    I used too much wood. I smoked a couple of small button roasts and they turned out great. I still need to make the moss though. I still am not having temp problems, just a lot of babysitting.

    boneless butt roast ???

    That is what I considered doing. Here is the update.... The butts took a little longer than I thought, but they turned out beautiful. They tasted awesome, way better than last time. My son is now officially hooked. He is ready to smoke some more meat. Even if it would have turned out bad...

    boneless butt roast ???

    I picked up 2 2.46lb butt roasts. I was thinking 5 to 6 hours total. My son is pretty excited to do it. I can not wait for the morning to come. This is my only second time smoking, so that is another reason. I will post an update tomorrow. Thanks for al the help.

    boneless butt roast ???

    Are these ok to do pulled pork with? I can get a couple of 2 to 3 lb pretty cheap. My son is wanting to help with the smoke. I am hoping they will be ok. I do not want a long smoke for his first time. He is 14 and he will get bored if it is more than 6 hours. I want him to get into it with...

    No I used apple chunks. I had a couple flareups so that could have caused the extra smoke flavor. I also could have used too many chunks. I'm still learning with it.

    My wife bought me an ecb as a gift. I used it and smoked a 4lb pork roast. It was ok, but was too smokey tasting. I have not done any mods except installing a new temp gauge. I hovered anywhere from 200 to 270 degrees. I know big gap. Should I drill holes in the charcoal pan? I cut some...

    update on my first smoke

    Yeah, I seen the thin blue smoke. I had some flare ups and that caused the white billowy smoke I think. For an ecb it wasn't that bad to smoke on. I'm going to drill some holes in the charcoal pan to help with airflow. I can't wait to try it out again.

    update on my first smoke

    My wife bought me an ecb. I said I wasnted a smoker and it was my fault I didn't specify the find. I used apple wood chunks. I used it off and on throughout the smoke. I had both kinds of smoke. I had a blast though. Mother nature didn't want to cooperate either and it rained off and on...

    update on my first smoke

    I finally did my first smoke today. I did what you guys suggested and got a center cut loin pork roast with the bone. I actually didn't screw it up. It tasted delicious. I ended up cutting it into cubes and made pork sandwiches with them. The only complaint was my wife and son, they said it...

    It would be better if they would quit letting water out of it. Bass are hitting pretty good right now.

    I got a couple ? from a newbie

    Man, you guys are awesome. What do you mean brine? I told you guys I'm a rookie, but I'm willingd to listen and learn. Do I let it brine overnight? Do I rinse off before I put it on the smoker? Man, there is so much to learn. Thanks again for all the help.

    I got a couple ? from a newbie

    I'm smoking my first meat this weekend (can't wait) Would a pork roast be easiest to start with to learn on? Also, what is the difference betweens mops and sauces? I always thought they were the same, but reading on here makes me realize how little I know. I can't wait to learn though.
