    How do you smoke bacon?

    Ok, the end product is bacon but how do you smoke a pork belly? Is this even possible in an offset smoker? I can't fathom trying to manage the fire and keep the temperature that low. So how are you guys doing it? Does it require an electric pellet smoker?

    Critique my only method I've used for Boston butt smoking

    I feel I'm doing something wrong here...But let me say I'm not stating my finished product taste bad. I just want to hear opinions. So the main things I want opinions on is this: I smoke my meat on the rack but under it I have a drip tray with about 3 cups of Apple juice. I spritz the meat...

    Should I stop spritzing my butts?

    I guess my thing is I don't know if I need to or not. Maybe I should ask if my method is right or wrong.

    Should I stop spritzing my butts?

    I've always spritzed them with apple juice every 30 minutes and someone here suggested apple juice and apple cider vinegar 50/50. No complaints but I'm wondering if I should not spritz it at all? What is the benefits either way?

    Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is the best rub...Change my mind

    I've tried a lot of recipe rubs for pulled pork and all turned out to where I felt the rub took away from the meat. Since then I tried only salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. The outcome was much more traditional and just good pulled pork. Plus I prefer my BBQ sauce to complement the nice smoked...

    I might have found my problem. Bad wood?

    Well last time I did any smoking it was a Chuck Roast. I used apple wood. Well I only smoked it for a few hours and went to the oven. Well it came out tasting HORRIBLE! The flavor was just such a strong smoke flavor, even worse than dirty white smoke. I chalked it up to beef vs pork as this was...

    Been smoking pork butt for 3.5 hours...How would you finish it for dinner tonight?

    Well I took her temperature about 30 minutes ago and it was at 120 degrees. I need this thing pulled and ready to eat by 5pm. When would you pull it off, wrap it, and put it in the oven? And what temp should I put the oven at for a finish time around 5pm?

    What the heck happened? First chuck roast turned out badly

    I don't fully understand this. There was quite a bit of struggling to keep clean smoke. My wood kept going out. I don't understand "not so much a fire". A coal bed wouldn't have kept my temps high enough

    What the heck happened? First chuck roast turned out badly

    What the heck happened? First chuck roast turned out badly

    Well I've done 2 Boston butt pulled porks and the last one came out outstanding! So I had a very high bravery that my chuck roast would come out equally as good. I only smoked this chuck roast for 4 hours. There was a big stall at 145 degrees and I was running low on apple wood so I decided to...
