Congrats. Hows it taste?
I started out with with the same cut of meat. It's a good piece to start with. Cheap, forgiving and with the long day, you get to know your smoker fairly well.
I miss that stuff too. Used to get ribs that the old black guys from GA would sell at their bbq stands.
I've looked at all the recipes here and it's either sweet baby rays style or Carolina mustard style.
So have you finished with your recipe?
Just made my first batch this morning. I'm going to have to do something else for me but my daughter loved it and I know my wife will. I like my sauce a bit more mustardy but not full blown Carolina style. I don't like most Chinese restaurant entrees because I don't like sweetness paired with...
Spring has sprung, the grass has grew, time for outdoor cookin'.
Got some latches put on and a couple of thermometers put in the lid and smoked a butt a couple of days ago. It looked kind of lonely sitting in there all by itself. So today I hit the grocery store and grabbed a whole pork loin, a...
I live in the boonies in flyover country so all that's available here for thermometers is whatever walmart and grocery stores have and that ain't much. My wife works at a retirement home as a cook and has brought a few home from work of this style. They're about a 5 second read.
She says that...
Ahh, yes, the stall.
Seems my link broke. Prob because I didn't actually use the toolbar link thing, just pasted it.

Butts are pretty standard and easy even if they do take a while. Most people smoke it unwrapped between 225-240f until they get the desired color(bark - approx 5-6 hours)) and then wrap it in double layer of foil. Smoker temp can then be kept the same or raised up closer to 300f to speed things...
Well I know what I'm doing this weekend. Perfect Ribs.
Just fired up the smoker yesterday for the first time this season and did a Boston Butt. Did a pair of butts last year. That's pretty much all I've done with the exception of a brisket that I took off too soon because I could no longer keep...
I suppose. I watched a video from Yoder and he was looking for blue smoke puffing out about like my pic but I suppose it depends on how hot you're running.
Finished it up enough to do a couple of test runs, one with leg quarters and one with butts and briskets
Managed to keep the smoke blue most of the time -- after some practice -- I'll be putting some door latches on before I use it again so I don't have to lean logs on it
Did chicken for...
Thanks for the tips on storage. I'm not smoking for gatherings, I'm bulk cooking. Wife works full time and I work at home as much as I can with two kids. They're old enough to reheat things pretty soon, hopefully be cooking most things. My food sealer bit the dust. Need a new one.
Nope, one big butt. Must have been one big pig. I'm thinking that with a hog/pig being that big, I might want to go low and slow to make sure it's nice and tender. I'm seasoning the smoker right now. No charcoal so I'm just using kindling to get started. Couple of sticks 1.5 inches in dia and...
