    First time smoking pork then finishing in the oven

    Can’t do that with mine. I use an offset smoker that I stoke with wood every 30-45 min. My oven runs hot by about 25 degrees, so I take that into account when setting the cook temperature. I have 2 young kids so I need to figure out a way to enjoy my hobby while also being present in there...

    First time smoking pork then finishing in the oven

    Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to try that rewarming technique. So before you move the butt to the oven you wrap it and set it in the 1/2 inch of apple juice? What’s the reason for adding the apple juice then? Isn’t the oven simply heating the juice. The pork is wrapped at this point.

    Pork Butt resting

    I’m smoking pork butts for my daughter’s 2 birthday party. I plan on smoking the pork the day before the party. Historically when I smoke meats I’ve always served them on the same day. Thus, I need advice on the resting period and rewarming. After the pork butts are finish, where and how...

    Installing a Probe Port

    Running the cords through the stack is definitely the easiest solution. That’s a nice setup you have there! You got those dogs to guard the smoker, right?

    Installing a Probe Port

    By “adding” I mean drilling into my smoker above the grate and using some kind of metal or silicone device to accommodate the probes.

    Installing a Probe Port

    Hi, I have a Horizon 20” Classic offset (0.25” steel) smoker. I’ve been running wired temp probes (ThermoWorks smoke) to my meats. As there is no probe port I run the wires under my cooking chamber door causing a continuous small leak. I run 2-4 probes during a cook. What port do you recommend...

    Brisket Advice Needed Please

    I ran 3 probes the entire cook. 1 in the point, 1 in the middle, and one at the flat. I thought the flat finishes first because it’s the thinnest?

    Need brisket advice please.

    I ran probes simultaneously in the flat and point. However, I pulled the brisket when the point read 185.5 and flat was 195. I simply pulled the brisket when my first probe (the flat) hit 195. I did not check any tenderness. What is a good technique for tenderness check? I’m thinking I...
