    Running not-quite-thawed shoulder

    I set a 6.5# butt into my 38° fridge to thaw last night (Saturday) for a smoke on Tuesday. No concerns about it being thawed by the time it hits the smoker circa 6 am Tuesday, but this was in a deep freezer and I think it might still be a bit frosty Monday night when it's time to apply the rub...

    Question about 3-2-1 method for ribs.

    Specifically about the "2." I can't seem to find hoe much apple juice I'm supposed to use before wrapping in foil. Are we talking a spritz like applying a mop or a healthy pour of an ounce or two? Thanks in advance!

    Tis the season

    Tomorrow (12/16) will start my 2012 holiday smoke-a-thon. We'll be doing Christmas dinner with my father in law's side of the family tomorrow. My wife's family is huge and we always have to break up Christmas into a three or four day event. So tomorrow I'll be smoking a whole turkey, after my...

    4 hours into smoke turkey is at 133 IT.

    I've always heard you're supposed to be above the danger zone within 4 hours. This is a 14 pound turkey and smoker is holding steady at about 225. Please don't tell me I've got to toss this bird... :(:confused::(

    Bacon-wrapping a turkey: brine or no brine?

    So I'm planning on smoking my first Thanksgiving turkey this year, and I THOUGHT I had everything planned out. 24 hours in a brine, air dry overnight in the fridge, a nice turkey rub and an apple smoke. Then my mother in law, who thought my meatloaf fatty with a bacon weave was an out of body...

    Has Tapatalk been disabled on the forums?

    Starting late yesterday Tapatalk started returning an error message saying it could not connect to the forums. I'll get that from time to time just as a snafu with any forum, but it's still keeping it up this morning. It shows the board hierarchy, but won't return any threads. Has Tapatalk been...

    Maybe dumb question but can you catch turkey drippings?

    I'll be smoking my first turkey and think a smoked gravy sounds incredible, but I'm not sure if you can catch drippings during a smoke? I'm using an electric smoker and my thought is just put a pan with some water on the rack below the turkey. But that will take up a lot of area between the...

    Second Butt Roast in the Bradley

    Just like with my first fatty, I had not yet joined the forum when I did my first pork shoulder. But I just did my second one today and... well, here's the story. My local grocery store (HyVee) was running a sale on Boston butt roasts, and I decided to grab about a 7.5 pound butt. I did a...

    Greetings from Illinois.

    Been lurking the forums for about two months, since I invested in a Bradley Original Smoker. Have done ribs, pork shoulder, whole chickens, turkey legs, and meatloaf fatties with a bacon weave. Planning a whole turkey for Thanksgiving and haven't quite worked up to a brisket yet. Glad to be...

    Anyone ever use turkey sausage in a fatty?

    Hi all. Brand new to the forums as a poster after lurking for a while. I've done a couple of meatloaf fatties with amazing results. Wondering if anyone has ever used turkey sausage in a "traditional" fatty? Just looking to maybe save some fat and calories. I know turkey smokes very well in...
