    Memorial Day Pork Shoulder

    here's the shoulder after a few hours over natural lump charcoal and cherry wood. IT was 160 and I'm moving it to an aluminum pan and wrapping it to finish.

    Memorial Day Pork Shoulder

    Starting a Sunday smoke. Starting with a small boneless pork shoulder, injected with 1 cup of a half and half mixture of bourbon and apple juice, with a packet of Saizon (Cuban pork seasoning) mixed in. I’ve liberally coated it with Jeff’s Rib Rub. Just waiting for the Weber Smokey Mountain to...

    CHRISTMAS TURKEY PROBLEM

    Just an update: On Sunday, I smoked the bone-in breast to an IT of 150 degrees, rested it in a cooler for an hour, then let it come to room temp. I then removed the whole half-breasts, vacusealed them and refrigerated them. Today, I sous vied them at 155 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours. When I...

    If you had 10lbs of bone-in shoulder....what would you make with it?

    If you go with pulled pork, you can portion it vacuseal it and freeze it. It will stay delicious for at least 6 months. Pop a package into boiling water for about 10 minutes whenever you want a pulled pork sando or some carnitas. If you don't sauce it before you freeze it, it's great for...

    WHO WANTS TO COOK A BIG ASS BRISKET?

    Yup, that would be one backup plan, but I frankly think she and her guy are just too newbie to tackle a brisket in the first place. The alternative is to braise it in the oven instead of smoking it, but who knows, maybe there's somebody out there who's willing to do it over the weekend for the...

    WHO WANTS TO COOK A BIG ASS BRISKET?

    My sister lives in the Pascagoula/Ocean Springs/Gulfport area, and needs a professional smokehouse or BBQ team to cook a 25 pound brisket for a Christmas event. She apparently committed the rookie mistake of buying a piece of meat too big to fit in her smoker. If anyone knows someone they...

    CHRISTMAS TURKEY PROBLEM

    I think this is the way to go. Would you suggest vacu-sealing them on the bone, or deboneing and vacu-sealing the unsliced half breasts?

    CHRISTMAS TURKEY PROBLEM

    Thanks. I like the idea of using the sous vide to rewarm them, also. I'm going to go with that. I always either brine or inject. You're right, it does wonders about keeping them moist. I inject with equal parts chicken stock, apple juice and bourbon. Tastes wonderful!

    CHRISTMAS TURKEY PROBLEM

    My smoked turkey breasts have become a required part of our Christmas meals with our extended family. I'm expected to produce flawlessly delicious turkey, a challenge which I am happy to accept. Here's my problem this year. My sister-in-law, who lives about an hour away, is hosting. Dinner...

    Poultry Smoke Time

    I do spatchcocked chickens in about 1 1/2 hours at 250. People do it differently, but I cut out the backbone, then score the breastbone from inside and bend the bird flat. You want the meatiest part of the thigh to reach 150, then rest the bird in a cooler in a foil pan covered in foil for 30...

    How to transport brisket

    It should rest anyway. I vote for butcher paper in a cooler over reheating, every time. If you make sure the cooler isn't much bigger than the brisket, it will stay warm for 2-3 hours.

    Competition style chicken practice

    Very nice looking yardbird! Two tips I've used: 1. Don't completely debone. This can lead to dried-out meat. Some folks take poultry shears and just cut the bone in the middle, then free it up a little from the surrounding tissue with a paring knife. I just free up one end of the bone and...

    1st Try at a Smoked Turkey

    I've done lots of turkey breasts on the WSM, but never the whole bird. Very Impressive!

    Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner

    One new trick I tried was to buy some mini loaf pans, the kind you bake cornbread in so it comes out looking like a little loaf of bread. I put a generous amount of rub in the bottom and then cooked the thighs skin-side down in the pans in the smoker for the first hour, then turned them out of...
