    Pork Butt Price

    I’m smoking up two pork butts for my ministers meeting tomorrow night. I love pulled pork because it’s generally cheap and feeds a good crowd. Today I was in for quite a shock. I haven’t bought pork butts in a while and went to the grocery store after church. Each one of these 10 pound butts was...

    Pork loin on Weber with firebox

    So after recently finishing building an external firebox for my Weber I figured I'd do a pork loin to test it out. Seasoned liberally with Lawry's, coarse salt, coarse pepper, chipotle powder, and cayenne powder. I am definitely a fan of spicy pork, so the more heat the better. Loin went on at...

    My first picnic shoulder (not Boston butt)

    I decided to do something different than the usual Boston butt, and try a picnic shoulder roast. I got it because it was nearly 10 Lbs and lately the butts have been on the smaller side from my usual meat market lately. For starters, the rub is a mix of my own (no measurements, just eyeball...

    Foil wrap faster than paper?

    Hey everyone, the other day I cooked two racks of baby back to compare foil vs. butcher paper wrapping. 275 the whole time, wrapped both after 2.5 hours. After 1 hour wrapped the foil ones were pretty good FOTB (how I like them), but the paper ones needed another full hour. The cuts seemed...

    Pulled Pork on the fly!

    I'd bought about a 4lb pork butt on sale at the local grocery, brought it home and promptly forgot about it. It had been in the fridge for about 5 days when I remembered it, so I figured I'd better get it on the smoker. Wednesday night I seasoned it with a rub consisting of the usual brown...

    Finally, Top Round Perfection

    I haven't smoked a lot on the SmokeFire. My first efforts were discouraging and I'm trying to lose weight. Again. Top round was on sale and I had a hankering. I bought a nice four-pounder and rubbed in some SPOG. Wrapped in butcher paper, it went into the fridge for a good night's sleep. Next...

    Apple cider vs. apple juice brine

    I was reading Jeff's "Smoked Pork Crown Roast" recipe (link). In the recipe, he instructs that the crown roast needs to be brined in "Apple/Honey Brine for Pork Crown Roast" and he gives that recipe as well. My question is how does the use of apple cider vs. using apple juice make a difference...
