    A prayer for my father.

    For me finding a place by myself for a good ole blubbering cry was a big help. Gets it all out so you can console others. Still tear up at times when I think of them.

    Brisket to Wrap or Not to Wrap that is the question?

    So finished my cook, with no wrap. Got the bark that I was looking for; taste and texture was awesome! However, took a longer time, as pointed out above (pulled it after 15 hours). Next I'll do a butcher paper wrap, then a no-wrap at high temps (just read a post about that method) . Funny...

    Brisket to Wrap or Not to Wrap that is the question?

    I've had reasonable success with my briskets by smoking until 165; then foil wrapping until reaching 200-ish.

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    That ship has already sailed.  This post is what's known as a "sticky" post.  So good and informative that it ain't going no where.  It's basically the primer for people smoking their butts and comparing notes.

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    I'm by no means an expert, but I believe for safety's sake you need to get to 140 within 4 hours.  Beyond that, I don't think that there is too much time in the smoker as long as texture and taste are to your liking.  The amount of smoke is extremely subjective as well.  I've learned that with...

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    Followed your procedure...mostly.  The pulled pork came out most excellent. Used mesquite, would have preferred hickory, but that's all I had left.  Had to share a pict.
