    Naked Butt!

    Smoked an 8 lb butt with no rub, no sauce! It's on the WSM with KBB and Pecan and Apple chunks. Smoked at 250 for 10 hours. IT was at 205. Wrapped in foil and towels and rested for 2 hours. Then pulled. It was very flavorful for just being pork and smoke! Thanks for looking, Mike

    Smoked Seasoning Meat

    I am looking for an alternative to cured seasoning meat in beans and gumbos.  I am going to smoke some pork steaks with no salt or sugar, and use them as seasoning for red beans.  I just don't know if the flavor will be sufficient. Thanks, Mike

    In search of....Crispy skin!

    I was going to smoke the bird, but I wanted to try Foamhearts pelicle method to crispy skin.  I didn't put a fan on the chicken, but it was uncovered in the fridge for a couple of days. The salt and peper didn't stick to the dry skin. Onto the Weber kettle, indirect cook for about 60 minutes...
