    Pop Corn? Salt ? With QVIEW

    Checked another forum and came up with these 2 post Smokeing salt. You want to keep the temperature extremely low. I mean like smoking cheese low. Apparently, if the temp gets above 200, it will burn off the smoke resin, on the salt and you have to start over again. I lit one briquette at a...

    Ron I have the same problem when I get a good whiff of the smoke. I can never taste the smoke until the next day. Everyone looks at me funny when I ask them if there is any smoke flavor in the meat.

    Thumb's down on the oven finishing method for butt

    I would say foiling at 140 like you said was to early. Mostly everyone has noted to 160 to 165 before foiling. Maybe just Maybe that 25 extra degrees does make a difference. That 25 degrees will go faster to temp then if left unfoiled until 165. Allowing more time of the fat to render down...
