    butt question

    Hi all,  I currently have four Boston Butts in the smoker. I bought them in the other day and realized this morning that only three have bone in. The odd one out has a lot less marbling and just a thick cap of fat on one side. The meat seems to also be a lot . . . denser, I guess you could call...

    smoking butts in a pan

    Hi all,   Smoked several butts before but have a hard time retaining the juices when they drip. I was going to set them in a disposable roasting pan in the smoker. Will this reduce the amount of smoke that they take in?

    Dutchs wicked baked beans

    Hey guys, real quick, I am trying to get a grocery list for a party Sunday. I am going for an inagural run on Dutch's wicked baked beans. I need to know how many that recipe will serve with a medium sized serving. Also, is it worth it to smoke it, or should I just throw them in the oven? Thanks!

I tried apple the other day, but I really like a heavy smoke taste in my meat, so I used hickory the past several times i have smoked something.

    cutting wood

    Hey all. I have a large hickory tree at my disposal and am going to cut a few logs off for chunks. How do you go about it? Do you need to avoid cutting it with a chain saw because of the bar oil? Also, hickory is hard as can be to split? Any tricks of the trade for getting it into small enough...

    Question while I smoke

    Hey all, I have two butts in the smoker as we speak for my inagural boston Butt run. Had a few questions about smoke. I know that TBS is what is desired. It looks like I am producing white smoke.

    Freezing meat

    I was going to load the smoker up with a couple of butts for pulled pork. Has anyone ever done this and frozen it for later? Is it possible to reheat it without drying it out or losing flavor?
