Re: What's in your smoker?
When doing this, remember to use less salt in your rub or else you can ruin the beans. If you don't want to take that chance you can always just make the beans afterwards using this recipe:...

I liked the first season. The way they can do it, is because competition only helps them to charge more for the real money maker.... catering. Most all of the big boys do catering. They also have BBQ...

Re: What's in your smoker?
That ratio is about right. Have you tried looking over at virtualweberbullet.com for an answer? To me it sounds like you may not be starting the charcoal correctly or the water pan is effecting...

Re: What's in your smoker?
What is the ratio of wood to charcoal that you are using? I find that if I use too many wood chunks, I have a harder time keeping the temp stable.

Re: What's in your smoker?
I do HnF with 3lb chucks all the time. Also, if you notice he, (and American Royal winners who do HnF) trim a lot of the fat off and want them fairly lean for hot and fast. It's up to you, but don't...

Re: What's in your smoker?
What particular cut of meat was it? It doesn't look to be a shoulder. If it was in fact NOT a shoulder, it might be more like smoking pork chops, which IMO is not a good thing for long cooks, but...

Re: What's in your smoker?
I use a variety of places. Ebay is actually a decent place for some good peach, cherry, etc chunks.
I also chop my own and look on craigslist.
I smoke my turkey's around 275-300. I...

Re: What's in your smoker?
I actually prefer my ribs to NOT fall off the bone. Rib meat that falls off the bone, imo, is overdone and becomes soupy.
However, if you want to achieve it, simply cook the ribs longer. When...

Did you get a picnic instead of a Boston Butt?? A picnic is still a shoulder but it is cooked as you would do a ham. If you are talking about a Boston Butt, I have never seen a Butt with skin on it,...

Re: What's in your smoker?
A few questions on your setup will help.
1. What charcoal and wood combo are you using?
2. How long are you waiting before you put on the meat?
3. How long are you smoking the meat for?

Re: What's in your smoker?
I have only done spatchcock for a Turkey on the smoker. It turned out great imo. At 300 F, the 11lb bird was done in 3 hours. Probably could have pulled it before that even. I'll post some pics...

Re: What's in your smoker?
Then it's just the pictures then. What kind of rub did you use?
I can see your point on the texture of the meat. However, the old adage goes "if you're looking, it ain't cooking". By having a good...
