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...
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...
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
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.
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...
