    New to smoking

    WelcomeSmoker 69! I am new to 'que as well and did my 1st smoke yesterday. I have a 34" lanmann smokey mountain propane smoker. I decided on doing a 6.5lb boston butt for my cherry popper and it came out AMAZINGLY. I would recommend doing one of those but plan on it taking a while. I started...

    Popping the smoking cherry with a Boston Butt!

    So I didn't get to let it rest for as long as I had wanted to (only 1 hour) but I pulled it and left it plain. I made a finishing sauce for people to use (cider vinegar/brown sugar/Cajun spices/red pepper flakes) and also left out a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's (cheating I know, but the best...

    Popping the smoking cherry with a Boston Butt!

    Good advice Wood River BBQ, I might either smoke it the day before or start it at 1am or 2am and give myself plenty of time to wait out a stubborn Boston butt and never ending stall.

    Popping the smoking cherry with a Boston Butt!

    I gave in and wrapped it and threw it back in the smoker until 200 degrees, sigh. I'll throw it in the cooler until we're about to eat. I'll take it out right before we eat, pull it and let people sauce it as they see fit.

    Popping the smoking cherry with a Boston Butt!

    Hell yeah Smokin Monkey! Was that your first time ever smoking anything or just first time smoking a Boston Butt? Either way, it looks delicious buddy, hope mine looks half as good as yours :-)

    Popping the smoking cherry with a Boston Butt!

    From when I posted @ 1pm, the IT was 150. It's 3:22pm currently and IT is holding steady @ 160 exactly. I wanted to wrap the Boston butt for at least 2 hours and be ready to pull it and sauce it by dinner time (around 6pm), but the way things are going that isn't going to happen. Being that...

    Popping the smoking cherry with a Boston Butt!

    Thanks for the positive feedback guys! I know I'm not supposed to open the smoker except for when I need to add more wood chips or water but I had to take pics to get your thoughts & opinions! http://s1187.photobucket.com/user/Gaffney982/media/20140629_133042_zpsadd4908d.jpg.html...

    Popping the smoking cherry with a Boston Butt!

    So I'm diving into the smoking world and got a 34" Smokey Mountain gas smoker for cheap on craigslist. I bought a 6.5lb bone-in boston butt and put a rub on it last night and wrapped it. I took it out at 6am and put it in at 7am. It's 1:06pm and it's still at 155 degrees. I'm smoking it at 250...

    First attempt at a boston butt

    That's exactly what I'm doing Hambone! I just picked up a Landmann 34" gas smoker and for my first attempt at smoking, I'm doing a 6.5LB boston butt which I started this morning @ 7am! Hopefully it turns out as delicious looking as our friend jleeman's pulled pork :-)

    New to "Que"

    Now that I think of it, what's the best way to clean up this smoker and get it ready for it's first outing? I know you're supposed to apply a light layer of vegetable oil on the inside after every use and cleaning, but how do I clean it first?

    New to "Que"

    Hell no, everything is so damn expensive these days! Luckily enough I chopped down about 6 apple trees on my property (still have a dozen more, don't worry) last year and I have plenty of wood chips to start me off! I was thinking of starting off with (following the advice of some awesome forum...

    Best Place To Buy Meats - Northwest Connecticut

    I'll drive anywhere I need to if the prices are better than Watertown Meat Center or Antonelli's! Thanks for the sppedy replies and helpful suggestions geerock. I wholeheartedly appreciate it. Makes me think of the movie Field of Dreams but with 'que. "If you smoke it, they will come" lol

    Best Place To Buy Meats - Northwest Connecticut

    Thanks geerock! Glad to be here, for sure. My wife doesn't have the passion that I do about smoked meats so hopefully I can do it well enough where she develops a love for it too. I know that Antonelli's is more expensive and so is Watertown Meat Center but I have yet to try the Litchfield Locker.
