    First Pork Butt

    I have utilized meat injection for quite some time so it is a process I am very comfortable with. I especially like to inject Poultry. My wife is from the Philippines, and although they eat a lot of pork, they of course don't have American style BBQ. This will be her first experience with...

    First Pork Butt

    Very nice! I definitely want to get a good bark on this butt. I bought a gallon of 100% apple juice today when I was at the market. How often do you spritz? Once every 45 minutes until you wrap? I was thinking of doing this. Inject the butt with: 3/4 cup apple juice 1/2 cup water 1/2...

    Man caught in auger at Royal Oak charcoal plant near Branson, Mo

    Wow! really hate to hear that. I worked at a metal recycling plant for a few years and there was a story told during training about a guy falling into the metal shredder. There was no saving him though. Hopefully this guy survives.

    First Pork Butt

    That sounds good. I think I rushed the ribs the first time. I know what I did wrong now, I didn't smoke to the appropriate tenderness. I'm going to try a 3-2-1 method my next go round with the ribs. My kids love fall off-the-bone ribs so I think that will give us the results they are looking...

    Thanks for your input! The ribs didn't come out the way I wanted, so I want to make sure I make up for it with this smoke.

    First Pork Butt

    Good day all, I picked up a pork butt from save-a-lot today. It is a little over 3lbs. This will be my 2nd run on the smoker. I've watched many YouTube videos on smoking butt. Some apply a rub on naked meat, some use a binder like yellow mustard or olive oil, then apply their rubs. It also...

    First Cook on Char-Griller smoker - Mixed Results!

    These were baby back ribs. My wife bought them for me at the market. I will definitely give spare ribs a try next time.

    Ok they did not bend that much. I have a feeling they didn't smoke long enough

    I did not temp them, but I did do the bend test. When picking them up in the middle they did bend down at the ends, with a wide U defintely did not bend into a ^ .

    First Cook on Char-Griller smoker - Mixed Results!

    They cooked in total for about 5 hours @ 270°-275°. They seemed to be fork tender when I removed from the smoker. I wrapped them in foil after I removed from smoker and let them rest.

    First Cook on Char-Griller smoker - Mixed Results!

    I finally got my first cook under my belt yesterday! I cooked two racks of ribs and a whole chicken spatchcocked. I started the smoker using a chimney of Royal oak lump charcoal from Wal-Mart. Once it really got going, about 25 minutes I added it to my charcoal basket. I threw on a piece of...

    Thanks! I'm finally getting her fired up later today? I have 2 racks of ribs and a whole chicken I plan to cook using the spatchcock method. I plan on injecting the chicken with a creole garlic butter, then applying a nice poultry rub. For the ribs, we are using only a rub, not going to...

    I watched a YouTube video where a guy takes the 2 sear plates that are provided for the firebox and turned them into baffles. He takes them and wrapped them in heavy duty foil. He then shows the temp with them in place and without and he holds temp with only a 1 degree difference. Check out...

    Right on that sounds good. That is the one thing I was worried about was how hard it would be to manage the fire to hold a consistent temp.

    Great tip, thanks a lot! Do yo have this same model smoker? This is the char-griller outlaw. How is it in holding an even temp for long periods?

    Thanks Ray! I will definitely be breaking it it as soon as I possibly can. It has rained everyday since I got and modded it. I'm hoping to get it seasoned asap, and get my first smoke going. I'll definitely post pictures when I get it going!

    Thanks! I was a kitchen manager for a while at Famous Daves BBQ. I absolutely love the flavor of a well smoked piece of meat. I'm very much looking forward to starting my new culinary hobby!

    Thanks Sowsage. My birthday was this past Sunday, August 25th. Unfortunately it has rained the past three days so I have not been able to season the smoker yet. I have sealed it the best I can as that is the number one complaint I have read about on the smoker & seen on YouTube. I picked up...
