Got the mes loaded down w/ cold meat and my temps took a nose dive .

I kept it set at 270 and it was 260 or so when i loaded it. Temp dropped to 135 before recovering. Put the meat on at 6:30 pm Ribs sprayed w/ apple juice were done at midnite. (no foil) Brisket and butts both hit a stall .around 2:30 am and butts started up at 3:30 and brisket around the same.

 Thanks for looking!    Bob
 
Wow, Bob!!  You sure cooked enough for an army! Very generous of you to give that to the friends that gave you the veggies. Bet they enjoyed this treat!
 
Wow thats a big smoke and it all looks outstanding

Great smoke & Qview Bob!

I have a hard time shopping for meats at Sams without filling the cart too.  But then I figure if you are going to fire the smoker up, might as well fill it up!  Just like you did.

You said this was the best smoke you have done -- what do you think made it so good?  Did you do something different?

Great job!
 
Yes i did two things different. Lately i have been mixing wood chip types .This time i went w/ all apple.

 and i came up w/ a new (to me) binder to hold the rub and a new rub.

 There is a wiki giving directions on making both.
 
Looks great!  I'm surprised you had any ribs left after waiting for the rest of the stuff to finish.  It would have been rib-nap, rib-nap etc and then where's-the-ribs?-nap.

All that looks awesome!  I've been using straight apple wood too, and I like it best.

Got a link to the wiki?
 
all you have to do to read wikis on smf is when you look at the bar at the top of the page click wikis and when you get to the wiki page click all wikis and it will show you a list of all wikis. click on emans pig rub. if you try it let me know what ya think.
