    First (and second) Keto Smoke

    I've been on the Keto diet for a few weeks now and grilling food fits into the diet very well, but this weekend was my first chance to smoke some "diet" food. I had family coming to town, so I decided to do an overnight pork butt. My normal rub is a secret recipe from my former volunteer fire...

    Meat-a-Palooza

    I wanted to smoke a standing rib roast for New Years Eve dinner, so I went to Costco a few days earlier and accidentally brought home a lot more meat than that. Since I was taking some time off from work for the holidays, I decided to spend a couple of days smoking a lot of the meat to freeze...

    First Pork Butt - Pulled Pork

    Just finished up my first pork butt tonight. It went extremely well for my first time. It ulled apart very easily and tasted delicious. It was about 7.5 lbs raw and took 9 hours on the smoker with a temperature hovering around 225°. I crutched it with foil at 160° and took it off of the smoker...

    Pulled Beef and Pork, and Ribs for the family

    My family (7 adults and 2 kids) is going to Blue Ridge for an extended weekend, and we've divided meal duties amongst different family members. As fun as it would be to run my 18.5 WSM at our cabin rental, I don't think it would outweigh the pain of traveling with it in a Prius. I decided to...

    MES to Instant Pot?

    Hello smoking gurus! I had a half day today with my daughter, and I don't have the kinda time that I would like, but I'm thinking this will work. I have a 4 lb pork butt roast that dry-brined with my own rub for 24 hrs, and have enough time (already going) to do 4 hours in the smoker with A...

    Reheating pulled pork and tonight’s dinner

    Hey all, I’ve got a pork butt in the smoker that is for tomorrow’s dinner and was wondering if anyone had tips for reheating it? I figure I’ll pull it tonight and save the juices to add as I heat it tomorrow so it doesn’t dry out in the oven. I would have just made it same day, but the in laws...

    Overnight rub - too wet now?

    I put the rub on a pork butt last night for smoking today. This morning I find quite a lot of juice in the bag; should I dry the butt and/or apply more dry rub before it goes in the smoker? Any advice welcome!

    Hey guys. Been a lurker here for a long while and have learned so much from you all. Looking for some help with my pork butt technique. Over the years I've gone back and forth between leaving the butt on the grate for the entire cook and foiling at around 160 degrees. In my experience I've...

    Pork Butt Overnight Temp Drop - BGE

    I think I'm safe here, but wanted a second opinion. I put an 8lb pork butt on the big green egg at midnight last night. Grate temp settled in at 280. I went to bed at 1am with the grate temp around 250, I figured it was still adjusting back to 280 with the cold pork dropping the temp a bit. I...

    Finished Pulled Pork on a RecTec

    Once a month at a local grocery/butcher shop, they have a truckload meat sale, where they bring in tractor trailer loads of meat and you walk through the truck and pick your meat out. I really enjoy this sale as you get some pretty good deals. Picked up 2 of butts, 2 slabs of ribs, and some full...

    HOT & FAST BUTT, with JUDY'S PRETZEL BUNS, THANKS MossyMo!

    After seeing MossyMo's thread with PP on a pretzel bun. I asked Judy if she thought she could bake some pretzel buns. She said yes & I had a butt in the freezer, so the adventure begins. I have always smoked butt's at 210-225 for 18-20 hours. But after my success with the hot & fast brisket on...
