    To soak chips or not

    Do I just read an article that soaking chips is a bad idea. Which is contrary to what I was taught. What is the thinking from the experts?

    Pork butt too dark

    I used a pretty standard rub, with brown sugar, salt, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne and some commercial rub thrown in too, Grill mate mesquite. I agree the butt being dark isn't the end of the world as it tastes great. I have avoided ribs because the last two times they also came out...

    I use a ThermaPro dual probe thermometer which shows about 25 degrees hotter than built in thermometer. Pork butt took 12 hours ao seriously doubt running over 300. In fact one time finished in oven as it was very late and didn't want to babysit. Yes there is brown sugar but I bet many...

    Thanks Joe for the confirmation about extending chimney. Anyone used the oven at 190 degrees after getting enough smoke in the meat to cook it overnight?  As I said, was up until 2 am to reach 185 degrees and wondered if I could use the oven for the finish but do it over night.  I know you can...
