    28" Master Forge at Lowe's

    I saw this at Lowe's the other day, and I was wondering if anyone on here has seen this, or better yet if anyone has tried it out? My biggest concern about it is that there isn't any insulation to speak of, just plain sheet metal sides. The lack of insulation isn't a problem on my cheap-o Master...

    Butt smoke in the "mild weather"

    Well, I've hit the stall - it's taken well over an hour to go from 167* to 169*  That's okay though, 'cuz the Braves are winning and the beer is cold!

    Butt smoke in the "mild weather"

    I guess a forecast high of "only" 93 degrees qualifies as a break from the heat we've been experiencing here in Georgia, so I decided to fire up the smoker.  I'm doing a butt that's a little over 6lbs with a slight modification of Jeff's rub, and smoking with apple, cherry, and a little bit of...

    Boston Butt Slices?

    What I saw in the market was actually just a butt sliced into 3/4 inch "steaks" for lack of a better term. It's not actually country style ribs, but a sliced up butt. My question is whether those slices can be treated the exact same way as a full butt when smoking, or do the need special...

    Boston Butt Slices?

    I was at my local supermarket today and saw Boston Butt Slices in the meat cooler right next to the country style ribs. The slices were approximately 3/4 inch thick, there were 4-6 slices per package, and each package was 3-4lbs (as far as I can tell they were boneless).  Also, they had them...

    Allergic to hickory

    I might just try some cheap kitchen gloves too. Of course as GI Joe taught me when I was little, knowing is half the battle.

    Allergic to hickory

    So the last two times I've smoked my forearms have broken out in a rash, and had me really scratching my head (no pun intended). I've known for years that I have a really strong allergic reaction to pecan pollen and sap, but didn't know until tonight that pecan and hickory are actually very...

    Loins w/ Qview

    Sorry, yeah I tented them while they rested. After taking them out of the smoker I put the foil tent on and let them rest in the oven (which was not on)

    Loins w/ Qview

    I smoked them at around 225-230 until the internal temp was 155. After that I tented them with foil for about 45 minutes. The sliced pork was incredibly juicy and tender, with a beautiful smoke ring.

    Loins w/ Qview

    So after much discussion earlier today as to whether or not I could use boneless loins for pulling. After that I decided to just stick with sliced pork. So here are the before, during, and after pics. Two half loins with a rub, one wrapped in some bacon (only had enough bacon for one) These...

    Boneless Loin for pulling?

    So I'm going with slicing both halves of the loin, and here are the pics so far... Only had enough bacon to wrap one. My friends for the smoke

    Boneless Loin for pulling?

    Thanks for the quick answers, sounds like two slicers for me. One quick qualifier though...would it make it any different to wrap one of the halves in really fatty bacon?

    Boneless Loin for pulling?

    Has anyone ever used a boneless pork loin for pulling? I've got two (really just one that's cut in half) ready to go in the smoker and I was going to slice one for sure, but was wondering about experimenting with cooking the other to pulling temps. With that particular cut of meat, would...

    Qview of Gameday Butt prep

    That's Big Hoppy Monster built by The Terrapin Beer Company! Terrapin is a microbrew based here in Athens. When they say hoppy, they mean hoppy! It is truly a super hoppy beer, and strong at just over 9% alcohol.

    Qview of Gameday Butt prep

    It's Georgia versus Florida this afternoon so I thought I'd throw a butt in the smoker! I'm smoking a butt that's a little over 6lbs with hickory, apple, and a little mesquite mixed in for good measure. So here are the before pics: Butt is in the smoker: And the beer is in the fridge! I'll...
