    Saturday pork butt - Q-view

    Good morning everyone! I stopped by the local grocery store the other day to grab a couple things and they had a real nice fresh cut pork butt. His prices are typically through the roof. To my surprise he had the butt for $1.20 per pound for a 7 pounder. Decided to give it a try at that price...

    Chuckies...maybe a fail? Qview

    Well....I think I screwed up. I put the chuckles on and tried the hot and fast method at 275. I put them on at 2:55 and and at 6:40 they are at 203 and 210. I wrapped at 190 just to loosen them up a bit. Part of each roast is toothpick tender and other parts are still a bit tough. I think...

    High Temp Chuck Roast

    We are shooting bows out at my buddy's house all day and he was talking about doing some butts on his Pitt Barrel Cooker while we are shooting.  I thought about instead of butts, maybe doings some chuckies for pulling instead just to give them a try.  I was just curious how chuckies do at higher...

    Smoked Pizza...Need Help

    I want to try a pizza on my UDS just to see how it turns out.  My question is, should I throw it on the rack or keep it on a pizza pan?  I figured I would try to smoke it at 350 but just wondering if it will burn the crust before the rest is done.  I thought about trying a papa murphys take and...

    Jeffs rub hot and fast

    Supposed to smoke some ribs tomorrow and through about trying the hot and fast method to see what it's all about. I did the hot and fast on some butts at about 275 and at times a touch higher and worked great. My question is, since jeffs rub is high in sugar, how hot is too hot? I'd rather not...

    It just dawned on me last night that looking through the UDS section that there are typically quite a few questions about fire boxes and I had not posted my cheap solution to it. I searched all over for good expanded metal but everyone wanted an arm and a leg for it. So I decided to experiment...
