    Char Sui Shoulder

    Got to say; I really liked it. The Chinese 5 spice gives it a distinct flavor the we enjoyed. I want to try it on pork chops or maybe cut a shoulder into steaks. See if the sauce penetrates more.

    Wanting to purchase a Pellet Smoker question

    I have a Grilla Silverbac. I've settled on a mix of pellets I'm happy with; so I'm not changing pellets. I live in New York & weather has been crappy lately. Pellets were in the hopper for a couple weeks when I went in for surgery; leaving the grill sitting for 4 more weeks. It sits out on my...

    12-14 lbs turkey Pellet grill/smoker temp?

    My understanding of pellet grills is there is little to no smoke after 300. At 335; I don't see anything happening as far as smoking goes. Then 195 is a definite temp to make rubbery skin. The recipe I use calls for about an hour at 205 for smoke flavor & desired color than crank the grill up to...

    Foiled Butt

    Dumb Question #633- When my pork butt hit 160; I placed it in an aluminum 1/2 pan & covered with foil. Is this the same as wrapping it in foil? Will it cook the same as if wrapped?

    Fresh Ham

    I don't have the time or the room to use nitrates & make what you call a ham. Just wanted to roast pork. Concerned about IT & time.

    Fresh Ham

    I pulled a boned & tied 1/2 fresh ham out of the freezer. Just want to brine it in salt, sugar & spices for a couple days. It's about 9 lbs. I want to slice & serve. Was thinking 250 for 10 hrs or so till IT hits 145. Thoughts? I'm concerned about the safety of my cook.

    Clean up

    Depends on your personal preference. You can scrub it clean as new if you care to invest that kind of time,. I just clean the crusty bits off the shelves once cooled & that's it. Everything else is seasoning. Once the "seasoning" builds up too much you may notice some flaking. This you'll want...
