    First pulled pork in a few years!

    This is my first attempt at a pork shoulder in about 3 years. After a decent brisket and ribs this turned out really fantastic! 9lb shoulder, dry run only over night. Smoke at 225 for 11 hours with a mix of post oak and hickory. Spray mop with water only every 2 hours or so. Finish the last hour...

    Does altitude affect "stall" time?

    Hi all, I'm new at smoking meat and have run into an issue. I have a GMG pellet smoker that seems to do a good job but twice now I have run into the dreaded "stall" issue. Once with pork shoulders and most recently with a brisket. In both cases the meat reached just shy of 200f and then...

    Offset Noob / Pork Shoulder 1st Try

    Hey all. So I wanted to reach out and ask a few questions to all individuals that cook with an offset. A few weeks ago I purchased a custom built smoker from someone.

    Smoking Pork Shoulder

    Franklin, First I enjoy your show. Your inspiration helped me decide to tackle a big chunk of pork. In Denver we have a few technical problems we had to overcome. Roasting a roast in a charcoal grill is fraught with things which could go wrong. Cooking at 5280 feet above sea level will...
