    Source for Pit Boss temperature probes with long cable?

    I don't have a pit boss, but I found out their temperature probes are PT1000 RTD types which I need for a different application. But all the aftermarket cables I can find on amazon are 50" or shorter. Anyone know where I can get really long pit boss temperature probes? Here's one example on...

    Smoked Korean beef short ribs (kalbi) and a mystery pork cut

    I grew up eating a ton of kalbi (korean beef short ribs) and it's always been cooked over a grill, hot and fast. I tried smoking some years ago but it turned out more jerky than tender, and I swore I'd never do it again. I think the problem then was that I smoked it at too high a temperature...

    pulled pork shoulder butt (one large piece, or cut in half?)

    anyone see any issues with taking an 8-9lb shoulder butt, and slicing it in half to make pulled pork? my assumption is that it would cut the cook time in half, and double the amount of bark and smoke ring. or is it better to smoke it as one whole piece versus two half pieces?
