    First Pork Butt!

    So really happy with how my first pork Butts turned out! Finished them with SoFlaquers finishing sauce and made a batch of his Carolina Mustard Sauce as well. Sammies were a hit. 8 people just about finished off a 10 lb Butt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First Pork Butt!

    Smoker Temp = 275-300 Wrapped Butts at 165 Spritzed every hour Rested in cooler at 200 Pulled meat at 205 Bark did soften slightly but still made for great sandwiches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Coleslaw

    Thanks for all the input fellas! Just made my slaw based on johnmeyers's recipe. I ended up buying a Walmart bag of coleslaw mix and feel it's more than half a head of lettuce so I doubled the add ins. Taste pretty great to me and not too creamy so we will go with it. Spent all morning smoking...

    Coleslaw

    This sounds great! Thank you! Miracle Whip is an abomination no matter what it's for. I'm basically trying to recreate a BBQ sandwich that I had at a local brewery. I've never been a slaw fan but it was the first time I had it on a sandwich and it was everything!! Looks like this recipe is right...

    First Ribs!

    Wow! You guys are just too much! Thank you! As far as how they tasted...I'm a fan. I like my ribs to be tender. Not FOB but the meat should bite off clean. Check! I concocted my own rub that included brown sugar and a nice kick of cayenne pepper. There's a noticable and enjoyable heat but not...

    Smoker Names

    Does your smoker have a name? The way you would name a car or a boat? If so...what do you call it (her?). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First Ribs!

    So today I'm trying my hand at smoking my first ribs. Hoping it goes well as I knowingly overpaid $54 for 3 full racks of STL Style Ribs!!! Trying to keep it simple but it's tough with so many varying schools of thought. Prepped with a simple dry rub and overnight in the fridge (maybe 8 hours)...

    First Smoke! Wings!

    Completed my first ever Smoke on my custom built offset! Injected wings with a 1:1 Franks Red Hot and Cajun Butter. Smoked on Pecan for 3.5 hours then flash fried in Peanut Oil for 60 sec. Really pleased with how they turned out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Injection Question

    Hey all! I am fixing to do my FIRST SMOKE EVER on my new self fabricated offset. I decided to go with wings as I assume the possible mistakes could be cheaper than other meats. I've been reading about these Buffalo Style Scarbelly wings and have decided to go that route by injecting. First...

    Progress Report

    Thanks everyone! Well, I had the smoker loaded up on a borrowed trailer to bring home Tuesday but the poor trailer wasn't instilling any confidence in its ability to NOT twist as I pushed on the smoker. Never got to weigh it but based on my pipe fitters book, I have right at 560 lbs in the PIPE...
