    No more 225˚. I'm a convert.

    One other question. I read on another board that at this temp the sugar in rubs or sprays can burn. Is this something I need to be concerned with? I was going to use quite a bit of brown sugar in my rub and apple juice when I foil. Edit to add, I just did a search on this forum and it seems...

    Ok, I'm going to give this a try tomorrow. 3 racks of St. Louis style @ 275. I was thinking of 2-1-1, does that sound about right?

    2nd time smokin butts with Qview

    I like big butts and I cannot lie. Sorry, you know everybody was thinking it. Not that big, 4-5lbs if I remember correctly. BTW, they were a big hit at my wife's Bday party. I used just a little finishing sauce and put some Sweet Baby Rays and Stubbs original on the table. Most seemed to...

    2nd time smokin butts with Qview

    No it was a butt also. 1st attempt -  225 until IT of 195 2nd attempt -  240 until IT of 200 Not sure if that would make much difference or not. They both took 11-12 hours to cook.

    2nd time smokin butts with Qview

    Thanks. I'm not sure how much will be left over after tonights dinner but if there's enough, I've been dying to try some PP chili since I first heard about it. If not, I'll just smoke another one. Problem solved.

    2nd time smokin butts with Qview

    This is my 2nd attempt at PP. I'm using an electric MasterForge smoker btw. I smoked these yesterday for my wife's Bday dinner tonight. I decided to try these naked, no rub. I used a 50/50 combination of mesquite and apple and spritzed them every hour starting at about the 4 hour mark with a...

    Master Forge 33" Electric Smoker

    Wow that sucks G06WING. I've had mine since Father's day and so far it's worked just fine. It's smoking 2 butts right now. Knock on wood, I hope it lasts cause I don't have the money to buy another smoker.

    Fast and Hot Ribs by SQWIB

    Wow, thanks for the detailed post. My electric smoker won't get that hot by my grill can. I might have to give these a try.

    Another pork shoulder question.

    Well if I don't check in tomorrow with an update, you'll know.

    Another pork shoulder question.

    UH-OH!! It just dawned on me that I did not rinse these butts off before I put them in the smoker. I unwraped them from the stores wrapper and put them directly in the smoker. Do I need to be concerned at all? Edit to add - I never rinse steaks or pork chops before cooking so I'm thinking I'm ok.

    Another pork shoulder question.

    Sure, that makes sense. And if it works, who am I to argue. Thanks again

    Another pork shoulder question.

    Good morning to WA. I wish I was there. I'd read that mesquite is pretty powerful. Hopefully mixing it 50/50 with apple will mellow it out a bit. This is the 5th time I've used my smoker and so far I've always used cherry. I did notice the smell was quite a bit different this morning. 210 eh...

    Another pork shoulder question.

    My son just texted me. Smoker temp is 240, meat internal temp 144. It took the meat a little more than 3 hours to get to 144. A few questions. 1. Should he lower the temp of the smoker by a few degrees or is 240 ok? 2. He as going to refill the water pan since it was dry. Is that something we...

    Another pork shoulder question.

    Thanks for the replies. I put 2 naked Boston butts on at about 6:30am this morning. The thin blue line started just as I was leaving for work. They are now in the hands of my son. It's going to be a long day.

    Another pork shoulder question.

    Thanks. I'm probably over thinking it. These are being smoked tomorrow for my wife's BD on Tuesday. I have to work tomorrow so what I'm going to do is get the smoker going, add the wood, add the butts, then leave for work. In other words, the entire time that beautiful thin blue line...
