    Best way to infuse flavor when reheating over cooked pork.

    Long story short I tried to cook a pork butt uncovered the whole time which was a first for me. I had to transfer it to the oven once 2a.m. rolled around and I was losing steam. I guess I overdid how long I cooked it because even though it had just reached probe tender in parts the entire thing...

    What can I buy from the local grocer that’s good?

    Sorry, I wrote this right before I went to bed so wasn’t very clear haha. Long day. I wanted to try smoking sausage as I’ve never done it and am smoking a shoulder uncovered so knew it wouldn’t be ready. That’s fine as I’ll eat it tomorrow and beyond but today I wanted to try sausage. There are...

    What can I buy from the local grocer that’s good?

    I’m smoking a pork shoulder all day tomorrow and plan on it going past dinner time. So, I decided I’d smoke something I haven’t tried before and do some kind of sausages or kielbasa or bratwurst or basically anything like that. The meat department at my local grocer is actually pretty good but...

    Do I Brine a Boston Butt?

    I find it interesting that you say 2 to 5° can make the difference between a good and bad butt but are saying temp ain’t as important. I’m not saying this to try and say you’re wrong, you’re obviously right, but I’m saying that’s why I freak out about using it because as you say 2 to 5° can make...

    Do I Brine a Boston Butt?

    That does remind me, I’ve seen people pull to rest at various temperatures from 190 to 205 because of varying thoughts and some people agreeing that the temp will continue to go up while resting.. so.. any concrete thoughts lol

    Do I Brine a Boston Butt?

    Exactly. People say it’s supposed to be like probing into butter or peanut butter. There should be very little resistance and yeah, just pull out the probe and check around for tenderness.

    Do I Brine a Boston Butt?

    I want to try this method of putting a cooling rack in the pan as you described. I’m hesitant to put the butt directly in the pan because I’ve had so much liquid/droppings in my Kamado style smoker that isn’t the butt just going to cook in drippings for the first four hours before I foil?

    Attempting my first rack

    St. Louis are just spare ribs that have been cut to look like the square racks you see commonly. The rib tips are removed. So just think of St Louis style as ribs with some of the work done for you.

    Attempting my first rack

    Can someone smarter than me, since I’ve never smoked a slab and tomorrow is my first, comment on what he said above about not buying St Louis ribs because no meat on the bottom? I thought St. Louis were supposed to be the best.
