    opinion needed: what temp to smoke pork butt?

    I concur with what most are saying.  I usually smoke the pork butts at around 250-275  and will take off around 195-200 and let it rest in the cooler.  I've always had it come out tender (bone comes clean out) with this method.  Sometimes it also depends on the maker of the butts and the way...

    My competition ribs need advice!

     It is funny how taste change.  I remember about 5 years ago judges liked really savory ribs.  Then they started liking just dry ribs.  Now I hear they want sweet ribs.  Very funny how the taste change.

    My competition ribs need advice!

     Never thought that before!  We taste the ribs, and seem alright with the consistency.  We put all the jellies in a pot with the candy sauce and melt it down into a liquid before we brush it on.   Never thought that before.   Thanks for all the advice.

    My competition ribs need advice!

     Thanks, for all the advice.  I do agree maybe to sweet but, that's what some of the teams were doing was turning in sweet like candy ribs.   The apperance was score ok, the tenderness was too.  The taste was low.  I have gone off what other teams were doing.  I was using the jelly mixture cause...
