    Help... smoking newbie

     Dad,  The way I smoke ribs is I use the 3-2-1 method for home and the 2- 2 1/2- 1 1/2  at competitions.  When time to foil I like to use brown sugar, honey, and tiger sauce on it.  When time to place back on the grill I put pepper jelly and apple jelly on them and grill them for the remainder...

    Brisket Smoking

     I usually smoke it fat side down.  There is enough fat in the brisket that will render and keep it moist.  I smoke it at around 225-250 for about 10-12 hours.  After the first 2 hours are gone by I start to mop it with a coffee, bourbon, and vinagar mop.  Then the last hour I wrap it in foil...

    Thanksgiving Butts w/Qview

    McGray, I cook my butts for around 4-5 hours then wrap them.  I do this cause it speeds up the cooking time and don't want to dry out the meat.  Now if you wrap it to soon, it won't have that crunch bark.  Wrapping it will still soften it a little.  But, some cook at 225-250 and keep the butts...
