    1st time shoulders w/Qview

    They hit 199° at 9:30 so off the grill they came. One before shredding- Wife looked at it and said it looked disgusting. Pulled apart- One bite and she was hooked. Hope to get my sister-in-law who swears she will never eat any smoked meat to try it. You can taste the little bit of sweetness...

    Newb from where Paulie Jr got whacked.

    So I've been wanting a smoker for years. I love ribs and pulled pork and making them in a slow cooker just ain't cutting it. Decided I wanted an offset but didn't want to spend the $200 for a Chargriller. Saved a search on Craigslist for "smoker" and checked it daily after filtering thru the...
