    whole hog

    Maybe I missed it in the "search", but couldn't find any topics on whole hogs. I plan on doing a hog on the smoker. Probably about 40/50 lbs. or so. Anyone else done this, and if so, any pointers you can share with me? Thanks!

    Pork Butt vs. Shoulder

    You're going to have more waste with the shoulder than the butt. The shoulder will have the thick layer of fat, which is hard for rub and smoke to penetrate. You'd need to trim it before cooking, IMHO! Double check that price...I complain when butts hit $1.69 here!

    Bottom Round smoking time

    Never did one for chili, usually smoke to rare for thin slices. Reheat with aus jus for sandwiches. I would think if it's for chili, you could cook to 130 and pull, since it'll finish cooking in the chili. I assume you are going to cube it.......Probably about an hour per pound @ 220-225.

    Smoked Beef Sandwich

    Man, sandwiches are a favorite around here, and something like that would be a gigantic hit. I don't know how you'd top that!

    Can my brisket be saved?

    How big was the brisket? 12.5 hours - @1.5 hours per pound (average time) would cover a 8 lb. brisket. Internal temp isn't always the best gauge. It's done when it's done!

    It's mostly beef...

    Needed a brief change from brisket, ribs, chicken. Went gourmet with a smoked bologna, burnt ends and a few mild sausage links. Daves beans, some sauteed veggies, and I had a meal!

    What went wrong?

    A rub that works for pork may not do well with beef. Pork absorbs flavor more readily than beef. Might check for some beef rubs for your next attempt. Make sure you're not washing the rub off with to much spraying.

    .99/Pound Briset-Kroger

    Kroger has them here, too, but Wally World is closer, so I'll comp the price there. If I'm lucky, WW will have choice packers!

    where's the beef?

    meat-man no sauce - basted with honey and apple juice before I foiled. Took them out and finished them uncovered. Honey makes them shine real nice!

    where's the beef?

    Thought I had some beef ribs in the bunch, but they turned out to be all pork. Had enough for a feast. Smoked in my BWS with hickory. My wife had plenty to take to work and share with her friends. Cornbread salad was mighty good, too! Back on the diet Monday.......

    First butt with Dutch's beans

    I use hickory, but cut it way down after about 3 hours or so, as to not over smoke it. Nevertheless, that sure looked good - the beans tasted good just looking at them!

    Simple supper yesterday

    Simple supper yesterday A couple of butts cooked and pulled. Used SoFlaQuer's finishing sauce (OMG good!), some coleslaw and parmessan tater tots. Not fancy, but awful good! Couldn't find TC cajun seasoning, so I used Louisiana cajun seasoning in the finishing sauce. Excellent!
