    Graduation Pulled Pork

    Sounds good, I allow 2 hours per lb, so about 17 hours.  If its done early, wrap in towels and let rest in a cooler.  Just my 2 cents.  Good luck and good smokin'.

    Real new to smoking

    First off take a deep breath, congrats on the new smoker.  You need to be able to read the internal temp of what your cooking. Either a good instant read digital thermo like a thermoworks, or a dual probe leave in thermo like a maverick.  The maverick will allow you to monitor the temp that you...

    First time using WSM this weekend

    I'll give you my estimates because I don't have an 18.5, if anything these are over estimates, hopefully someone who owns one can correct me if I'm too far off.  I'd say about 2/3's full on the charcoal ring, and about 1/2 full on your chimney.  I use water in the bowl for the first few hours of...

    Hunsaker Vortex Drum Smoker

    Hey Gomez that's exactly the kind of feed back I was looking for.  You've actually seen this smoker and have talked to someone who's used it.  I'm still trying to track down vendors  out my way, so I can take a look at it for myself.  But it is encouraging to hear a positive opinion on them, so...

    I brush it on while I cook, using a silicone pastry brush.  Helps make chicken skin crispy.

    Butter on the counter....

    I'm sure if its out long enough it will, but mine doesn't stick around that long.  Always  have a 1/4lb in the dish on the counter.  Course its not as hot around here as Arizona, it was a sweltering 68* on the weekend.
