    First Fatties w/ Q-View

    Well, with Jeff posting his "mini-Fattie" blog, I knew I had run out of excuses.  I had to try a Fatty.  So I decided to do 4 minis -- 2 wrapped in center cut bacon and 2 without.  For stuffing, I decided to do a twist on a Muffaletta for the Bride, and mushrooms and cheddar cheese for me.  I...

    Butt Plateau Reached!!

    This was the longest smoke so far -- 18hrs.  I had to battle a Nor'Easter, which made keeping temps consistent a challenge.  But it was fun nonetheless!. Q-View as follows: Bark Heaven Pulled Result

    Hello All -- I have a party starting at Noon next Saturday. I have an ECB that I use to smoke. I plan on smoking a Boston Butt for pulling. I'd rather not stay up all night tending the ECB, but will if I have to. Does anyone have advice about re-heating a smoked shoulder if I finish it...
