    Learning the Smoking Ropes in MN

    Hey Troy, thanks for the welcome! I had no idea about Duff's. I have won meat from the meatshop on the way to Rochester from the AV Legion. Glad something is closer. Hard to find specialty cuts of meat. Does Diff's take preorders, for instance, if I need a leg of lamb? Those are impossible...

    FINISHING SAUCE (for Pulled Pork)

    I am doing a pulled pork for the first time this weekend.  I want to try this finishing sauce, but we don't have that brand of cajun seasoning here.  What can I substitute?

    Diving into the Butt

    Thanks for the ideas - I like storing in crock and then reheating... same with vacusealer.  I do have one of those.   I have seen mention of using the drippings, putting in fridge for fat to go to top and harden and remove.. is that used as a substitute for BBQ sauce?  I also found the...

    Diving into the Butt

    This is what I am worried about.  I don't want people having to wait since I'm a newbie at this.  I'd rather have it done, pulled and reheating when people arrive.

    Diving into the Butt

    New to smoking.  First smoke was a pork butt for my husband and I.  Second was at a friend's house... yes, took the smoker... and did Sweet and Spicy Chicken wings which were a HUGE hit.   I am having a Canada Day Party on Sunday.   I have 13 people coming over and will be attempting pulled...

    Looking to start smoking in Alberta

    Another Canadian here, live in the US, but from Calgary.  Glad you weren't affected by the floods!  Many of my friends have been displaced.  I haven't had my smoking disaster yet.  I'm sure it's coming!

    Learning the Smoking Ropes in MN

    I am Cathy, live in MN and new to smoking.  I have always wanted to order the MES from QVC, but never did until my husband said he wanted to give it a try.   Our Maiden smoking Voyage was a pork butt from Dadgum II... the one with the rub and mustard.  It was very tasty!  The 2nd attempt was...

    New to Smoking ... Learning curve with smoker

    Hi Danny, Thanks for the tip.  I hear you on the chicken.  Actually, the lower 2 racks were seasoned with a hot rub and the top had little to no rub for those who have no taste whatsoever ;), so it looks like they were different cooked temps, but they really weren't.  All went on at the same...

    Thank so much for the welcome and advice, Stan!   We definitely need something for the drippage.  It is a pain to clean that bottom every time.  I don't mind the sides, and as I have read, it keeps the smoker seasoned, but the bottom and in summer months, I would think it would attract critters...

    One other thing.. there was fluid coming out of the front legs.  I don't know if it was just condensation or something wrong?  Is that normal?

    New to Smoking ... Learning curve with smoker

    We bought the Masterbuilt 3 Rack electric smoker from QVC a few weeks ago.  Our first endeavour was a pork Butt from Dadgum II and it turned out great - the one rubbed in mustard.  We have found quite the learning curve with the smoker in terms of time to cook, heating, temperature gauge etc.  ...
