    Smoked butt fail

    While at the store the other day, I strolled through the meat department to see what they had out. I was noodling the idea to purchase a fresh turkey breast to smoke to redeem myself from the failure last weekend. As I was walking past the pork section, I saw a small, two pound butt and...

    Hi, I have been lurking around this site for a week or so, and posted about a recent pork butt failure. I appreciate all of the feedback, I look forward to reading about everyone's experiences and learning from this site. I currently live in Kansas City, which is kind of ironic since KC is...

    Smoked butt fail

    No, that ash came from the coal basket that sits just above the heat deflector.  I did not completely clean out the grill before using it. I have been reading a lot on temps and thermometers.  A few responses to my original post said that the temps were probably not high enough even though the...

    Smoked butt fail

    It was a boneless butt, wrapped in butchers string. Once I brought it inside around 6pm, I cut the butt in half and it was pretty much raw in the middle. I finished it off in the oven at 350 for about 2 hours, and will eat it another day. I am just disappointed that it did not work out. But I...

    Smoked butt fail

    Well, a day long smoke and nothing to show for it .....  :( I lit a chimney full of coals this morning around 8am and then prepped the smoker (filled the offset with charcoal, filled a pan with water and placed it under the rack in the grill portion, etc), I then dumped the lit chimney into the...
