    Boston Butt?

    Hi All, Recently bought a pork joint, sold as a Boston butt. Obviously it's pretty rare in the UK, so I'm no expert on butts, but it doesn't look like one to me. As far as I know there shouldn't be a socket joint? Also I couldn't find the money muscle that shouldbe on one end. Anyone think...

    Boston Butts

    I'd figure on finishing it early and holding it ready. Unless you have other titbits for people to be getting on with.

    Boston Butts

    About 1 and a quarter to 1 and a half hours per pound is the normal guesstimate I think. So, 12 to 15hrs sounds about right depending on weather, etc.

    Smoking a packer brisket for two

    I'd cook the lot and freeze it in sections. I have 2 packers in the freezer and intend to do that.

    Pellet Grills

    I have a GMG DB.and it's great. Slightly cheaper than a Traeger in the UK and slightly more grill area. It's pretty heavy gauge and well built. I'd imagine it's silly cheap for you guys. Personally I think pellet grills are the future.

    baby back ribs

    Hi bignick, it could be done at a low temp like that but you have to bear in mind the 4 hour guide for bugs. Being ribs I'd imagine that they would be up to a safe temp fairly quickly, i.e. less than 4 hours. I'd never heard of it until I came on here, but it's something to be aware of...

    Pecan wood bitter flavor or not

    Like Al said, I would suggest too much white smoke. White smoke is OK, but you dont want more than an hour or maybe two hours at a push.

    Cold smoking bacon with a mailbox

    Just checked page again and now it's giving the same amount of cure for skin on or off. =/ Will have to try it on my pc when I get home. How much longer does it take skin on?

    Cold smoking bacon with a mailbox

    I'm gagging to try this too. I want to cold smoke mine. On a calculator I found it says taking the skin off require more cure? Surly you get better penetration with skin off and therefore need less? Is there any benefit in taking the skin off beforehand? Most sites seem to say not.
