    Possible Problem

    It sounds to me as though you are making good time at 130 degrees 1.5 hours into the cook. I'm guessing your total time may be just under 4 hours? Can't wait to see em. I love smoked chicken.

    Pulled pork question

    I agree with this 101%. I've had the same experience. The pork was still good, but it had lost it's normal texture. I could have eaten it without teeth. :)

    Making Sauce ahead of time...

    This is my thinking as well. I make my finishing sauce before my pork is even in the smoker.

    Turkey Smoking suggestions...

    Approx 4 hours at that temp, give or take 30 minutes. Just remember that the thermo always determines, not the time.

    terra cotta pot?

    And you are probably right. I just visited the Virtual Weber Bullet and found some very easy and cheap wind breaks that they recommend and demostrate here

    terra cotta pot?

    What he means is the same thing I was saying I believe, the WSM is sealed on the bottom and has three vents. We simply close the vent facing wind direction and leave other two open. If wind is steady, the WSM does well in wind without a break. I don't think he meant his smoker was surrounded by...

    Persimmon?

    I have never tried it, but the general rule is any hardwood from the fruit or nut family is fine for smoking. I just googled it and Persimmon seems to be prized wood for smoking high quality meats. Sounds like you are good to go in my opinion.

    Turkey Smoking suggestions...

    JIR gave you all good advice here in my personal opinion. If ya wanted to, you can even drop temp a bit to let the bird absorb more smoke. I don't think a 6 lb has to worry about the danger xone as much as a bigger bird. I would smoke it at 275, but that's just me.

    Butt

    Sounds great. Some will foil at 165 and pull around 200 and wrap in towel and place in cooler.

    terra cotta pot?

    Thanks for clarifying. It was the only charcoal smoker i could think of at the moment that was sealed on the bottom with 3 vents. I was wrongfully assuming you could close the vent facing wind and leave other two wide open.

    Grilled London Broil and Baby Reds

    Today I was going through some old things and I found a 16MB memory card that I had taken out of my camera some time ago. When i went to see what was on it, I was surprised to find shots of a cook out that I did at least a year ago on my old Aussie grill. Apparently, I had been thinking about...

    Which Smoker should I get for my husband for xmas?

    My personal preference is for the weber Smokey Mountain. And at $100, it's a steal in my opinion.

    Seasoning

    First, let me say you are a lucky dawg!!! That is one of the best smokers out there in my opinion! wash all the grills and bowls with soapy warm water and rinse allow to dry. Double check all screws and bolts for tightness. Use a hose and thoroughly rinse out the inside of the smoker and allow...

    Think I'm going to smoke my first butt on Sunday...

    What works best for me is to rub my butts while I'm waiting for the charcoal to get ready. The meat turns out great every time. The problem with mustard and brows sugar is, the sugar will melt and will drip down to the bottom in all likely hood. I don't think you plan has any drawbacks though...

    Seasoning

    What smoker are you referring to? Check with your users manual if the smoker is electric or propane or ceramic. If it is a charcoal smoker, you'll need to season it. If you need instructions on seasoning, please shout out and someone will reply with steps.

    terra cotta pot?

    It is my belief that you will not get the airflow you need. As the heat rises, the draw from underneath will be strong to replace the air, however most pots I have seen have small drainage holes. I guess the only way to know for sure would be to try it out and let us know. If it is wind you are...
