    HELP! It's 10:40 a.m. What Can I Smoke? UPDATED with Q-View!

    I have had great success without brining, rubbing or sitting, just a little SPOG and let the meat and smoke flavor speak for itself.

    Picnic cut shoulder questions

    Well...it was about the consistency of ham. I chopped it and served it on sandwiches. It didn't have quite the smoky flavor everything else I've smoked has.

    can our smoked tri-tip be saved?

    Mine took 2 hours at 230 deg to get to 140 (med rare). I would check your thermometer. For 8 hours at 250* it should probably be close to 210 or over...fine for pulled pork, but charcoal far a good cut of tri! Or maybe your smoker temps are off and it was a lot under 250*.

    3rd smoke ever...1st tri-tip

    Being from Santa Maria, CA (home to Tri-tip grilling known locally as "Santa Maria Style BBQ) I have grilled many Tri's indirectly on a gas grill. The locals say it isn't proper since it's not over Red Oak coals on high heat. I'll try to post some pictures A little SPOG is all it needs In...
