    Any advice on my first sausage attempt?

    One important thing to remember about 'our' sausage is if you get it from a quality BBQ joint it will generally be consistent in taste, now if you get it from a joint that reheats their sausage in the microwave, THAT sausage will generally be drier unless you get I fresh as the microwave will...

    How long to smoke a Boston Butt?

    Go 275. The fattier my butt te hotter I go, It's not unusual for me to go 300. You can always wrap in foil when you hit desired color, juiciness I will also go 275 on ribs which is why my last ribs went (8th place out of 105)

    Wild Pig

    As long as you kill it when it's COLD let it hang for a day or so in the freeze, field dress immediately after killing (most important cut the testicles off ASAP!) the absolute best is to catch a small piglet feed it out for a few weeks on corn the. Slaughter it smoke it low n slow whole!

    got a dumb question

    Don't bother with liquid marinade there are few applications where liquid marinade is beneficial as studies have shown that liquid marinade will often only penetrate meat up to 1mm per side. So unless your doing jerky or Philly cheese steaks don't bother...oh forgot to tell ya, check out BBQ...

    need advice from all you veteran pittsmokers

    Put in fridge (unless its beef ribs, then they can sit out to room temp) takes around 30 minutes or so I have done ribs...rub then straight to the smoker. A lot of people use olive oil to coat before rubbing as it helps the run stick but I have never had a problem with rub sticking or you could...

    need advice from all you veteran pittsmokers

    You don't have to "marinate" run just let it sit in there until it starts to pull a little moisture out if the ribs, it will become glazy, glassy, and will liquify.
