    Another weekend, another butt.

    I smoked a 10lb. butt last weekend. I ended up getting talked into doing a get together for my department at work on the 1st of July. Going to do 20lbs. of pork butt and everyone is going to bring sides. I figured I better make sure that I have my stuff dialed in, so I am doing another 10lb...

    10 lb. butt going on

    I was originally going to do a picnic shoulder today for pulled pork. I got up at 5:30am and got the smoker running and pulled the shoulder out of the fridge to get it seasoned. As soon as my knife pierced the wrapper I sensed an off putting smell. Wife confirmed my suspicions with her nose that...

    Boston Butt (1st Attempt!!!)

    OK - the proverbial newbie question :) I got a Traeger Timberline 1300 for Christmas and have done a large brisket and a bunch of smaller items as well, but now it's pulled pork time :emoji_alien: One thing I've learned already is cooking to temp, rather than based on time, however....I have a...

    Top round roast and overnight pulled pork

    Started a couple of boston butts last night on my 18.5 WSM, and had plans for a top round to join them in the morning. I was a little lazy last night, I did not prepare the beef until the morning. Lit chimney @ 10pm, temp stable @235* with applewood, water in the water pan, and butts on by about...

    Hot/Mustard Slaw for pulled pork and hotdogs???

    Searched the forum and didn't really see any mention of it. It's definitely a southern thing (kinda like the Alabama white sauce). I make my own which closely resembles a place called Bunyuns in Florence, Alabama that is famous for it. I don't really have a recipe, kinda just do it by adding...

    QUESTION... internal temperature for super tender meat, but...

    Hi guys, I'm new. I have a gas vertical smoker, and I use the gas in minimum because I like to use wood chunks or half size logs, gas burn the logs and make a little fire, I like cherry for a mild smoke, like to keep the smoker in 250, and I use a big water pan to prevent direct fire. At...
