    First time pork butt tomorrow

    This smoke  was a success! Got up saturday morning and put my 9lb butt on the smoker at 8:30ish. IT was 43...still a little frozen on the inside. Around 530 it reached 165, took it off, placed it in aluminum pan with apple juice and put it back on the smoker. I used hickory and cherry wood for...

    First time pork butt tomorrow

    Thank you everyone as always! I got a late start to the day so I'm going to do this during the weekend. I'd rather have a whole day to commit to it rather than being rushed.

    First time pork butt tomorrow

    Hey guys! For my 3rd smoke, I'm doing pork butt tomorrow! I have a good understanding on what I'm doing by reading some threads. What kind of wood do you guys use the most? When I go to the butcher, should I ask for a certain thickness? Does anyone cook it in a throw away aluminum pan for the...

    First time smoker today...couple questions!

    Today I did 2 beer can chickens again. This time I put the birds in, then added cherry wood chips and let those burn and didn't refill the pan at all. Both birds were in for about 6 hours or so. I kept the temp high, 320-350 degrees. They came out a ton better than last week. Juicy, great color...

    First time smoker today...couple questions!

    Hmm interesting. No water pan? What will this cause? Dryer cook for crispy skin? I rubbed them down with olive oil, then used my rub all over them. My skin was rubbery, that's for sure

    First time smoker today...couple questions!

    For those that cook whole chicken, what temp do you cook at? I've heard people cook at 225 and some people all the way up to 350

    First time smoker today...couple questions!

    Okay cool. I'll try with just apple or cherry if I can find it next time. I want to do another beer can chicken this weekend to see the difference!

    First time smoker today...couple questions!

    Okay, so only smoke for an hour or so, then just use heat for the rest of the time? That could be where I messed up. I did smoke the whole time lol

    First time smoker today...couple questions!

    I think I have this whole process wrong while, then just simply finish it off with smoke for the last hour or so? When I did these two birds, as soon as they went on, I started adding the wood chips. Then whenever the smoke went away I would add more...

    First time smoker today...couple questions!

    Thanks everyone! I'll keep trying for sure! It was a little windy, but not a real strong wind or anything. Maybe I should just cook the birds without smoke for half the time then start with the chips? The skin definitely wasn't crispy
