DAMMMNNNNN You PEOPLE! Now I am hungry. On a related story, tonight I am going to make up about
8 lbs worth of white cheese sauce, like you get in the mexican places. Once I got the ratio of cheese
right for the melting process, I thought, 'man I can sell this at work', lol.

This weekend it is burgers and now I want a pork butt, damn you all. NIIIIiiiccee meat , Steve!
Bob, I hate you. :D

JEEZ, butts were 18 bucks at Kroger today, it wasn't happening. Should have gotten a few two packs last week
onsale, but had NO ROOM. Well at least I have about 9 racks of BBacks. I still have that jones for chicken wings
though. It's gonna be a tough weekend. IN the end I got what I needed to get, a big-a$$ bag of lump charcoal
and some hickory chunks. Check this space on Saturday sometime.

That's sweet Pac, I think you will gain 32 lbs by Fall.

Looks like spare ribs in the morning. It's been many months since I actually smoked spares, been highbrowing it
for so long with the babybacks.

-----------------
3 racks went in, only one survived intact for the camera. Kind of embarassed
by my smoke ring. All I had was little hickory chips, I like chunks, and I had a technique crisis of sorts. but the ribs
looked fine enough after the trouble. The kid downstairs from me is so spoiled. I foiled up his burgers and
a half a rack of ribs, and he asked me, "So what else are we getting?" I said, "What?" He says, "Is that all
you're cooking?" Lil $hi+.

Cool deal Tupac. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.


Brad, hickory chunks or not, those still look good.

thanks guys... looking forward to getting it...

i can buy a 3 year extended warranty for 50 bux... think its worth it?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 
In a strange turn of events I have taken to slathering these things in Sweet Baby Ray's, which I never
did before, liking my ribs as dry as my sense of humor. But as you can see, I need to figure out a way
to get a more effective sear on them to carmelize the sauce. You can see the huge scorch mark
across the top, lol. I am working on a better way.

Not sure about that smoker in particular, but I find all warranties to be crap. They always have ways of
not paying you, you did this wrong, you should have done that. Just money-removal schemes, IMJO

I'm with you on that.
I typically do a pair of Butts at a time, and prefer that they come apart easy as I am usually the only one pulling.

It is a temp thing.
I like to cook a 180-200 for the first 12 or so hours. I typically put it on in the evening on the low side, and I up the cook temp to the 250 + area the next day when I check and refresh.
It also depends on if a temp-drop plays in.

About to put a 6lb boston butt on the smoker. Brined for 12 hours now, due to mother in law not askign me to cook one for her untill late yesterday. Will get pics for keeping thread active sake.

Btw has anyone ever smoked squirrel? I was asked about it yesterday and i had no idea on it.

ucla695 02-05-2011 09:06 PM

Re: What's in your smoker?
 
Ever accidentally choked the fire on a live smoke? Well, I did tonight. :r I was smoking a couple of racks of BBs on the kettle and temps spiked a bit while the lid was off so I closed the top vent (bottom was already closed). :bh. Did some other stuff in the yard and came back to see how things were going. DOH!! Needed a defibrillator. CLEAR!! Quickly fired up 10 or so briqs in the chimney and opened everything up. They should have been done in half an hour from now, but the fire was out for probably half an hour or so. I've never switched from low and slow to HH in one cook...I hope it turns out well. :)

ucla695 02-05-2011 09:27 PM

Just sauced them. Things are A-Ok. :)

Yeah, I have. It's part of the learning process brother and while the kettle smokers have a bit of a steeper learning curve than some other smokers, don't let it faze you, as while it is unfortunate, pork is a forgiving meat and the bricks will help to hold temperatures so things will probably be ok.

If I can ever drop that lil $hi+ in my backyard I will post pics and flavor review.
I dropped one last year and let Ralph walk around with it but feared he would get fleas and lice
off of it as it cooled. Had I been thinking of smoking that weekend I would have skinned it and
smoked it, sure. They knock all the green pecans out of my trees each year, my patio gets littered
with cracked shells.

Mr B 02-07-2011 03:11 PM

Re: What's in your smoker?
 
MMMMMMM Squirrel. Never had it smoked, loved it braised.

OLS 02-07-2011 05:48 PM

Re: What's in your smoker?
 
I am also kind of wary of it smoked. Braised WOULD be tasty. As tasty as squirrel could possibly be anyway.
Gumbo is good.
When I finally got Ralph to put it down, I was stunned by how HEAVY the lil Shi+ was. It was a good 1.5 lbs.+

Squirrel is darn good. I usually fry it... but it is great in Brunswick Stew.

Well, you know as a native Alabamian that's the only way I've ever had it. ;)

Scothew 02-08-2011 09:52 AM

Re: What's in your smoker?
 
Thanks guys. I read up on it in a few places and most people said it turned out tough after it was smoked. Think the meat is a bit to dry adn lean for it. I think grilled would be pretty good if you can keep it tender.

I also didnt get pics of the butt.. my wife had hte camera. It turned out great though.
