    What am I doing wrong?

    When I go to a forum that shows over 1000 threads, such as the Poultry forum, only the first 13 show. Why can't I see the rest? Thanks

    Question about foiling

    Haven't been around in a while because I haven't had a chance to fire up the smoker lately I am planning to smoke a few butts this weekend for the neighbors. I have tried it with and without foil, and the results were similar. The question: Why do you foil? Is it to speed up the cooking...

    Columbus day smoke

    Well since I am Italian, I figured I would do a smoke today to honor Christopher Columbus. Actually, that is just an excuse to fire the smoker up. Plan a few ABT's and Dutches baked beans. Butt went on at 5:30 am. Will try to get some Q-view up later.

    Another question about smoking times!!!

    I have also seen where some of you foil the pork at 160 deg. Does this speed up the cooking process?

    Another question about smoking times!!!

    Thanks Joe, thats what I wanted to hear. I have a butt defrosting in the fridge that I am planning to smoke in a few days. I will try this. Edit in: I did put an oven thermometer in the smoker and it was right on with the smoker setting.

    Another question about smoking times!!!

    Please bear with me, this is a little long. I have been smoking for quite a few years. I started out with one of those Masterbuilt 7 in 1 smokers. I used to throw a butt on at about 6am and it would be ready about 5pm. I didn't have a theremometer at the time, (I hadent yet discovered this...

    Question for you Butt smokers out there

    Wow, lots of great info. I guess I am not far off concerning time. Guess I will keep on keepin on. One thing I like is with the MES, like I said, I put the butts on about 7-8 PM and feed chips until 11-12 PM. Then I can go to bed, get up at 6 and finish the smoke. Thanks for all the replys.

    Question for you Butt smokers out there

    I have smoked more than my fair share of butts and have never wrapped them in foil like I have seen here. I usually get butts that are about 8-9 lbs. I have a MES which I usually set at about 225. I normally put my butts on at about 8PM. By 6am they are usually in the plateau (160 deg). They...
