    Rib ?

    Sqwib, when you say fast and hot, how fast and how hot are you talking?  I've tried fast and hot ribs before and they've been closer to jerky texture than to ribs.  That was admittedly my very first foray into smoking, so I was flying very blind.   Just curious.

    Thanks.  I saw your dish towel suggestion in another thread, but hadn't thought to keep it at a simmer.  That would be singularly horrible to have spent that much time on that much pork, only to ruin it all on the re-heat.  The third butt took about 21 hours to come to 205, and the last 1.5...

    AWESOME!!  Way to bring this thread full circle.  I wondered if anyone would catch the Vigo the Carpathian reference.  Well played, good sir.  Well played.

    ok on to the next build

    You sir, are a smart man.  That's an idea with potential.  The Traeger smoker has become a hugely popular item out here in the last few years.  You'll see it at Costco, Cabela's, Sportsman's Warehouse, etc... fairly regularly.  I think the reason for its success is that BBQ just isn't too well...

    So the chicken was great. Perfect flavor. That brine is money. The white meat was a little tougher, maybe a tad dry. That might be because I'm used to Costco rotisserie birds and who knows what they inject those with. Anyway, it was outstanding. One of the pork butts is taking FOREVER. It is...

    Had to open the hood and check a few ITs manually.  My wireless therm is on the fritz.  I've hit a bit of a stall on my pork with my IT holding around 185 for longer than I expected, but I think I'm in the home stretch.  And I'm gonna take the temps up a bit higher to force the issue.  250 to...

    Time for the chicken!  Out of the brine (I brined for about 26 hours) and into the smoke. Here's what the pork looked like when I opened it up.  Check out the pullback on the far right.  It looks like the bone is getting ready to jump out.  IT is at 183, so it's getting close. Re-arranged...

    Man that's a beautiful sight. I've calibrated the square thermos and they're about 4 degrees low. So it's running dead nuts perfect. It's takene almost a year, but I think I've got this puppy figured out. And I'm right where I want to be on IT. I only wish I could take a picture of how it...

    So, a few lessons learned over the night.  I've been having a miserable time controlling my temps across the grate.  Last night I included a really big water pan, resting on my tuning plates right up against my SFB baffle.  Problem: SOLVED.  With extreme prejudice.  From the time I dropped the...
