    Newbie Question

    Just seen you're in Lubbock...does the Air Force still have any activities on the base that use to be there?  If so, if you can get a connection on base, they'll have many types of empties stock piled somewhere.  Not that I'd know mine came from a similar place.

    Newbie Question

    They are very difficult to find in my area as well!  I thought it was going to be easy with all the food type processors etc in my area, but I learned a lot of them have switched over to plastic drums.  Ask friends to keep an eye out, I just happened to mention to someone at work how hard it was...

    1st Butt Since Christmas

    Thanks Wylie!  I've tried not foiling because I love the bark so much (who doesn't), but after 3 attempts at not foiling I hit major stalls and even had one butt go as long 20+ hours!!  Each time I tried to go without foil I had similar luck! lol  The foiling doesn't ruin it or anything, there...

    How long does it take to smoke two 4-pound butts

    First congrats on the new smoker and good luck with the comp tomorrow! As the others have already given great advice, I'll just add a little. You didn't mention your method, however, I'd recommend minimum of 225* chamber temp, double foil at an internal meat temp of 165* and pull from the...

    UDS help

         Not sure of the positioning of your lid probe, but I would think the one in the lid would be the hottest. If you are only using a short stem probe on the side (that doesn't reach out over the hot coals) it is going to read lower than your digital that is placed on your rack, directly over...

    1st Butt Since Christmas

    Thanks all!  Well, we made it to 200° IT right at the 10 1/2 hour mark and double wrapped in towels and into the cooler for an hour.   I couldn't stop eating the bark as I was pulling, this turned out being one of the better butts I've done and was well worth the wait.  Only hit a mild stall at...
