    Tough decision....

    I'm now quite likely looking into a pellet smoker and need some advice from folks...Ideally, I'd like to spend around $400 and have a digital thermometer I can dial in. Thoughts? Kurt

    Baby Backs for the Super Bowl

    So, I'm in the middle of cooking them.  I'm in NH where it's cold outside. I've got my smoker stabilized at about 230 degrees.  I'm fine with this, but when I put the ribs it, the temp had dropped to 170 and took more than an hour to get where it is.  From a timing standpoint, how do I account...

    Boneless Pork Butt

    Just an FYI, it got to about 189 and I had to pull it from the smoker.  I wrapped in foil, threw it in a cooler, and left for the day to do my work.  I came back around 4:30 to do the actual pulling of the pork. It was still almost hot (very warm).  It pulled amazingly easy and was very juicy. ...

    Boneless Pork Butt

    Kicked the temp up to 266...butt is at 187 right now.   Leaving it in for another 20 minutes, then I'll wrap it in foil shove it in a cooler until I can get back to it.  I think it'll be fine. :)

    Boneless Pork Butt

    Ok, about 6am here...Pork is slowing rising in temp...it's at 169 right now.  I kicked the smoker temp up a little bit because I got $#!T to do today. :)  I'd rather not finish in the oven, but will if I have to. Kurt

    Boneless Pork Butt

    Second time with this... Here's the before Q View More when it's done.  In a fit of insanity, I started this at 4:30pm this afternoon.  Guess who's going to be checking every hour or so tonight... Smoker's sitting right at 225 - Butt is at 151 right now and may be in the middle of the stall...

    Beef Ribs - first time

    Ok, so I just foiled them.  They'd pulled away from the bones quite a bit.  I'll leave them in foil for about an hour and a half and see where we are.  I think because I've had them in at a lower temp for a long time, the overall foil stage probably can be shortened. Kurt

    Beef Ribs - first time

    So I decided to do these today.  Completely forgot to Q-View before pictures.  I'll make sure to do the afters, though.  Anyhow, I start up the smoker and low and behold, it gets up to 180 and hangs there...I go to find out why...turns out I didn't actually turn on the grill gas, only the ball...

    These are definitely NOT dinos, so I guess I'll stick with 3-2-1 and see what happens.  I'll foil for the second stage. Kurt

    Thanks!  I am going to use that big bad beef rub!

    Beef Ribs - first time

    Ok, so I got ahold of a rack of beef ribs from Wal-Mart (don't judge...they were cheap - like 4 bucks).  I had planned on smoking them like I would any other ribs, but I definitely wanted to check in here because I've read a couple things that don't line up. 1) I typically use Memphis Dust on...

    First time with boneless pork shoulder...

    What's the mailbox method.  I think the next mod to this smoker may be to close up the space under the legs.  I surrounded it with a box and a cooler so I could make sure the low flame didn't blow out. Brisket may happen at some point, but I generally keep to a cheaper meat.  The next thing, in...

    First time with boneless pork shoulder...

    I'll tell you what, I've done ribs for quite some time, also some chicken, but it's always been a struggle because I couldn't control the heat on my smoker.  That changed this weekend.  I've got one more pork butt in the freezer and may go get another one...$1.69 a lb. I've always loved...
