    Quick butt question on resting in a cooler

    Long story short I had a 7 pound but go a lot quicker then expected. My 4 pound ones take anywhere from 13-14 hours, this one took 10 so it threw off the time table. How long can you rest it in a cooler wrapped in foil and a towel? It is 8:30 and it will not be enjoyed until around 4:00.

    Has anybody used a feral hog for pulled pork

    I ask because I am going hog hunting soon and gathering ideas for the meat since in Texas we are not allowed to donate feral hog meat to food banks. I am sure I will give a lot if it away but I want to prepare some of it. Any other ideas besides pulled pork?

    Reminder with brisket and time

    Just like with pulled pork the brisket decides when it's done. 3.25 pounds of the flat put in at 9:30am at 240. Finally pulled out at 6:00pm, one thermometer read 179 the other 191. Wrapped in foil blanket for 1 hour then served. Logic would say that is way to much time for a flat at 3.25...

    Applied rub 32 hours prior to smoke, bone in butt, too soon?

    I like to marinade the hell out of poultry and due to timing I decided to dry rub my butt now which is about 32 hours until I smoke. Do you think that is a little too soon? I know on ribs it would be but this is a huge chunk of meat. I worry only because of the salt. I wrapped it in suran...

    MES 30/40 owners, how often do you clean?

    Just wondering? I know to do the seals every time after a smoke but what about the racks? Ever give the inside a good scrub? I clean the drip pan, racks, and door seals every time but I think that might not be needed, minus the seals. Any thoughts?

    Breaking in the smoker with skinless, boneless, chicken breasts, suggestions

    Okay so the smoker will be purchased in about an hour.  I am using an electric smoker and I want to break it in with chicken.  Primarily because I have a lot on the freezer (costco double packs) and if I screw it up I screwed up $2.00 worth of meat.  So I will probably brine, from what I have...
