    Dumb Question, Just Wondering

    When the wind chills start getting into the sub-zero range I stop smoking...That doesn't mean I quit grilling though! That's year round, you don't have to babysit a grill, just know what you're cookin'.

    Question about Ribs

    One way you can check is to stick your finger in between the ribs, or in your case you may just want to give one a pinch right in the middle of a rib to see if the meat is soft. If there's resistance they need more time. Remember, you're the cook, you're in charge of quality control. That...

    Question about Ribs

    If the meat stuck, it sounds like they may have been a little undercooked. I'm sure you adjusted your cook time since they were pre-cut, it may have just been a little short of done. I'm sure they were still good!

    Pullled Pork?

    Shoulders/butts are the most forgiving of bbq meats, you really can't go wrong! Just make sure yours isn't frozen in the middle like mine was last week... They're usually around 6-7lbs. Bone in for sure--gives more flavor. And as for serving...were you going to do a finishing sauce? I...

    drum help

    I struck out with bakeries and food establishments. I was calling around to scrap yards and someone told me to check for a place that reconditions barrels. They don't have the lining in them and it doesn't matter what was in them, they're clean as a new barrel and only run about $15. Good luck!

    Butt Problems

    Not sick yet... Went back and did the water test on the therms just to dbl check, all 3 checked out ok. They must have beaten that pig into submission... The juice inside was bloody and the meat was certainly red. I picked these butts up at costco and didn't realize that they had the bone...

    Butt Problems

    I smoked these butts just like I have the many, many others before. Thermometers are accurate, wrapped w/ foil @ 160*, removed from smoker when internal temp was 200*, let rest for 3 hrs, inside was red. Any other possible reasons for this to happen?

    Butt Problems

    So I smoked 2 butts today and everything was going seamlessly until it came time for pulling. I know that every piece of meat is unique, but this was just frustrating! Both butts 7.5# each, smoked between 225-250 until the internal temp was 200*. That only took 6 hrs...thought that was kinda...
