    Beef, it's what's for dinner

    Been a little under the weather lately so watching too much TV. Too much Diners, Drive Ins and Dives has made me hungry for a good burger or sandwich so decided to go check the freezer and see what was growing moss. I found a nice cap off round tip roast begging for attention. Rubbed her down...

    BBQ NOOB first boston butt

    The jury is back, good to great are the opinions, but all went back for a second helping and we're already looking forward to tomorrow's leftovers for lunch lol. Could have grilled the corn for another minute or two to get a bit more kissed by the flames but no complaints there either. Smoker...

    BBQ NOOB first boston butt

    Food Porn She hit 200 at high noon and I foiled and put her in the cooler with a couple towels for 3.5 hours. Looked fantastic when I unwrapped her. Bone came out like it was in warm butter. Nice smoke and bark. Divided it into two and put a splash of BBQ sauce on one and mixed her up good...

    BBQ NOOB first boston butt

    Think I was burning the snot out of it as once I fired it up for the real deal I had ample smoke the first 10 minutes and then it settled into a nice leisurly Sunday walk. I put the butt on the middle rack at 2:30. Unfortunately my receiver doesn't communicate with my transmitter. I have tried...

    I am 5 minutes into the seasoning of my new smoker. HOLY SMOKES BATMAN! I never had this much smoke on my grill unless something was burning! LOL Now I can see why some say you can't really smoke on a grill, there is no comparison to the amount of smoke I am getting off this MasterBuilt. I...

    BBQ NOOB first boston butt

    I have read your wise words and also done some more research, think I will trim the fat cap off and leave the rest, and then smoke it that side down, sounds good in theory. Cooler and towels and newspaper all lined up, check. I bit the bullet and picked up this smoker, well paid for it with...

    Picked up a beautiful butt tonight (honest honey, it's what these guys call the top half of the pork shoulder I swear!) weighing in at 7.92 lbs.

    Can I get some advice on pork shoulder?

    Thanks bigwheel, I will give that a try next time. This time I just double wrapped it and put it back on for another hour or so and she hit 165, I pulled her and let her sit still wrapped on the cutting board for about 30 minutes. The wife and I both loved it so in the end all my trials and...
