    Cast iron brands

    So what's the price point for great cast iron? An $80.00 Lodge Blacklock or a $200.00 -$250. Smithy or Field?

    Cast iron brands

    A high dollar cast iron pan with a mirror finish is no more non stick than a Lodge bought at Walmart if cleaned correctly.

    Cast iron brands

    Brand really doesn't matter once you learn how to clean and season them. And believe me there are million different suggestions on how to do this. Lodge knows how to make cast iron skillets and I use Lodge. They have doing it for a long time.

    Masterbuilt Gravity 1050? - First Smoker?

    I have had a 560 for about three years now. For just the wife and myself it is plenty. The size of the Masterbuilt depends on how many folks you are feeding in one sitting. The Masterbuilt gravity series does use a considerable amount of charcoal. You are smoking with a combination of charcoal...

    Pulled pork question

    It takes me about 10-11 hours to do a 7 pounder @ 225 degrees. Not complaining becuase they come out moist and tender.

    Pulled pork question

    Both the wife and I enjoy pulled pork from a pork shoulder. After smoking I will vacuum pack and freeze the left overs. I have been buying butt's around 7- pounds and would like to smoke more in one cook to freeze. Is it slower to cook a 14 pound shoulder as apposed to (2) 7 pound shoulders?

    Pulled pork smoking temp

    Really enjoy this forum. Been gone a while. Work and a small farm. Also my smoker was broken. I fixed the smoker and am now retired. I have been smoking my butts at 225 degrees for twelve hours. I read recently that I can smoke at 300 degrees for 6 hours (7-8 pounds). Will this work and turn out...

    Recommended smokers

    I have a Masterbuilt 560. Use it for both smoking and grilling. Nice charcoal flavor when grilling and great smoke flavor when smoking. Keep wood chunks on hand to load in the gravity hopper. I can crank it up to 700 degrees and get some very nice sear on chicken skin, wings, chops, steaks, etc...

    To rub or not to rub

    I use a cherry/honey/peach combination powder dry rub then wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. For a foiling liquid I use apple cider vinegar.

    Favorite easy recipe

    My favorite is bone in chicken breasts rubbed with Morton's Nature Seasons. I crank up the Masterbuilt 560 to 700 degrees and grill the breasts with briquets/cherry chunks until the skin on both sides is nice and crispy. Then I'll adjust the temp down to 400 and grill to an internal temp of 160...

    Pulled pork

    Thank you! This is going the direction I wanted to now. How long per pound starting @160 and ramping up to 275. I know there are no guarantees.

    Pulled pork

    It's been a while since I have smoked a shoulder roast. Last time I smoked at 225 degrees and several said that I could get the roast done much quicker if I smoked at a higher temp. Is 225 degrees not the ideal temp for pulled pork?
