    Brining...

    Howdy, y'all! I'm gonna blast out a Pork picnic tomorrow and was gonna try a different brine. I've heard of the usual cola/Dr pepper brines and injections. I'm feeling funky and was thinking about trying an orange soda brine. Any thoughts, warnings, concerns, etc? Thanks for any and all replies!

    Argh!!! WTF?

    Hey y'all. So I've been running at 235ish for two hours on my ribs. I went to brush then and rotate from top rack to bottom and vice versa and my temp has shot up to 300+. I've shut all vents and no real change. Any advice?

    Catchin' a Spatchin'

    Greetings, y'all. So for my second smoke I'm thinking about a couple spatched chickens. If I'm understanding correctly, smoking birds is usually done at higher temps (325-375+?) With this heat would it be smart to use a large lump mesquite instead of briquettes? Also, any general time on a 4...
