Never thought to pull the backbone...good idea! Better smoke permeation?
As for wood choice, I used a mesquite & hickory mix & it turned out delicious.
I typically do a 9-10lb butt for ~12-13 hrs @ 215-250 cabinet temp. I take it off when it hits ~195-200, rest it for about 30mins in a sealed tupperware and the bone pulls right out. No issues yet. I agree with the comment made about the bricks. More water = more betterer!
Looked good though!
Mine has two doors (one for smoke chamber & one for chips & water) so recovery really isn't an issue unless it comes time to check the temp. Which that can be eliminated with the use of leave-in temp probes. I don't really have issues regulating it either. It usually gets up to temp & stays...
I think the important questions would be how big are the roasts & are they with or without bone? I typically do a 9-10lb butt, bone in for 12-13hrs, tops. Not to say that it can't take longer, but that's when they usually hit 195-200.
I've been a long time lurker, soaking up as much knowledge from you guys as possible & I figured it was time for me to start contributing. I can't contribute without properly introducing myself now, can I?
Well, I just started smoking about a year ago. Started with the foil packs on my gas...
I've been meaning to post this for quite some time now, but, with the hustle & bustle of the holidays, have been behind. Prior to Thanksgiving, my wife and I were very undecided on how we might cook our bird and, seeing as we were having guests in from out of town, we wanted to make it special...
I have an entry level Brinkman gasser from Home Depot ($150) that has been working great. What I like about it over the GOSMS is that it has two doors rather than one. That way you're not letting your heat & smoke out when refilling your chip pan. But in either case, good luck!
