then...

    50th Surprise!

    That is why I make it by the gallon.  It makes it so much easier. I am back from the party and it went off awesome.  I was worried that the butts wouldn't finish in time but they finished even better.  Right at 3pm they were ready to come off and so was everything else.  So I pulled them off...

    Tomato based sauce 101?

    Yeah for a while I fought with it tasting to tomato-ish / ketchupy and just more brown sugar and a few other tweaks, maybe a little local honey (helps with allergies) can help reduce that taste.  Sounds like you are on the right track so just keep it up!
