I'm baaaack!
After blowing up my smoker last year I finally got a new smoker!!! It's an offset, a totally new bird for me. My last one was an extremely bastardized vertical propane smoker. The propane part was a crutch for controlling temps, now I have to learn to how to control temps and smoke for real...- smokeusum

Spatchcock Turkey on the Smoker-sure why not!
So I've done quite a few yardbirds spatched on the smoker so I thought doing a turkey should be (praying) fairly easy... So far it's taken me almost an hour to get the spine out and crack the sternum. Many tools where utilized! Pretty sure my husband thinks I'm building something. I'll post... -

Big boobs, a small butt and some bacon!! Really, smallest little butt roast I've ever seen (or smoked!) - it's barely 2 pounds! I'm hoping my timing, layering and placement/staggering will work ;) Yard bird went in first! Sent in the butt And now the bacon, just a few pieces, for me: -
Couple of Big Ole Butts
Well, it's been a hot minute since I smoked some butt, or anything else, so I decided it was time, got two beauties in the smoker, today. It's been a battle, seems my asst pitmaster wasn't on her game, when I got home from a quick coffee run the temp gauge was buried, smoke rolling out, and a... -

Spatchcocked Yard Bird?!!
Ok, so I spatchcocked a 6lb yardbird yesterday, mixed up my rub and buttermilk, and have left the ol' girl chill for the past 24 hours. Do I put her booby up or booby down on my (vertical smoker) rack? Estimated smoke time? Recommendations forth skin to "bite through" skin? Here's a pre-soak... -
I like big butts! I can not lie!!!
It's been a while! The plan had been for a huge throwdown on New Years... My buddy that works for Sysco dropped an entire case of butts at my door (8 in all, 90lbs total) and then EVERYONE got sick, so we had to cancel the shindig. In preparing for the party my husband, for reasons I WILL NEVER... -
Butt & Shoulder
So I'm doing my weekly Butt smoke and my daughter's friend says "hey, if I bring you a Butt, will you smoke it for me?" while waving a bit o' cash at me. How could I say no? So around 10 last night he drops of his 10lb hunk o' love and takes off. I go to prep it and it's a Picnic. I call, he... -
My Butt went BAD!!

Brought it straight home and stuck it in the fridge. My fridge is fairly new, has a great seal and is on it's coolest setting. The "date" on... -
What kind of salt do you use?
So I'm outta salt and I've got a beautiful butt that needs to be prepped in the fridge. I've been working on my own rubs and just wanted other opinions on the best salt for rubs. I've been using kosher for quite a while and been fairly pleased. I brought back a few salts from Maui this summer... -
Anyone turn Butt Fat Cap to Chiccarons?
Trimmed the fat cap off my butt as one whole piece; anyone make Chiccaron's outta the fat cap? I'd like to, but I figured I'd ask before I smoked up the house while smoking up the back yard. -
To truss or not to truss, that IS the question!
Picked up a pack o' butts from Costco yesterday, those of y'all that get these know there are 2 in the pack and they are deboned. Usually, the two are fairly equal in size. These aren't, but that's ok. They've been brining all night, and I'm considering trussing them up to form them up as they... -
1st time pork loin! Inject? Brine?
So I went for a Butt, came home with a loin for a smoke tomorrow and I wanna prep it well. I understand a denser meat may not "accept" an injection (which would also tells me a brine would not soak in, either) My thought is inject and brine (basically,brining from the inside, out and outside... -

TWO 8.5lb bone-in butts and just under 14lbs of ribs! So I plugged in the crockpot, filled it with a mixture of apple juice and a grocery-store BBQ sauce and a splash of liquid smoke, injected the butt with a bit of apple juice, apple cider vinegar and a touch of liquid smoke and stuffed it... -
Booty-Lucius!!!
Smokin a couple of Boston butts today, about 17lbs total. Starting with applewood and cherrywood with a chuck of peach wood. Later I'll add more cherry and orange wood. I normally get the giant boneless butt pack from Costco, which I prefer, but we pulled into their parking lot at 2 minutes a 6... -
Buttermilk Brine ?? -- again
Hub keeps buying boneless breasts despite the fact that I have told him I really don't like them... So I brined them in buttermilk and Cackalacky Spice Sauce which is a sweet-potato based spicy, thick sauce -- didn't think to add water til it was too late... So my pork butt is almost done and... -
