    Couple Chuckies

    I picked up a couple of chuckies spur of the moment today. I want to make shredded beef but have a couple questions. In order to shred I'm thinking the IT needs to be around 205. Does this sound right? I'm not going to eat them until Tuesday. Should I rest and shred them today or wait until...

    Brisket help

    Smoking an 8.5 lb brisket flat today. It's been on since 7 am. Right now it's sitting at 180. So I'm thinking it will be done by 2:30 ish. Dinner is not until six. If I foil and towel wrap in a cooler will it hold for 3.5+ hours? Or is it better to hold it in the oven at the lowest...

    First smoke on a Weber kettle

    I was gifted a Weber kettle and tried it for a smoke for the first time today. I got a late start and didn't have time for 3-2-1. So I found a recipe online that called for 2 hours at 300, 1 hour wrapped and a finish of 20 minutes uncovered once sauced. I couldn't get the grill to go above...

    Jealous Devil

    For those that have used JD in the past or would like to try it I found some JD lump at home depot for $24 for a 20 lb bag. I've never seen it in a store before. Hopefully the quality is the same.

    Outside temp and cheese smoking

    I'm planning on squeezing in one last cheese smoking session before the weather warms up. This weekend we're only expecting highs in the mid 20's. I've never cold smoked cheese when it's that cold out. Do I run the risk of the cheese freezing? Or should the smoke tube throw off enough heat to...

    Boston Butt Bargain

    The day before Thanksgiving I was in the local Kroger and they had butts for only $0.33 a pound. I've never seen anything that low before. Even before the recent price increases. I was able to pick up an 8.5 pounder for under $3. Wish I had more room in my freezer. Just thought I'd share my...

    Pellet grill issue

    Was smoking some wings last night and the temperature in my camp chef was bouncing all over the place. It would go from 250, up to 270 then back to 230 in a matter of 30 seconds. That's never happened before. It's always been a gradual increase or decrease a couple degrees at a time. Any ideas...

    Rib question

    Thinking of some ribs this weekend. Last time I did 3-2-1 with St. Louis cut ribs. I feel they came out a little over done. When I unwrapped them they were almost falling apart. If I were to back off some should I do 2-2-1 or 3-1-1?

    Jerk pork tenderloin

    Hello all A couple weeks ago I smoked my first pork tenderloin. A 2.5 pound piece that I brined in a mixture of water, salt and honey. It turned out fantastic. Fast forward to this weekend and I have a 4.5 pound tenderloin that I would like to try jerk pork with. My question is should I...

    Sunday pulled pork

    Smoked an 8 pound Boston butt today. Rubbed it down on last night to hang out in the fridge. Put it on this morning at 7 at 270. Used a komado style grill and burried my wood chunks in the charcoal. I never tried that before but it was a winner. I had a thin blue smoke all day. Not bitter...

    First time fattie question

    Hello all, Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been smoking for about five years now and I'm finally getting around to attempting my first fatty in the near future. I do my smoking on a round Primo komado style grill. But I currently don't have a charcoal divider and thus have no way...
