    Costs where you live

    Curious as to what things cost around the country and given the big crowd connected with SMF thought this would be the place to find info. I live north of Atlanta and find bone-in butts ranging from $ 1.19 to 1.49 /# Baby backs range $ 2.49/# and up (way up) Pork loin $ 1.59/up

    Pork butt

    No wonder some of my guest died... just kidding. Thanks for the info. Been doing them for a long time and never thought about the danger zone. I'll revamp the warm up part. Thanks. Think this is a good place.

    Not sure about the construction, but I'd stand back pretty far when I lit that fuel tank!

    I'm a Newbie!

    Ran across the webpage, liked it and joined. I'm Larold. I live just north of Atlanta. I bought an Oklahoma Joe Smoker (16" tube, 40" cooking/smoking area) over 20 years ago, I think I paid about a dollar a pound! It's the best 750 I ever spent on food. I've done 100's of Baby backs, more...

    Oklahoma Joe Smokers

    Was reading about newer OklaJoe smokers available. I saw one at Lowe's for around $500. I bought mine 20 years ago, paid $750 for it(16" 40" cook area) and have never had one regret. Every year for over 10 years I cooked 33 baby backs for our 4th party, and have done countless butts through...
