Hi everyone,

New to smoking, long time griller. 

My name is Doug, I'm a Sous Chef in Green Bay, WI.

I purchased a Masterbuilt Dual Fuel (propane or charchoal/chips/chunks) smoker a few weeks ago.  I got 'er seasoned up and did a pork sirloin roast the first day, simply because most stores here don't carry butts, and I simply couldn't wait.  Had some pretty good results, so today I'm smoking 8# boneless butts. 

I'd like to thank everyone for their efforts here, love the pork sticky and the finishing sauce.  I'll be making my own mango bbq sauce, some barracho (drunken) beans, and a jicama/apple/cabbage slaw to go along with the butts. Since I'm a chef here, I usually get recruited to do the food for my annual dynasty fantasy draft, and  I'll be serving the butts up for the crew tomorrow.

Still getting the hang of maintaining an even temp with the dual fuel.  I fire up the propane burner, which ignites the charcoal/chips/chunks (I'm using hickory chunks and a few apple chips thrown in), and I tend to get a bit of a temp spike, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Once again, thanks to all those putting forth the effort to educate us newbs.  If anyone has questions regarding food safety, I'd be glad to help, since that's one area I'm well versed in.

DD

I'm addicted to this already!  I've found a ton of help already....I'm starting with the basic pork smoke, and its looking good so far....at about 155....moving up to foil time.

When it comes to smoking, I'm just getting started. I've done a pan smoke many times, but this is my first real all day affair....and I'm loving it.  I can't wait to rip that baby up and add the finishing sauce....top it with some slaw, and slap it on a cwb.  My girlfried is drooling already!....but I'm going to be patient...as difficult as it may be.

Was checking out the fatty thread earlier.  Amazing...pork sausage.....stuffed, wrapped in bacon.  I wonder why you call it a fatty?  :P
