    Just threw first butt on the smoker

    Giving credit where it's due on those. I think there must be something in the water up there. I had a friend from Whitehouse I met at SFA, and he had some great dishes he used to whip up. I miss my days out in East Texas! Beats the hustle and bustle down here any day.

    Just threw first butt on the smoker

    Well fellas I completely dropped the ball and didn't take any pictures yesterday.... By the time I opened it from resting we dug right in and my hands were toi messy to take a pic. However, I ended up wrapping it at 165. But before I did I threw together a batch of Gary S's beans and put them...

    Newbie struggling with meat cut selection!

    That's great advice Lemans thanks. I'm trying to make sure I don't mess up on a more expensive piece of meat. So I am glad you shared that. I knew there was a specific way to split a brisket, and I love burnt ends. So win win.

    Newbie struggling with meat cut selection!

    Thanks Red that is a great link. Really good breakdown and a ton of pics. What kind of unit are you cooking with? I know that AK said he is on electric. I am using a charcoal burner, any tips on keeping temps for long periods of time on long smokes? I.e. to get a few hours of sleep. I have been...

    Thanks AK, do you smoke briskets? By cutting them down do you have to worry about which areas of the flat and point to keep together or apart?

    Newbie struggling with meat cut selection!

    I am newer to smoking, I bought an ECB to see how much I really wanted to actually get into smoking and also a good cheap unit to learn on. I did some spare ribs a few weeks ago and they turned out pretty good. I want to do a brisket or butt either this weekend or next. So here comes a few...

    First smoke on new ECB

    Hey all, Last weekend I broke in my new ECB with a rack of spare ribs. Ribs turned out pretty darn good. I have to say I was pretty impressed. It has been years since I had even been around a smoker at all. I am fairly new besides helping out friends years ago and this is the first smoker I...
