    Pork loin

    I love pork loin! It is probably the most frequent meat i smoke and its always a hit with the family at gatherings. In my experiance its also a pretty quick smoke, usually takes just a few hours for me at about 275 to 300f reguardless of the size. I think the consistancy of the cook times is...

    Smoker Grill

    If your looking for a grill that you can also smoke with i would deffinatly second second the Weber Kettle. A great price to quality ratio, very versatile, and a seemingly infinite supply of advice from others who use it. I doubt anyone has ever regretted purchasing a kettle.

    Birthday surf n turf

    Wanted to smoke something for my birthday but had some other things to do so i decided to go picked up some NY strop, shrimp, and threw some asparagus in to feel healthy. First time ever cooking shrimp and it tasted good to me! Got a little pre-occupied shuffling things around on the grill so...

    First time ABTs - far from successful

    I gave it another shot today and got much better results. I do believe the main difference was not using the tonys (or any seasoning for that matter). I made 8 of them in my kettle at around 250-275f, took about an hour and a half and the last little bit i cranked up the heat to crispen up the...

    First time ABTs - far from successful

    Woe thanks for the info everyone! Im going to take another crack at it today, going to keep it simple for now with just the half a jalapino, cream cheese, a little smokie and half a strip of bacon. Ill post the results later! One last question though, how long do you usually smoke these for...

    First time ABTs - far from successful

    First time ABTs - far from successful

    I had never had ABTs before but i had heard good things and i was looking for smoked sides/ mid-smoke snack options so i gave it a shot. Im not sure exactly where i went wrong but they turned out pretty aweful. The first thing ive smoked (which is not very much) that ive thrown away, which is...

    Pork shoulder hot and fast

    I like the idea of having multiple multiple methods in my back pocket. Low and slow if im in the mood to make a day out of it and spend time fiddling to maintain a low temp, and a hot and fast method for these last minute excursions or when im in a time crunch. Sort of reinforces my idea of...

    Pork shoulder hot and fast

    Yes on the first question was more of a rhetorical question that i was agreeing, not trying to question what you were saying. What you were saying made a lot of sense as well as the "steady temps dont matter" comment. As a new smoker thats the kind of insight im looking for here! I "felt" like...

    Pork shoulder hot and fast

    Yep definatly workinh on the "feel" part as this was my third butt and i think my 8th smoke in general. Thats a good point about about cooking at 350 in the oven amd turning out fine, as thats probably the norm for most meats in the oven, so why would it be much diferent on the grill? With...

    Mobile app

    I made a shortcut to the home page on my phone. On my phone (android) there are 3 dots by the search bar and then an "add to home screen" option. It makes a little icon that lools like any other app that takes you directly the home page.

    Pork shoulder hot and fast

    Yea suprisingly the bark was probably the best ive had! (that ive cooked myself). It was a little spongey but had i not wrapped it that may not hav been an issue, but reguardless im thrilled with it because i usually dont end up with very good bark. Yea starting the night before would be nice...

    Pork shoulder hot and fast

    It actually turned out pretty good considering it reached 205 in just under 6 hours. My temp stayed in the 325 ballpark for most of the cook and got to around 350 from time to time. I didnt realize how little charcoal i had untill i started the cook and didnt want to go to the store so around...

    Pork shoulder hot and fast

    Decided last minute this morning to smoke a 7 lb shoulder. Ive always cooked closer to 300 because i struggle to keep temps low in my 18 inch webber kettle. Ive read some articals about others cooking at much higher temps up to 350 even and turning out ok. Since this was rather last minute and...
