    Best place in LA to get a pork butt or pork shoulder?

    Hello all! It's been a while since I've been on here and I was recently inspired to smoke a pork butt or shoulder (to be honest i don't know the difference, I'm still new to this). I've been avoiding doing long smokes because I did not want to wake up super early to start it and get it ready...

    Another Chuckie question

    this is all great advice! How do you guys usually reheat your meat? In a microwave? in the oven?  Also, in the pan you use to catch your drippings, do you usually put a little water in it?

With the indirect heat, the burgers seem to be cooking too slowly and with closing the...

    Smoking a 20-pound bird for an hour or two, then finishing in oven: Recipe for disaster?

    hey all, I have a similar situation as enfuego, my aunt wants me to to make a 18lb turkey for thanksgiving and I told her it's better to do a 12-14lb one instead if she wants me to smoke it but she won't budge on the weight. So if I started it in the smoker for 2 hours at 300degrees, and then I...

    Question on smoking a Turkey

    Although I agree that cooking the day of would be better, I need to have it ready earlier so I have no choice but to do it the day before. In a situation like this, what would you guys say is the best way to keep it overnight and the best way to reheat it the next day?

    Tri tip on wood plank??

    It only takes you guys 30 minutes?? The last time I made it it took me close to an hour and a half. Do you use direct or indirect heat? Also, if you foil it, doesn't the foil prevent the smoke flavor from getting in?

    Tri tip on wood plank??

    So I was at my local supermarket today and I originally went for bread but whenever I stop by the market I always go to the meat section first. Anyway, while I'm there staring at the meat a person next to me starts complaining to me about the lack of meat selection and then somehow we start...
