    Can I rest the pork in liquid overnight?

    I've read a long rest at temp is really good for meat. Open to hearing other's opinion though

    Can I rest the pork in liquid overnight?

    Well I'm going to smoke a pork tomorrow evening but will not eat it until Friday. The last bit of the smoke I do the butt in a shallow pan of apple juice and it's own fat sweat. Will I be ok letting it sit in the oven on warm overnight with aluminum foil covering it?

    Having to cook 1 Brisket and 2 Pork Butts in 1 day...Need some guidance here

    I will try that. Work is buying the meet and we are smack in the middle of an audit yesterday and today so the meat will probably not be purchased until tomorrow. What about if the Butts are too close to the fire box, a heat blocker? On a side note I got a boneless Boston Butt for the wife and...

    What should I do? First time smoking and no probe!

    Well I have an instant read thermometer that I can check the meat with. I was more concerned about keeping the internal temp of the smoker at a correct level.

    What should I do? First time smoking and no probe!

    So I made a thread about I just got a thin COS. I ordered a Inkbird IRF-4S but it will not be here until May! I have to cook a Butt and Brisket in 3 days! The smoker has a thermometer on the lid of the grill but that will be all I have to use. What should I do now???? Only other option I could...

    Should I smoke a while Chicken?

    Just going for how it taste. Full disclosure I've been entered in a BBQ competition for a whole manufacturing plant and want to be respectful for the people that can't or won't eat Pork as I know a lot of people (here at least) don't. I'm not much of a chicken person myself so I have no...

    Just bought first offset smoker to learn on! Help me fix it...She's a cheap one

    Well I cleaned it with soap and dawn inside and out, used leaf blower to dry it, and wiped it over with a light coat of vegetable oil. I'm looking on the bright side and have decided to embrace this finely crafted Chinese masterpiece as a learning tool. Took a whole 8lb bag of Kingsford...

    Are dried spices dried spices?

    No I'm mainly asking for non BBQ cooking. How on earth do you grind your own? Where do you get your dried bases?

    Are dried spices dried spices?

    I'll be honest I've been guilty for a long time of buying the cheapest (often times Great Value) spices possible. But I have always wondered...Are all dried spices equal? Is $2.00 Great Value Oregano or Smoked Paprika just as good as $9 Fresh Market equal?

    Just bought first offset smoker to learn on! Help me fix it...She's a cheap one

    I just balled up a few pieces of paper, lit them on fire, and closed off all vents. I hadn't thought of the heat and draft. Is it worth closing up these leaks? I have the LavaLock strips and squirt out stuff at home. Amazingly you are right, 0 leaks from the firebox.
