    This weekends 4th of July Smoke. Rub Question

    I can't wait for Sunday. I'm smoking two chickens, one butt, and one rack of baby backs(ribs are all for the chef). I made up a batch of Jeff's Rub a  couple weeks ago.

    No foil butt, first time, update it's done!!!

    Looks Great! I am gonna do the no foil on my next butt! I have a WSM as well. The last time I smoked a butt(foiled), My WSM held at 225 for the entire smoke without adding any more charcoal.

    first smoke on the WSM

    am i confused

    I always Brine my Bird. However, I got some good advice on this site about Brining which is, If you Brine, leave the salt out of the rub or cut it in 1/2 or more. I usually just leave the salt out of the rub.

    prepping for beer can chicken

    I have heard of people using dr. pepper and orange juice instead of beer. I have not tried it. I always use beer. Last time, I had my chickens all prepped and ready to and realized I did not have any can beer, only bottles. So I poured out two cokes, washed out the cans, and added beer. I'm sure...
