    Need Advice - Center cut pork loin

    Shes on! Went with @smokedad 's rub, plus 2 TB ghost pepper (Texan!). How long should a 4 lb'er take? (I know, til she's done!) Definitely going to try the herb garlic one on a weekend!

    Need Advice - Center cut pork loin

    Doing a pork loin today (NOT tenderloin). How should I season and what temp should I rock it at? Would like savory more than sweet. Not a huge fan of sweet pork

    Spatchcocked 4 lb chicken on WSM - Tips?

    Ah is that the trick? It is a bit rubbery, thought the higher temp would knock that out. Thanks. I had the upwind one closed and the others about 3/8-1/2 open to hold that 307.

    Spatchcocked 4 lb chicken on WSM - Tips?

    Here’s the bird right before I pulled it at 163. She’s resting now, forgot to tell y’all about the potato! Rubbed it in evoo and covered in salt. Went on and came off at the same time - about and hour and a half total.

    Spatchcocked 4 lb chicken on WSM - Tips?

    Meh, don't really mind what it looks like, and a flat bird is easier to deal with IMO. Plus I like the word Spatchcocked. Took right at 45 minutes to settle down to 307 and TBS. Bird went on at 545 CDT and has been getting great smoke. Steady at 306-309 so far

    Spatchcocked 4 lb chicken on WSM - Tips?

    18.5"! About 65 with a decent breeze here, smoker in the shade. Looking to light the charcoal about 3 hours before serving time. Gives 45-60 mins to get the smoker to temp producing tbs, and around 2 hours for the smoke. Not precise I know but it's just me tonight

    Spatchcocked 4 lb chicken on WSM - Tips?

    Thinking about doing a half basket of coals and about a half chimney of lit to start it, with some Hickory and apple. Should that be a good starting point?

    TBS went away after the ribs went on - WSM

    This is what I needed. My first smoke not being on a kettle, this definitely needs the time to get going

    TBS went away after the ribs went on - WSM

    Thanks for the advice - first cook on this bad boy. I'll make a not of that in my log and try it next time. The way this went, it seems like a fix

    TBS went away after the ribs went on - WSM

    I let it arrive to temp, but definitely didn't let it sit there for long after. TBS just came back, but they got a solid 20-30 of thick stuff

    TBS went away after the ribs went on - WSM

    Welp, currently soaking my ribs in thick white smoke it looks like. Had TBS before I put them on but it went away and hasn't come back. About 70 and sunny here. Filled up the charcoal basket with ab 3/4 bag of ROR, left a hole in the center and dropped 8 lit coals in it. A large chunk of...

    Any leads on Charcoal sales?

    Yep, I made the switch to royal oak ridge as well. Definitely better.

    Almost out of my ROR from the lowes sale in May - have I missed the boat on another sale this season?

    St. Louis style Pork Steaks

    So I was able to find some 3/4" pork steaks near me and want to do them St. Lois style. Was thinking of apple smoking them for a while, then searing them, then covering with BBQ sauce and giving them about 30 more minutes. Target IT is ~180? That all sound right? What should I use for a rub?

    Basting spray for boston butt?

    Welp, I sprayed about every two hours with Apple juice (had to open up the 18.5 kettle about that often) and it came out great! Pulled at 205 and set in a cooler wrapped with foil covered with towels for about 6 hours while I slept. Bone slipped right out and into the pups mouth. Pulled easily...
