    does putting rub on the outside of a pork butt stop any of the smoke flavor from entering the meat

    Agree with this 100% Butts are big, I have never felt like there was too much rub. I go heavy as well. I usually do the boneless 2 packs from Costco - let it open up and rub the inside as well before tying it back together with twine.

    Thoughts and prayers to your family. Talking about it helps, in my opinion. Even knowing it’s a tough conversation, you can get it off your chest, share and hopeful relieve some of the weigh.

    Questions for RecTeq owners

    Maybe rewetting and use some kind of small drain snake. Found some on HD that might be small enough. Found one with a 1/4” cable. That might fit.

    Smoking brisket advice please.

    Welcome to SMF. I assume an electric smoker wont get this hot but…I run my briskets at 275 and they turnout great and cuts a lot of time off.

    Questions for RecTeq owners

    drilling out and replacing the rivets shouldn’t be very difficult. Installing rivets is a snap. Just slow and steady with a sharp drill bit to remove and buy a hand rivet gun from HD with a box of rivets - all that is cheap. I bought one years ago for a small job and randomly need it...

    First time jerky questions.

    I cut it about 1/4” and do as above at 180 for an hour or so, then turn it up a little…it’s pretty subjective on that depending on how it’s drying. I will keep drying as it cools, so keep that in mind. Thicker is easier to keep moist, super thin I tend to over dry and it’s almost crispy...not...

    Monitoring Temperature Inside the Smoker

    I checked the chamber temps a couple times and the settting is pretty accurate, so I stopped. I probe all meats except ribs which I check with an insta thermometer towards the end.

    Monitoring Temperature Inside the Smoker

    This! Thermoworks is the best. Depending on how fancy you want to go will drive the cost. A simple DOT thermometer works great - I’ve had two for about 1 years, waterproof and simple. When you start adding multiple probes, Bluetooth, wifi the dollars roll up.
