    Sadly...half your pics

    I would recommend using one of the services (such as Earthlink) that has a dial-up accelerator. It will load a blurry pic to greatly speed up your browsing time, then you can load pics individually that you want to see and can see them all. Just a thought. My mom lives out in the country...

    my first countrystyle ribs

    Honestly, you can do whatever you want. It is virtually impossible to mess up the country style ribs. Cook them til they are falling apart, or pull them earlier and eat whole. Personally, I've never had a reason to wrap them. I've put them in a pan with some BBQ sauce to let them simmer in...

    High Heat Brisket (1st Time) with QView

    Got the brisket on a little before noon. UDS ranabout 315* - 335*. A simple rub of salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders and some smoked paprika. Started juts over 6lbs...trimmed off some of the thick/hard fat. Wrapped the brisket with some beef broth at 165*. Into the cooler around 205*...

    Pork Loin Question

    To keep it good and moist, pull it between 140* and 145*. You still want a bit of pink in the middle. There is also a method I remember reading here (or maybe somewhere else, lol) where it's cooked to about 205* like a butt.

    Pork Loin and Ribs Help

    Absolutely...and there doesn't seem to be a happy medium. The I discovered "medium" pork was one of the happiest days of my life! I like the carryover to take me to the 150*. Though when I have guests I don't tell them what it was cooked to...most get scared if they know it has a little...

    Brining Pork Chops

    The brine will thaw them even faster. Should be fine in the fridge. If they aren't fully defrosted as supper gets closer, then try the running water.

    Pork Butt vs. Shoulder

    The Butt is just part of a whole shoulder. That price per pound seems insanely high at the butcher. I'd go with the grocery. For 9lbs, it's probably still a butt. Check to see if it's "natural" or whatever they call it...basically not all shot up with additives.

    Pork Loin and Ribs Help

    Brine the loin in salt, molasses (or sugar) and your rub/spices of choice. The last one I did I brined for about 12 hours, I think. Rub and smoke at 225* to 250* til internal reaches 145*. Wrap and rest for awhile. I'll be juicy and delicious. The brine isn't essential as long as you...
