    ( smoking Pork shoulder and a Brisket ) help needed

    Let the fun begin!! Today's smoke session I will have to lean on the temperature gauges that I installed and the OEM larger door gauge because my digital temperature probes are in the meat. I am shooting for 225 degrees. From past sessions I know the temperature at the food in the center of the...

    SUGGESTIONS NEEDED.

    I agree 100 percent to keep his passion alive and to stay healthy he will need to invest a fair amount of money in the proper PPE plus training on the PPE and engineering tactics ( fans ) and consider relocating the smoker. The least expensive option is to find a smoker buddy one who will tend...

    First 80 gallon Reverse Flow build

    The smoker I purchased has either been painted or powder coated from the factory even inside the firebox. If you want a professional end result I would have the tank media blasted and talk to a professional powder coating company. Most of their coatings can handle high heat but you will want to...

    ( smoking Pork shoulder and a Brisket ) help needed

    We started defrosting the pork shoulder first so it was ready for the rub down session first. My Wife opted to put it in a foil covered pan rather than wrapping it in plastic wrap for fear of the rub getting rubbed off of the shoulder, I did not see any reason to argue so that is how it is in...

    SUGGESTIONS NEEDED.

    Consider your health most important over any food no matter how good it is. With this in mind with your health issue you will most likely find any mask good enough to filter out the air and get a good enough seal to your face to be too restrictive for your health condition. There are warnings...

    ( smoking Pork shoulder and a Brisket ) help needed

    My Concern is the bark from the blind taste test I have seen ( and personally tasted ) I think I would like the bark that comes with a no wrapped Brisket. yet I wonder if I will even get a nice bark if the Pork is Dripping on it the entire time.

    One thing left, is it OK for my brisket to stay unwrapped in the smoker the entire time? or should it get Wrapped in foil or Butchers Paper? ( because of the so called stall I keep reading about ) We do not have the paper and I was hoping they would get done just fine and stay moist with the...

    ( smoking Pork shoulder and a Brisket ) help needed

    I normally use my iGrill2 for ambient smoker temps but for this session both the probes I have will go into the meats right when I put them in the smoke chamber. My instinct is to not use the tenderizer on either because once cooked properly they are already tender meats. I was planning on...

    Thank you guys so much. Next possibly controversial question I use our needle tenderizer on steaks ribeyes porkchops chicken, Is it ok to use on Brisket and pork Shoulder? or should I just leave well enough alone and let the smoker do its magic. I ask because everything I have used this...

    ( smoking Pork shoulder and a Brisket ) help needed

    BTW I am pretty sure there is not point on this brisket But since I have never done one I am not certain. Any other advice on smoking- cooking times would be appreciated along with advice if we should just smoke them on separate days since our smoker is a smallish Vertical upright one would have...

    Hi guys the Wife and I want to try something a bit more challenging, We have a Nice Pork Shoulder and a Beef Brisket flat with no point end. I will post pictures of them. We were thinking we could put the pork Shoulder on the upper rack and have it drip down on the Brisket for added flavor. Or...

    Applying to pork shoulder

    I have been taught rub it wrap it and stick it in the fridge for 24-36 hours. What happens if it goes beyond that I wouldn't know. I am thinking you are going to be good to go. Best to hear it from some pros as I am just a rookie.
