    First smoke on new Yoder YS640

    Did my first smoke on my YS640 on Saturday, last weekend was burn in, seasoning and bacon. I used TastyLicks BBQ RibRub, it has a little bite on the end. Set temp to 260* and just let it go, this was more for learning the smoker than anything else. Although the temperature was in the 60's...

    Picked up a 4.25 pound butt on Monday. This is only the second time I am doing a pork butt. The first one I did about 4 years ago, a nine pounder that took about 12 hours and almost 2 tanks of propane on my Weber Genesis E310. Decided to try again on the Weber before I get a pellet smoker come...

    Baby Backs

We have a butcher about 10 minutes away and I called him last week to order 4 racks. Wife picked them up on Friday, the butcher pulled the...

    I normally smoke baby backs that I only buy from BJ's, they come three racks to a cryopak and I have yet to get a bad pack. I decided to go to the local supermarket and bought two racks of St Louis since I didn't like the baby backs they had and if I had gone to BJ's I would have spent close to...
