    Quick Math Help on Pork Butt

    Think I should start at Midnight? That would be feasible.  I'd be really tired but it'd be feasible.

    Quick Math Help on Pork Butt

    Thanks guys!  I'll let you know how it goes.  I'm planning on throwing it in the oven once I foil it since other people are bringing the delicious sides so I can go take a nap. Then I'll post pics I forgot to mention my Pork Butt is boneless, does that affect anything? If its anything like...

    Quick Math Help on Pork Butt

    no I had looked at the sticky and it said to assume 1.5 hours per pound.  I just wanted to make sure I was giving enough leeway and was on the right track

    Quick Math Help on Pork Butt

    So, I have about a 7.5 lb pork butt (I already made all the obligatory butt jokes so I'm covered there) and its been rubbed and wrapped according to the sticky post about making pulled pork.  Now saying I want to eat tomorrow at 5ish and allowing a bit of leeway in the way of it cooking oddly. ...

    Poor Ribs

    I had a question about how close to being cooked through the ribs should be when I put them in the foil. I hadn't read anything (I have have and I just forgot or didn't realize what I saw) and when I had made mine over the weekend they looked pretty close to cooked through in my opinion...

    Can I get an answer on "done-ness" when I'm about to foil up my ribs?

    Poor Ribs

    I have an "after market" thermometer.  It's not a great one but its one I've tested and it only runs about 5 degrees cooler.

    Poor Ribs

    I removed the membrane and a few of the super duper thick parts (still smoked em but treated em like separate pieces of meat) Also the thermometer I have runs a bit cold (when I boiled in water it said 207 instead of 212 and I am only about 500 feet above sea level and it was a clear day) So...

    Poor Ribs

    So, I smoked some ribs today attempting the 3-2-1 method. They turned out pretty poor I must say.  They were way overdone somehow. I am 99% sure I followed the directions implicitly but let me know if I did something wrong. Took my pack of Spare Ribs (full slab) and trimmed off the excess...

    Dead Maple in back yard

    It's been a while since I've smoked so I'm going to go ahead and try this weekend (been rainy and cold in Michigan).  I'll attempt to get a couple handfuls of chips to try on some boneless chicken just to see what kind of flavor I get out of the wood. I'll let you know how it turns out

    It's Jerky Time!

    I'm not cold smoking or anything so I'm not sure how concerned I should be about it.  Last time my somewhat inaccurate thermo on my smoker said it was around 180 and the jerky came out good. Most of the recipes I have don't call for cure, so should I just substitute it for the salt?

    It's Jerky Time!

    I'm going to be a jerky making machine these next couple weeks.  I'm going to try a few different recipe's since I'll probably end up doing 4 or 5 batches.  It will all be Venison based since beef is expensive and I have half a white tail and most of a mule deer in the deep freeze.  Anyone ever...

    Dead Maple in back yard

    It died over 2 years ago so it shouldn't be too wet

    Dead Maple in back yard

    my sister said it didn't die from rot, its root system just choked itself because it was about 4 feet away from a cement patio that was meant to be a foundation or some-such.  Anyways, thanks for all your help!

    Dead Maple in back yard

    My sister says it was a "sunset maple".  I don't know anything about trees so hopefully one of you kind folks can help me out! Thanks for the assistance already given

    Dead Maple in back yard

    Season it?  Let it sit I'm guessing? Also, I have an electric smoker, any clues as to how to either make sawdust or chip it?  I might have access to a band saw I could cut it into small bits with, otherwise I have no idea what to do.

    Dead Maple in back yard

    It's been sitting in their back yard dead for a couple of years now.  It should be very dry.  Didn't know if it dying on its own would affect it badly in any way

    Dead Maple in back yard

    So, my sister and brother in-law have had a dead maple (huge old tree) in their back yard and they just took it down. Would it be good for smoking?
