    Up early to tackle this big butt.

    The foil method seems interesting, How was your bark afterwards? I heard foiling hinders the bark. If so, do you think that once you unfoil you can throw it back on the smoker , or some other high heat to harden that bark back up?

    Up early to tackle this big butt.

    Well I think I hit the stall, I have been sitting at 171/172 for a good minute now. I was hoping that i blasted through the plateau. Of course spritzing it is only making it take longer i believe. From what I have read , the stall is the butt basically sweating.

    Oh No, another "newbie"

    Welcome to the republic of Texas. I think the most important advice I have learned as a newbie myself, is to be very patient. When I first started smoking, I was like a kid before christmas trying to sneak some peeks. The more you open, the longer it will take. Of course this is coming from a...

    Up early to tackle this big butt.

    I'm more of a sailor Jerrys type of guy , but you are right...it wouldn't make it to the butt lol. Many people talk about the stall...and I have gotten that with my brisket, but i jumped straight through the 150s with no stalling. Is a plateau on a butt a different temperature?

    Up early to tackle this big butt.

    That helps a lot, I did a 2:1 of apple juice and some orange juice, thought the slight citrus taste would compliment the flavors. I have used wood throughout a smoke before, and I didn't have great results according to my wife. I'm not sure if she just doesn't like the taste too much, or it was...

    Up early to tackle this big butt.

    well hopefully reaching 205 won't be too late tonight. It hit the grate at 5 its a little under 10 pounds, hopefully itll be done before midnight haha. I didn't know 140 in 4 was a golden rule, makes me feel a little better about it. I cooked it fat side down, I know its a split decision on fat...

    Decals/stickers

    Hi Before I possibly make a mistake I was wondering if it's alright to put just a regular sticker on a smoker, or do I need a specific heat resistant type?

    Up early to tackle this big butt.

    I used a rub from walmart, forgot the name. It is a name brand pork rub. The main ingredient is chili powder. I also used the peppercorn grinder on the middle setting , so the pepper is a little bit bigger. I wanted something that had a little kick to it, since the apple juice will be sweet. I...

    My first UDS

    Well , this UDS has been a learning experience for me to say the least. There are a few issues that I will just live with. I didn't double check how level my holes were for the spots that hold the grate..it is a little lopsided but not too much. The 3/4'' pipe is a little slanted for the air...

    Up early to tackle this big butt.

    Well I made the rookie mistake of grabbing the biggest piece of meat I could find at wallyworld. I have a 10 pound , probably a 9.5 after trimming pork butt. This thing is going to be a pain in the butt to smoke haha. I also have some country style ribs I'll throw on later on. Any advice on a...
