I've never done chops but I am sure you will need to tell us what temp you plan to run the smoker for the butt. Also, I'm sure one of the answers will be "until you reach IT of 140 - 150". I smoked tenderloins recently and they were ~1.5" in diameter, they took ~2.5 hours at 275.
"Let it rest overnite and reheated it in the oven at 350F for 35mins"
I do this all the time, cook ahead of time and reheat whole in the oven. I usually reheat at ~325 for a little longer while wrapped in Foil in Al Pan. Great for times when you have to travel to family like Thanksgiving and...
I was raised cooking whole hogs and we always went by the skin press and the shoulder bone pull test. If the skin was not attached and the shoulder bone wiggled, we where ready. I am an engineer and all these digital thermometers are screwing with me. Need to get back to the basics and go with...
What part of the butt do you probe for IT? I find temps varying all over the place depending on where I insert the probe. On top of bone, under bone, in the meaty end away from the bone...... It used to be so easy when I just cooked at temp and pulled at hours based on the look of the pull back...
Anybody found somewhere to get replacement grates? I thought about going to stainless steel, but I can't even find an outlet to get the regular grates.
I've had mine for two seasons now. For the price, I don't think you can beat it. I didn't make any mods such as sealing doors, etc. I can get it up to ~300 easily for higher temps and it holds pretty well at other temps. I do have mine in a side enclosed area so not a problem with wind/heat...
Cooking on Tuesday and serving on Sunday is pushing the refrigerator option. If you have a vacuum sealer, I would seal it whole and refrigerate until Sunday, reheat in oven at 250 for ~2.5 hours @ 250- 275 wrapped in foil or in a pan sealed with foil. Then pull for the final presentation. If no...
Dittos to that^^^^^. I do this all the time. After it cools down some, wrap in Aluminum Foil while still whole and refrigerate. Reheat in oven, either in the same foil or remove and put in a foil covered pan to reheat. You will not be able to tell between fresh off the smoker or a day old. Plus...
Dave, I'm sure you already did something with them, but here's something to think about for next year. What I did with most of my jalapenos this year was make hot sauce, as all the ones I pickled last year are still here... I slice the peppers and cook them in a pot with some vinegar and a few...
X2 - Always did mine at ~275 on the grill until I got the smoker. Read all over here about cooking at 225. so I tried that the first couple of times. After having to go 16 hours one time with no difference in the flavor and texture of the meat, I'm back to 275 and even bumping up to 300 to...
About the simple way, leave a 3/4 bottle red wine in a warm place several weeks, do you leave the battle open or closed? I like red wine but only in small amounts and I always end up with a 1/2 bottle left over....
Thanks for the explanation Bear. That's the way I do it with pork, don't mess with it til almost done. I hope to try my first Prime Rib soon and will be trying to match your method.
