    Missing china

    When I was a kid we always had a big family Christmas day meal at Granny's. One year the older kids somehow got tasked with cleaning the table. When Granny finally got around to putting all the silver flatware back in their case a day or two later, a few pieces were missing. When she got out to...

    Puzzled about my butts....

    Thanks everyone. There was about a 1/4 pound difference in weight between the two of them. These two came packaged together, so maybe I just assumed they were from the same hog and would finish out about the same time. I'm really liking the advice that no two butts are alike. From now on...

    Puzzled about my butts....

    Thanks, I'll split the difference with you and smoke the next one at 250. I really think I'll have a much easier time maintaining 250 than 225.

    Smoker Cover Question

    google "sunbrella" or "sunbrella fabric". Roll up awning co's and the marine industry use this. This fabric can be bought by the yard on line or you may be able to find it at a business that makes awnings, bimini tops and cushions for boats, or possibly a RV dealer. I had a sail cover made...

    Masterbuilt MPS 230S

    If you have a "heat diffuser pan" as stated above, which is slotted, and sits just above the burner spread some lava rocks on the bottom and stack some above the slots (one layer high all around is fine). Fire up the rig to high. After a few minutes you'll hear a popping noise, that's the rocks...

    Well, if we all got together for some kind of smokin competition the worst anyone could do was take 3rd place in a two state competition.

    WHAT YA SMOKING LABOR DAY! INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!

    Watching the Weather Channel right now. Looks like the weekend and Monday may get a little tropical for our fiends in FL. Good luck to y'all. If track stays as is I'll probably boil some hot dogs Monday morning and then start putting everything outside inside.
