Turkey idea for you...ya'll
I have not personally done this, but my uncle has and says it was the best turkey he's ever had. Prepare your turkey as you normally would, but at the same time, prepare a Boston butt and place the butt on the rack above the turkey. The butt sort of bastes the turkey, but also adds the fat... -
Boston Butt = Pork Shoulder?
I've done about 6-7 Boston butts in the past; I really asked because I often times see both, or like in this case, only the shoulder. I may get a shoulder sometime and give it a try just to see. -

Boston Butt = Pork Shoulder?
Interesting read, thanks! I wonder then, since they are two different cuts, according to that chart, is one better than the other for pulled pork? -
Boston Butt = Pork Shoulder?
Sorry if this is a repeat question but I'm used to buying a Boston Butt for pulled pork, but I was at the store and couldn't find anything called a Boston Butt, but saw a pork shoulder; are they one in the same? What other names does a Boston Butt go by? Or, what cuts are essentially the same... -
Lowes Smoker
Get yourself a decent oven thermometer. I got one that will stand or hang and I've been hanging it just above whatever I'm cooking and once I did that I've got it dialed in pretty good. I've left mine for several hours without having to make an adjustment. Now that I know my outer thermometer...- dvan1901

Finally did it - ribs Memphis style
Memphis style traditionally means smoked only with a dry rub, not sauce. -
Finally did it - ribs Memphis style
If there was a prize, you would win. I'm going to be back in Memphis this weekend so I'm going to stock up on both as I like them both and can't get them here. -
Finally did it - ribs Memphis style
One of my goals in getting a smoker was to recreate the ribs we used to get all the time in Memphis. I tried and tried on my grill and they all sucked. Part of that was the grill, but the other part was the cut of meat I was buying. So, armed with my new smoker and two successful Boston Butts... -
Lowes Smoker
I recently got this same smoker. One of the first things I did, at the recommendation of those here, it to ignore the built in temperature gauge. I replaced it with an oven thermometer and noticed that the built in one is about 25-30 degrees off on the high side; it if reads 250, it really is...- dvan1901

Perfect Flame 36" smoker
I judged the temp change by the fairly unscientific method of the built in thermometer, which I haven't calibrated in any way. Just an overall observation from the 2/3 level up where the built in one is. I do seem to get a little better smoke with the vents closed.- dvan1901

Perfect Flame 36" smoker
I just purchased the Perfect Flame 36" smoker from Lowe's, I believe it is also called BBQ Grillware. My question pertains to the lower vents. In reading Jeff's Guide to the GOSM smoker, which is just like this one really, he suggest closing the bottom to vents (they don't full close by...- dvan1901

Question about foil...
I've been reading through the last few days and noticed a lot of people say "I let my xyz get to blah temp and then I put it in foil for 30-40 minutes." My question is, are you taking it out of the smoker and wrapping it in foil and just setting it on the counter? I do this with steaks to let...- dvan1901

New Georgia smoker
Greetings from Georgia. I just purchased the Perfect Flame 36" smoker a couple of days ago and am currently smoking my first batch. A pork tenderloin and a whole chicken; so far so good. Park is currently at 147* and chicken is about 165* after just over 5 hours. I spent 8+ years in Memphis...
