    Pork Shoulder AND Brisket; gotta post somewhere...

    Thanks for all the high praise. The butt was truly great, but I am sad the report the brisket was less than stellar. It was not done long enough; not nearly tender enough. The flovor was good, but confusing; the weber kicken chicken was a poor choice. It's edible, just not great. I'll be...

    The brisket is done now, but I am still trying to figure out how to cut it properly.

    Wow, the butt was a winner. My wife is usually pretty picky; this time she went back for seconds.

    Thank for the quick reply. I took your advice and wrapped it. Before I did, I asked my 4-year old if you wanted some. Asked "are they ribs?" I told him no, but that it was kind of like ribs. When I told him it was a Boston Butt, he said, "yuk", but tried some off a corner after some coaxing then...

    New to the board: smokin in OH

    Thanks all for the warm welcome. Smoking a pork shoulder and brisket tonight. After surfing the site I have changed my mind about getting a bigger smoker and have decided to get a simple weber kettle for grilling and dedicate my smokenpit to a smoker-only unit. Going to try some of the mods...

    Wet vs. dry wood

    regarding soaking chunks: I soak mine so as to slow the burn rate. I suspect if you soaked them long enough to fully waterlog them it might take a week or more, especially w/hardwood. So, I do mine like I would dry beans when in a hurry. I put them in a big pot of water on the stove and boil...

    Smoked Squirrel!

    I made some Squirrel Jerky in my mom's deydrator when I was kid. It was ok, but as I recall, more work than it was worth. It is doable though, and likely a fun way to practice while not wasting any "prized" or purchased meat.

    Hi there. What great site. I have owned my Brinkmann Smoke'N Pit since 1993 and added the firebox to it in 1997. What a great unit. I've had great success with chickens, turkeys, ribs, salmon, and halibut. But alas, it (the grill) is getting old. It is pretty weathered and rusted on the...
