    PLEEEASE HELP! pork shoulder

    I'm with Placebo, you might have some trouble getting your temps up with that many butts. I can tell a big difference between smoking one butt and two or three in my smoker (I have a smaller upright) in holding temps. Also make sure when you unwrap those puppys that you do it in a pan where...

    Keeping wood for the long haul

    Larry, I just got into smoking this year and my dad had some hickory and oak in his firewood pile that I uh...borrowed and it had been sitting outside for 2 or 3 years and it's still hard and works great. A lot of the pieces that I got were short and that was nice since I need smaller pieces...

    I'M a newbie AND NEED SOME HELP WITH BRINING

    I know you all are getting tired of hearing about spatchcocking but that really makes the bird take up alot less room. It also is easier to get to the inside of the bird to wash it, cooks faster, makes it easier to get the bird into one of those ziplock bags for brining, and for some smokers...

    turkey moisture

    I have good luck with higher temps. Read before that low fat meats (poultry) should be cooked faster to keep them from drying out. Seems to work for me. Keeps the skin crispy too.

    turkey brine

    I asked that same question on this forum about a month ago and Tip came to the rescue with his recipe and it worked out great! Best yard bird I ever had. I did sub apple juice for water though (it was cheap). Injected with the brine and soaked for 2 days. (Didn't mean to soak it that long...

    Turkey Times

    I've only done one turkey however it came out great. One of the things that I read on some forum was meats and poultry were better smoked hotter because there wasn't much fat to break down. I smoked at 325-350 after brining in apple juice for two days and spatchcocked it and it only took about...

    Cutlery questions

    Hey Travcoman45, if the clever don't work you can always pop em with your carry piece! I've got a set of Cutco however my 8 inch chef's knife doesn't stay sharp all that long. I'm pretty good at sharpening knives and I agree you can put a pretty good edge on most knives however it would be nice...

    charcoal

    It's my understanding (think that I read it here) that Royal Oak is going out of business. Is that right? I've been trying to buy a bag of RO every time I go to Wally world because we don't have many choices for lump here in Kansas. The other choice is Cowboy and I haven't read many good...

    What are you smoking this Thanksgiving

    I'm going to do two turkeys, I think. I'll brine them with a recipe I got here on this forum and I'll spatchcock them and cook at 350 indirect and they will only take about two to three hours.

    Whats on the Menu for the Weekend?

    Looks like our weather is going to be ok, not great. I bought two butts gonna smoke one for pullin' and curing one (Thanks for the help Ronp) and see how it turns out. I can't eat any of it, though thanks to a bad gall bladder. I'm on chicken and turkey. Pork is for my dad (turns 79 next week).

    Curing your butt?

    Thanks Ronp, thats what I was looking for. I'll let you know how it turns out. I've two butts, got one curing now and will do the other one for pulling.

    Curing your butt?

    I was wondering, has anyone here ever tried using Morton's Tender Quick on Pork Butts? I can buy butts for .89 cents a lb. and would like to see if it taste like ham. Getting ready for Thanksgiving and practicing on different meats. If this works then do I brine it with the Tender Quick or...

    Thinking about a new smoker.. Suggestions?

    If you want to look at something that uses lump or charcoal you might look at Weber Smokey Mountain. All the reviews are really good and they seem to hold temp well even in the colder weather. And the 22" one sells for right around $400 or a little less on ebay.

    What do you do about smoking in Winter?

    I started with a Brinkman but knew there was no way to smoke in the winter so I bought a insulated BWS and so far so good. The coldest weather that I have smoked in this year was in the 40s, though. Worst thing about the cold for me is I don't want to sit outside and drink cold PBRs. Still...

    Winter time!

    Looks like a good reason to trade up or just get another smoker. Boys can't have too many toys!
