    Quick question about pork

    Well, its 11am and we are 4 hours into the cook. I just checked the meat and its chugging along at 160 F now. I havent mopped yet but i noticed around the top vent moisture is collecting so im assuming its plenty moist in the smoker. Ill try and post pics when done

    Beautiful saturday!

    Here it is, the finished product. Turned out pretty good if i do say so myself. I used a rub if mainly brown sugar, salt and pepper and it got a pretty good bark on it. I didnt wrap it the foil is just so i didnt crap up the pan, lol

    Need help picking out a new smoker

    I think im going to go with the WSM, hopefully i will be able to get a 22.5. The only problem i see with it is i will have to buy gaskets to seal the front door better. But overall for the money it seems the better smoker. Thanks for yoir opinions

    Need help picking out a new smoker

    Hey, I was shopping around for a new smoker and I have narrowed it down to two.  The Weber Smokey Mountain or the Pit Barrel Cooker.  Has anyone used either of these? If so can you please let me know how they worked?  Im trying to decide on one or the other.  Thanks!

    Pulled pork

    I want to get a new smoker, charcoal preferrably. Any suggestions?

    Pulled pork

    Yeah, theres the only problem, i have one of those cheap kingsford water smokers, so the actual fire doesnt have a damper, only one on top of the smoker itself. I could leave the door cracked but i lose heat that way.
