    1st pork belly!

    Think I know why.. I did the snake method but only with about 20 coals to start and I put them right on the edge so the others aren’t lighting fast enough.. I decided to stir them around and do the minion instead

    1st pork belly!

    Found a 3.5lb pork belly slab in my freezer so decided to try it out today. Running a tad behind but I think I can make up the time. Gonna run it at 225-250 until she is tender throughout and have it on rolls.

    12lb brisket cut or not?

    The flat is at 198 little tough still, should I wrap it and let it rest for a few hours? Should I pull the point off and leave it on the smoker? Seems pretty fatty still

    12lb brisket cut or not?

    12lb brisket cut or not?

    Update woke up to my probe grate temp at 277... went outside the dome read 225... so I closed down the vents to less then the width of a pencil... hopefully it hasn’t started the brisket too quickly.. I don’t have a meat probe in it yet because I know it needs to go..

    12lb brisket cut or not?

    Getting ready to put the beast on, I’m thinking 12lb starting at 3am should give it plenty of time to do its thing and be ready around 6pm.. I’m going to shoot between 225 and 250... starting around 225 so I can go back to bed.

    Corned beef point

    I soaked it for 3 days... the color came through after all. The IT was like 203 when I pulled it and let it set for 1hr in a cooler wrapped in blankets. It was tender but dry.. not sure if I like corned beef, the Mrs doesn’t but she ate 3 slices with BBQ sauce. Live and learn

    What should i smoke?

    Smoked both the pork roast and rack of ribs and they came out pretty good. The roast was a bit dry but flavorful, the ribs were tender but over tender but the bbq sauce I decided to use tasted like burnt bbq beans... but my wife and friend both enjoyed the food.

    What should i smoke?

    So I found about a 3lb pork loin in my freezer and a rack of babyback ribs! Think I’ll be doing both. Cook at 250 with apple wood and maybe a chunk of hickory. Should I start the ribs like 2hrs before and then add the road ?

    What should i smoke?

    I have a rack of ribs in my freezer and some pork tenderloins now that I think about it. Didn’t know if ribs would cook in that time but sounds like at 250 it will! Maybe I’ll get a couple more racks too
