    Pulled Pork this Weekend Heavy QVIEW!

    Looks great; love the pile of meat right on the cutting board!  I don't know how many times I've questioned what the results might be due to cold weather or wind or whatever but that just goes to show if you have patience and stick with it the best you can it usually comes out great in the end.

    pulled pork and baby back ribs failure.

    Check out this video linked in this thread about using an ice bath for checking your thermometers.  It doesn't really help with the gauges in your smoker but if you check a digital one you can use it as a known good reference to compare readings with the mechanical ones in your smoker using...

    4 Chix on the Pit (Easter with SQWIB)

    I love your "kitchen" knife up there.  It looks like you had a good easter dinner.

    There is no such thing as too many smokers, if they get used.   :)

    Brisket In My MES

    lol, don't tell chef jimmy that.  ;)      "its the pitmaster not the pit"     I'll bet that two hour drive makes that brisket taste even better.

    "Accidental" great pulled pork!

    Hey that's great if it works for you, that's all that really matters however, in my experience, there is a difference.  I also find it interesting that people like Aaron Franklin don't use AMNPS trays in electric smokers or even commercial gas-fired cookers.

    Wanting to try a smoked ham

    Hahaha bearcarver, you are probably right but you get what I'm sayin' though right?

    "Accidental" great pulled pork!

    ...and that is the difference between a "real smoker" and an outdoor oven; i.e., electric and gas smokers.  Real smokers combine the heat and the smoke in a delicious medley that cannot be substituted.

    Wanting to try a smoked ham

    You could also call a few local butchers/meat markets and get an uncooked one.  Many of them will even cure it for you so you don't have to fool with it.  As a side note, I find it very odd that no one seems to mind reheating precooked hams but I've never heard of anyone "double smoking" a...

    all i got is oak, okay?

    Oak is a favorite wood of mine for all kinds of bbq and it blends really well with cherry wood if you want to fancy it up.

    Second try at smoked salmon, better, but not perfect

    I think you guys are way-over-complicating hot smoked salmon.  I use a simple marinade overnight because fish is delicate and will take on flavors easily, smoke at a consistent temperature between 180-210F because you cook unevenly when you change the temperature around a lot, remove from smoker...

    New Photo Browser Hangs

    I've had a much different experience using Safari on a mac than the mobile device.  And for some reason the Windows verison of Safari sucks too but the original mac version works great.

    Hey y'all, if anyone is around the central part of Oklahoma that new Chef's Store on I-240 has some great prices on meats and spices; perfect for barbequeing!

    Wetting Ribs?! What do you use and why?

    I do this to prep skinless chicken breasts for the grill, it gives them a nice looking color and leaves behind just a hint of that sweet muskiness.

    Wetting Ribs?! What do you use and why?

    I also do not use a binder for the rub.  I've never had any problems with a dry rub sticking to a moist piece of raw meat so I never understood why people did this in the first place.

    New Photo Browser Hangs

    Since the new photo browser went up on the site it hangs on my computer after it loads the first photo and when I try to exit back to a thread or switch to view additional photos.  I'm using Safari on a Mac so my guess would be its another buggy flash problem (yes, I have the latest version...

    Apple Juice Spraying Durations?

    I also agree with the non-spritzing crowd; just let that meat do its thing.
