    Going to smoke a 14 lb Pork Shoulder

    It tastes great, and I really appreciate all the advice.  My mind was set for putting the butt back in the Okie Joe for a couple hours this morning, and when I saw 210, my heart sank. You are right, it is all about gettin' it done!  Thanks again.

    OBX

    I live in MD but have a home in Kitty Hawk. I am headed there on Thurs night. My favorite NC BBQ, besides Parkers and Reds in Wilson was Sauls just over the bridge on the mainland. I was so sad when they had to close, and my family really misses their BBQ and fried chicken dinners.

    Going to smoke a 14 lb Pork Shoulder

    I live in MD now so I couldn't go to the EW, but I bet that was super. Yes, the butter is good when I am basting on an open pit. You don't need the butter for a smoker! .

    Going to smoke a 14 lb Pork Shoulder

    BBQ in the Carolinas varies by region of the state and each region thinks they have the answer, BUT Eastern NC uses a vinegar and hot pepper recipe that is by FAR the best. ( I am originally from Greenville, NC, later moving to Goldsboro & Raleigh.) MY Recipe is: Eastern NC BBQ Sauce ala Floyd...

    Going to smoke a 14 lb Pork Shoulder

    I finally got the nerve to open her up and was pleasantly surprised! It literally fell off the bone and the sections divided without a touch while juice oozed out into my catch pan. I removed the fat and then scraped the areas between the sections. She was pulling herself as I touched her! I...

    I hope you are right. I am still sitting here looking at the foil wrapped butt; afraid to unwrap it! The overnight oven idea seemed like such a good idea at the time! LOL!

    Going to smoke a 14 lb Pork Shoulder

    Help, Jimmy.  I smoked a 7.5 lb butt yesterday for 7 hrs and the IT got to 166 at midnight when I double foil wrapped it and put it in the oven. I set the oven at 250 and went to sleep expecting to put it back on the Okie Joe when I got up at 0700.  When I looked at the IT,  it is up to 210...

    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    I agree, my fuel basket is super! It makes fire management a breeze and is easy to keep fired up and to shake off excess ash. I could done my 10LB pork butt, 2 racks of ribs, and a large turkey breast last weekend without it!

    Picture of Yesterday's Pork Butts

    My effort was greatly rewarded with the best dinner ever! NC BBQ pulled pork butt, sliced pork, and ribs. The turkey finished too late and will be eaten another day. I love this Okie Joe!

    My First Pork Butt & Ribs on my new Oklahoma Joe

    We had the best dinner ever! It was a HUGE success.  I did a lot of research and just wanted a real Pro style BBQ smoker. I didn't want a pellet smoker, already had an electric one, and don't care for the bullets.  When I researched the offset smokers I found there were three categories: a) the...
