    Best way to remove membrane from lots of ribs?

    I agree with the Costco suggestion. If you live near one, getting the baby backs from there is really convenient. The ribs are cheaper and the ones I have done have always been very good. I must say, however, that one time, one of the racks didn't have the membrane removed. Only time that's...

    Amount of pulled pork for a group of 25

    Thanks, guys. I am definitely going to give myself plenty of time. I have had butts wrapped in foil and towels in a cooler for up to 6 hours and they've still been too hot to touch. Thank goodness for Bear Claws and heavy rubber gloves.

    Amount of pulled pork for a group of 25

    Having leftovers DEFINITELY won't be a problem, but it's more the practical side of smoking more than one butt at the same time. I've never done more than one butt at a time. I've got the three-drawer GOSM and I don't want to put more butts in than I need to.

    Amount of pulled pork for a group of 25

    I'm doing pulled pork for a group of about 25. I've never done PP for more than about 8 of us and I always did about a 7-8 lb. Boston butt and it was plenty. But, I really don't know how much to smoke per person for a group. About how much uncooked Boston butt do I need? I was thinking about 3/4...

    I am sad. He was kind to me and everyone he dealt with here. Condolences to his wife, Carol.

    newbie and cant keep temp below 250

    Your temperature may actually be below 250. I have the three-drawer GOSM and my door thermometer generally runs about 25 degrees warmer than the thermometer which I use inside the smoker. The difference can vary from nearly identical to nearly 50 degrees, but it generally is about a 25 degrees...

    Sirloin Tip Roast

    I have done several sirloin tip roasts and I have one I am going to do this afternoon for us and friends for dinner this evening. I bought it from Costco, so, yes, it's big, but I will probably do half of it or so today and freeze the rest. I must admit I have only done the sirloin tip roasts in...

    Wrapping pork

    Correct, I do not wrap on the smoker. Never have through many pork butts.

    Greetings from florida

    Great place to learn a LOT, Joe. Several of us here from the Sunshine State. Others will be along shortly to give you lots of good information about learning your way around here. Of course, some of us who have been here a while are still learning this new format.

    Wrapping pork

    Somewhere between 200 and 210. Then I double wrap in foil, wrap in towels, and cooler for at least a couple of hours. I have gone up to 6 hours in the cooler and it was still too hot to touch.

    Squirrel Burger and homey fries...

    Them's some good eats, girl!!! Major props! I guess the Diet Pepsi takes out all the calories from that delish burger and fries, huh?

    Stupid question about ribs

    Yes, and the ones I have gotten at Costco have been very meaty and very tasty!

    Quick Question

    I have foiled and toweled a Boston butt anywhere from 2 hours to 6 hours, and it's been too hot to touch every time.

    Went to the store for a steak and ended up with my first butt..

    Can't turn down .99 per pound butt. It hasn't been that cheap for a while here in Central Florida. Nice-looking ribeye, too!

    Sirloin Tip Roast with Qview

    I really like sirloin tip roasts... It's a really good cut of meat. Here in Central Florida Publix has them for $2.69 a pound this week. That's a pretty decent price. Anyway, I take my sirloin tip to 138 and let it rest covered with foil, but not wrapped for 20-30 minutes. It usually goes up to...

    Quick Question About "bark" On Butt

    Maybe keep the bark as separate as possible, but keep it available for people. They may surprise you and like it. I think most of us smoke meats tend to like things a little spicier and hotter than most folks so it may be a good idea to keep it separate if it's got some bite to it.

    man im getting brave.....

    I don't see any reason why your plan wouldn't work, although I have never foiled a pork butt in my life, except for when I was taking it off the smoker and wrapping with foil and towels to rest. I like lots of bark.

    Hey Y'all!

    Welcome, Shad. Just like thousands of others who live in Florida, we get to the NC mountains quite a bit. We're coming up this summer right after Independence Day, and looking forward to some cool mountain air!
