    First rib cook

    That’s one of things I really enjoy about the hobby...there’s more than one way to skin the proverbial cat! It seems it’s a bit of a trial and error process and I have learned from every cook. The tips, tricks and techniques from all the great people here on the forum are priceless! Mike

    First rib cook

    After a fairly successful pork butt, I decided to tackle ribs this weekend. Got to the butcher late and missed the baby backs so I ended up having to trim to what I hope was St Louis style. Looked pretty good, but not 100% sure I pulled it off. Used a mix of apple and cherry wood. Went with the...

    First pork butt update

    I added a couple of hours to the schedule anticipating it taking longer than I thought it would. Planned to just let it rest longer in the cooler if it got done sooner. It go a little bit longer, but not too bad.

    First pork butt update

    Felt it went very well Alex. Still being new to all of this, my first couple of cooks were kinda stressful but this one went pretty much to plan. Actually was able to eat right about when I planned. Didn’t happen on earlier cooks! And it was most definitely better than other pulled pork I’ve...

    First pork butt update

    Hey Alex...I tried that and it gave me a “you have no media” message. The other icons are asking for a URL. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Mike

    First pork butt update

    Thanks y’all! I do have some pics but I will need a tutorial on posting them. They are on my phone and apparently you can’t just post them right from the camera roll. Mike

    First pork butt update

    I would like to start by thanking everyone who responded to my earlier post...wicked good information and tips! Made my first butt cook a success. I started with a 6 1/2 lb boneless butt, already trimmed and tied by the butcher. Shout out to Adams Farm in Athol, Mass. Quality piece of meat. Got...

    Chicken breast temp plateau?

    After reading your reply JJ I think I left one piece of info out...I did brine for a couple of hours before putting in the smoker. Could this have an effect on the cook?

    First pork butt

    Hi all...quick question. I am attempting my first pork butt on my 18” WSM. I have read two schools of thought. Meat placed directly on the grate or meat placed in a disposable aluminum pan and then on the grate. Thoughts and/or input? Thanks in advance. Mike

    Chicken breast temp plateau?

    I do have a remote system...one probe at the grate, one in the meat. And double checked meat temp with a hand held instant read. Thanks for the reply...just want to make sure I wasn’t screwing up somehow.
