    Brisket/Chuckie foiling question (Now with qview!)

    I was going to start another thread in the pork section since there is more pork, but this is my first chuckie so I'll just post it all here. The butt and picnic are still chugging away, but the chucky is already all gone. It was 4.65lbs and I spent 12 hrs on it. Despite my love of bark, I...

    Pork Butt Question

    Hmm, I like the beans (pintos) with the drippins. Adding 2-3 tbsp baking soda for every dry pound of beans and letting them go for a loooooooong time gives them a very smooth texture. I have some that have been going for 9 1/2 hours right now and they are just starting to taste right. Another...

    Ooops! We had a fire on Sunday

    There is all sorts of safety stuff in the design of propane tanks, but you still do not want to be near one if something goes. At the very least, you will lose any hair that is exposed. You have to be trying really hard and most likely be doing stuff that would make the ATF very unhappy with...

    Brisket/Chuckie foiling question (Now with qview!)

    Well, I put a butt, picnic and a chuckie on at 6:30am MST. I'll foil the chuckie, but not the butts. I also have a mess of beans on below it all so that it may catch some pork drippins. It's riding the TBS @208 and slowly rising. Putting beans on like that makes the smoker take longer to...

    Brisket/Chuckie foiling question (Now with qview!)

    Mush BAAAD! Fortunately my smoker recovers its temperature exceedingly fast, so I can afford to check often once the probe starts reading 165 or so. The downside is that it requires more attention. There's an upside to that extra attention though. Beer.

    Brisket/Chuckie foiling question (Now with qview!)

    Alright then, so it sounds like you guys have experienced the results of not foiling and aren't as impressed. If I do a chuckie, I'd like to pull it, so 205 or so seems to be what a lot of people like to bring it up to. Flash says 210, so obviously there is a bit of wiggle room here. Every...

    Brisket/Chuckie foiling question (Now with qview!)

    I may be cooking one of the two tomorrow along with a butt and picnic that I'm going to put on, though it maybe just the flat for the brisket. I don't live in a bbq state, so getting the cuts that are oh-so-suited for bbq can be a bit more challenging. Flats are common around here...

    Todays Smoke !!! Butt,ABTs and Spam!! With Q-View!! Final pics!

    I am Sam, Sam I am. I do not like green eggs and spam. I like butts, briskets and bacon but I do not like the meat Hormel is fakin' But I might like it if it was smoked. Smoke is like bacon. It makes so many things taste better.

    What NOT to use - Cowboy Lump

    Frontier has two different kinds. One is South American hardwoods and the other is made from US hardwoods. The South American stuff (all I've seen around here) is the stuff that gets the average rating. The US hardwoods gets a recommended or highly recommended, but I haven't been able to get...

    shrimp(what type of wood)

    IMO, just the smoke from peach has one of the most delectable aromas. Peach smoke ranks right up there with Hoppe's 9 for good smells in my book. 'Course, I don't think that cooking with Hoppe's 9 would be such a good idea.

    Mother's day - beer can chicken plus some

    Funny thing about those apples. My niece helped me with everything, including hiding those apples from everybody else. When I went out to pull them out, I got some inquisitive looks and my mom finally saw them and said "OH, ARE THOSE APPLES WITH SUGAR, CINNAMON AND BUTTER? MY GRANDMOTHER USED...

    Mother's day - beer can chicken plus some

    Mother's day and mom wanted meatloaf, so I was going to make a meatloaf fatty. Then she changed her mind to stuffed bell peppers, which I do not make bland. I toned it down a bit on this because my mom prefers it that way. My sister, being a mother, also had some say in what was cooked and...
