Didn't get a chance to post my q-view yesterday because our guests arrived and things got hectic. I also didn't get a pic after pulling all the shoulder because people started eating it immediately. It was a huge hit. 2 shoulders totaling 14 lbs. I used a store bought Kansas City style rub...
Temp hit 196 while I was mowing the viewing and launching spot for fireworks tonight in the back field. Pulled them off and popped em in a cooler with towels. We'll be eating in about 3 hours. Will grab some Q-view when I take it out to pull. Thanks for everyone's support through the night.
There's a grate in the bottom of the firebox, but it's started sagging. I'm going to look for a better quality one. Plus this is my longest smoke yet, so there's a lot more ash. I'm getting a metal bucket today so next time I can scrape out some of the ash during the smoke.
I caught about an hour and a half nap at 9:30. I'm on the home stretch right now. Sitting at 180, but my fire is staying closer to 200 than 225. I've got so much ash in my firebox, I think it's keeping my charcoal from burning hot enough.
Why did I look at this? Now I'm going to have to do this and I'm regretting not doing it for my current smoke. Perfect for my anal retentive personality.
It's 4:44 am and I'm sitting at 149 degrees for one of the shoulders. The other is pretty close (only checked it twice since I only have 1 remote and it's always been right at the same as my remote). I set my alarm for every hour or so, thinking I could take some cat naps through the night...
Thanks. That was one of those questions that as I was typing it, I realized the answer. I foiled last time, but am not going to this time. The bark is my favorite part. We're planning on eating around 3 or 4 tomorrow, so I'm actually going to throw it on tonight around 8 or 9. I'd rather it...
Having a group of people over for the 4th and I'm smoking 2 pork shoulders. They total 14+ lbs, so about 7 lbs a piece. This may be a stupid question and I think I know the answer, but should I plan on the smoking time being the same as smoking one 7 lbs shoulder or based on the total 14 lbs...
Man, those were some good ribs. Not quite as tender as I wanted. Got 'em up to 170 degrees and everything else was done, so we had to eat.
Some Q-View
Nice smoke ring
Side items that are going on the grill in about 30 minutes. Onions; red, yellow and orange bell peppers; snap peas; and pineapple to be grilled in our grill wok. Below is corn on the cob, now brushed with EVOO and salt and peppered, wrapped in foil. My wife is also grilling some chicken we...
