    17-1/2 hour butt

    Ok Guys, I'm a nubee -- how do you "defat" the juices? I think one reason it took so long was that I had the water pan AND above that a drip pan to catch the juices. That seems to keep the "direct" heat from hitting the meat -- whatcha think??

    Butt Question

    For you Pulled Gurus: I've got a 9 pounder to smoke for pulled, but am gonna be really pressed for time. Would cutting it in half and smoking as two pieces affect the flavor/texture/tenderness? How much fat should be trimmed off? Thanks, jdr37 in Florida

    First Time Fatty

    Well Goddess, I do apologize for not visually exposing my handiwork, but being so busy doing absolutely nothing in my retired mode has made it difficult for me to find the time to shoot 'em, load 'em, ect., BUT I will learn how to do that here on this great site for future reference. Dave

    First Time Fatty

    Well, today I jumped in there and did it -- two fatties at one time, the first I've ever tried (hadn't even heard of them until I met you guys a few days ago!). One was a Mexican, but since there ain't no Choroizo sausage chubs around here to be had I had to make my own (found a recipe on...
