    Apple/Cherry Woods

    Damn you all. Wife doesn't know I'm going to do a loin this weekend.... She'll have a nice surprise though. Hmm.... Apple/Cherry maybe the way to go. I'm going to have to stew on this! Thanks for all the tips. I'm just going to have to experiment!

    Irish vs. English

    HA! Been a while since I heard that. I need to find the transcript of the conversation with the tower at Heathrow... funny funny stuff....

    St. Paddy's Day Humor

    Damn Scotsman.... The Irish kilts are nicer. I'm just biased though. Oh, and our beer is better! However, your golf is better! :) I need to get a bunch of stuff like you did with the Walsh family on there. Talk about spirit!

    Maiden Voyage of GOSM "Big Block"

    I know that I'm not getting as much smoke flavor as I did with my ECB. However, maintainance is a HELL of a lot easier on this Lowe's propane than it was with that ECB. I've had better luck with normal stick burners too. It looks like the BB is QUITE a bit bigger then my Lowe's BBQ Grillware...

    "OTBS"

    Grats, Goat. Now to work on getting in there myself! Your saloon looks great... nothing is complete without beer! (Or your beverage of choice!)

    Apple/Cherry Woods

    I love mesquite, but it's a very strong wood. I use about a 1/3 mesquite to 2/3 hickory mix on my smoker. Just depends. Pecan sounds like a good one too. I'll have to try that after I try this batch. As expected, there really is no 'wrong' way, of course. Nor one better than the other. Just...

    Dan Doodle

    :puzzled: This Irish bloke has never heard of that, but it seems quite Irish-American. Kind of like an american Banger. Sounds interesting. I'm here in Atlanta, and all through the south, I haven't heard of that. I'll have to look for it next time I'm up in NC!

    Apple/Cherry Woods

    Heh. Looks like I'm going to settle on an apple/hickory mix this weekend. I've pretty much talked myself into it.... One thing I need to do is automatically freeze half of whatever I cook. I still have about 3-5lbs of pork/beef in the fridge that my wife and I won't finish this week, and I HATE...

    First Brisket Questions (And other questions that may not belong in this forum....

    Yeppers.... It's more expensive, but it's worth it. Much more tender! I need to watch sales and try to pick some up when they get cheap :) Costco!

    Apple/Cherry Woods

    I just got in my woods from Nature's Own. I'm looking forward to firing up the smoker on a small batch (unlike last weekends full smoke!) of either ribs or a loin. That said, I haven't smoked with apple or cherry woods before. Would it be best to smoke strictly with just apple? Apple and...

    I have started writing more down with Que, but I need to extend this to other items as well. It gets rather frustrating sometimes! Everyone has different styles: that's the fun part.

    Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1

    I hate you so much. I'm going to Honolulu next month. I can't wait. I think I'm going to have to make some of this on Saturday..... Mahalo!

    First Brisket Questions (And other questions that may not belong in this forum....

    Whoops. The brisket is the 2nd picture. I treated the brisket similarly to a butt. I foiled it with some bourbon and apple juice in the foil, but I misread some things on here, and it got to 190/195 instead of 180/185. Because of that, I ended up pulling the brisket just like pork, and it was...

    They were fine, I just didn't spray/mop them more like I usually do.

    First Brisket Questions (And other questions that may not belong in this forum....

    The butts came out great. I put them in the cooler overnight, and pulled them late morning (about 9hrs in the cooler), and I found out some things. 1. Boston butt > Picnic shoulder as far as pulled pork goes. Both are good, but a butt was much jucier and a deeper flavor. 2. Don't brine, just...

    Ugh.... I put a pan of beans in there for... well, when you forget about them, it's a long time. I forgot about the butts too for a bit, but they were a bit more forgiving. I had 20 folks over here for poker tonight, and it ran very late, and I couldn't break away, and by the time I got back to...

    Arright. I have some pics of the spread I'm doing.... I should probably post this in the pork forum too :) I was about 3 hours late getting everything on that I wanted to get on, but that's OK. I had SUCH a mess on my hands since I just wrapped things up with plastic wrap - I had rub and...

    Thanks for the info. I probably will have a little bacon left over, so that make work. Hrm. What about apple wood? HD or Wally World, or somewhere else?

    Doing a whole pile of stuff tomorrow... and I have a few questions. Here is what I'm doing, and I have a few questions.... sorry about just posting this here. Please move if need be. 2 6 lb butts. 1 4 lb half picnic shoulder. (I've done both in the past, but I damn sure forgot which cut was...
