    Need advice and encouragement for July 3 smoke for 100+

    We catered an event a few weeks back. Close to 700 people showed up. Here are some tips. - Pork renders out to 50% so an 8 pound butt will be 4 pounds cooked - a portion is 1/3 pound. You need 33 pounds of finished product or 66 lbs raw - We always cook 1 week ahead and freeze. Onsite we just...

    Rochester, NY Roc City (KCBS) May 23-24

    here is the smoker temp which I had to restart on Sunday morning about 2:45 because of a grease fire. I toggled between 250/225/200 throughout the night. The only thing that I wasn't impressed with was the pork shoulder which was overdone. I placed it on the top shelf. Next time it goes mid shelf:

    Was nice to meet Chilepeppa last weekend and check out the new line of SS Smokers. I REALLY WANT ONE! We had a heck of a time maintaining temps on Saturday due to the wind coming off lake Ontario. Saturday into Sunday went fine though as we relocated the smoker to protect it from the wind. We...

    All of our walks were in New York last year. We'll be sending in the paperwork for Lake Placid and New Paltz next week. If we can afford it we'll do Sayville again [Long Island]. We got some new techniques we learned from IQue a few weeks back. I'm trying out the "foil boat" on the Caldera this...

    Easter smoke with QView

    The Stoker with StokerLog software is amazing. I can't see ever going back. I've got a Guru for backup but this year we're using the stoker for both pits in competition. -rob

    Happy Easter folks. It's been a while. This is what I did yesterday. City ham alton brown style. The recipe is here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/a...ipe/index.html I adapted it for the WSM. After scoring the ham with a utility knife I placed it on the smoker: From there I strapped the...

    What book to buy

    If you are into competition BBQ you'll want to get "Dr. BBQ's Big-Time BBQ Cookbook". He shares lots of secrets about winning in the comps. It's a little over $5 used at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Dr-BBQs-Big-Ti...7384939&sr=1-1

    Do you need a health dept license?

    I have found that most states REQUIRE a license and some go beyond that and require an inspection for every event. In addition to this you are going to want to get a registered business name/tax ID and insurance for that business. That way if someone sues you they can only go after your...

    I have seen someone take a sawzall/tin snips to a cookie sheet. They snipped it so the bottom fit snug against the fire grate and the top was just big enough for the lid to fit. Perhaps it was someone on this board. -rob

    Anyone on here with a ProQ Excel 20?

    I've got a WSM with a Pro-Q insert. It literally "saved our butt" at the last contest we were in. My main unit requires a power drafter and the power went on/off throughout the night. I loaded all the meat on the WSM with the Pro-Q and just used natural draft. Butt took 6th and brisket 5th...
