    First Impression: Smokin-It Model 2D

    Hmm. I put 16 pounds of pork shoulder in the smoker and set the temp to 230.  In about a half hour it's up to 200, which took close to 2 hours when I did the chicken over the weekend.  I wonder if some of the chicken was touching the interior heat sensor? That's by far the most irritating...

    So cooking temp only really applies on a long smoke?

    Where do you buy your meat?

    I've been buying pork butt at a local Amish market @$3.49/lb, I'm thinking there has to be better pricing somewhere. Chicken is pretty cheap, but I haven't seen brisket in awhile. I'm in the western Philly suburbs. Help!

    How do keep your logbook, if you keep one?

    Starting to acquire bits and pieces of paper and electronic files with scribbled notes, I'd like to get it a bit better organized.. Thoughts?

    Unattended Smoking

    With long smoke times needed for pork butts, how do folks feel about starting theirs and going back to bed?

    I wonder if I should be preheating my Smokin-It 2D?

    True, folks loved it, but the commercial bbq in our area SE PA, is pretty mediocre.

    Did 3 spatchcocked chickens - a tight squeeze. Temp barely reached 240 before the chicken hit 165 by the probe. Tried to crisp the skin on my gas grill, all that did was dry out the outer portion of leg and thigh meat. Still pretty tasty.

    My Butt in the rain..

    Ended up with a couple rotisserie chickens to add to the pork. Really amazed at how much 12 lbs of shoulder cooked down to.

    I have an electric smoker so probably not in the rain. Will do one as carnitas and one in the oven

    Ribs came out pretty good, they were nicely done and a goodly amount of smoke flavor - I used apple for this bunch.  Going to keep a smoking log so I can remember how things went. So a very good first impression - one of my friends told me "if stuff comes out this good on your first try, I...

    Found some turkey quarters at the Amish market near me and picked up a couple of racks of babybacks. Did the ribs with mustard and Jeff's rub and the 2-2-1 method at 230F, couple of chunks of apple at about 6 oz. At the same time I did the turkey quarters with  an olive oil moisten and Jeff's...

    Thanks, Dave! When I opened the smoker, one chunk of wood was nearly untouched and the other was completely black - very little ash.  I'll post some pictures tomorrow when I have better light. Thinking about chicken and ribs tomorrow.
