    Smoked Pork Butt (Bone In vs Boneless) | The Bearded Butchers

    always heard leave the bone in but these guys did one each way . i've only been smoking a hair over a year and i've always left the bone in , but getting seasoning inside doesn't sound like a bad idea . what are your experience/thoughts ? take care , jeff

    Oklahoma Joe Bronco sealant

    yep , it is amazing how consistently it holds temp . i can get about 10 hours at 250-260 on one load of wally world charcoal , about half a 16lb bag . i'll probably end up doing the lava lock too .

    learned a lesson about filling a smoker with lots of meat .

    Thanks , I'll shoot for 275ish on my next cooks on the bronco . I always shot for 275-300 on the offset and it came out fine ..... after I learned to manage the fire/smoke so stuff didn't come out bitter

    we got the 36 inch $199 MM griddle from sams almost 2 weeks ago . we really like the easy peasy front grease tray and the price . however the front 1/4 doesn't get near as hot as the upper 3/4 , it is good for keeping things warm . it's more than enough actual cooking area for the 3 of us and a...

    learned a lesson about filling a smoker with lots of meat .

    i've had a longhorn combo for almost a year . i've used the offset side mostly and always started with a chimney of hot coals and added splits for the actual cook . i've cooked 1 and 2 pork shoulders on it at a time and never noticed a difference in cooking times . i tried to stay around 275...
