    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...

    Meat shopping in Europe

    Hello all, Just moved to Belgium with the military and am having a hard time finding quality beef. I’m shopping almost exclusively at Carrefour, but their cuts of beef are all very very lean and so far everything I’ve cooked has been a bit chewy. Anyone here have advice on where to shop for...

    New to this, please help. Pork scotch

    Hello! I am from Australia so some of our cuts are named different I think. I went to the butcher and asked for pork shoulder or butt and they gave me a pork scotch and said it was good for pulled pork. I’ve had it in the smoker 3.5 hours and it is not reaching a stall yet. It’s 5 pounder and...

    Smoked gammon/ham exterior very dark

    I have decided to make a gammon/ham for Christmas this year, so I made a test one recently and had some friends over for an early Christmas dinner. We call it gammon on my side of the world so I will refer to it as gammon from now on :emoji_grin: I used the equilibrium dry-cured method and...

    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...

    Pork Shoulder Rotisserie

    Well, bought a pork shoulder. Put it on the rotisserie on my Napoleon. Next time I'll take the bone out and truss it up tight so that it's even. Basted it with some Diana's Honey Garlic BBQ Sauce, every 15 minutes for the last hour. It turned out pretty good, for a cheap piece of meat.

    Pulled Pork for the nephew w/qview

    As the title says I cooked PP for our nephews birthday celebration. First off I hate people that work in the meat department when they think they are butchers but they are really stocking clerks. So I go to a local store to get some butts that are on sale. Found them but they weren't cryo packed...

    Pork Shoulder

    I defrosted a pork shoulder to check out if the firmware for my GMG is working for a longer cook. I have a mesh network at my house and it was a problem. I am on a prototype firmware and had to see how it works for a longer cook. I cut the shoulder into two pieces, I just wanted more surface...

    Hello! Or as we say down here in Florida, "Alligator hurricane tourist hockey"

    Hi all, Checking in from beautiful Seminole, FL. Moved down here with the military last year, and that's part of my serendipitous foray into smoking meat! I'm originally from Massachusetts, and growing up there meant that "BBQ" was burgers and dogs, steaks, and grilled seafood. The Army has had...
