    First butt - how careful do I need to be with the temperature

    No pix; sorry. It was almost really good. The oven finish at 300° got from 155° to 205° really fast and didn't spend enough time from 160-205°. So the fat and collagen didn't completely render. I did at least one other and maybe two other things that were probably mistakes. First, I put the...

    Just getting started

    Saw a deal on a Cuisinart WSM knockoff and decided to jump in. My wife and I spent four hours smoking some dry-rubbed chicken drumsticks and a little under an hour with some apple juice-brined pork chops. The chops were awesome, but the smoker never got above 215°F and the drumsticks didn't...
