    Pork Shoulders and Brisket Flat w/QView

    Thanks Dude, My tests were inconclusive probably because I used different cuts. If I tried it on both halves of the butt, I probably could accurate report my findings. Both were moist, the shoulder had a better smoke ring the butt had more flavor. That just means that I got to do this all over...

    Pork Shoulders and Brisket Flat w/QView

    Thanks Rivet, I stumbled upon at my local ShopRite Supermarket. I was trying to find Lard or Manteca. I went to 4 different stores. I guess they don't make it any more with all the concern about polyunsaturated fats. Holy Smokes, AKA Kevin

    Anyone on here with a ProQ Excel 20?

    Thanks Rob. I've cooked at a comp using 2 WSM's before. I was really impressed. They were rock solid at keeping the temps. I'm curious about the ProQ's ability in holding temps. Or has anyone developed any tricks or techniques in doing so. Holy Smokes, aka Kevin

    JDT, They're $359 at Fredsmusicandbbq.com. I was at their store on Saturday for a Brisket cooking class. I bought a floor model Excel 20 for $199 and a Stacker for $89. Got a great deal.

    Grrr! Ive got to take my new Brinkmann verti back

    Rob, I had the same problem. My top handle snapped off when I was putting mine together. I didn't use hardly any pressure. Thanks for confirming my suspicion that the handle was glued on. I bought the last one at HD that evening and I didn't want to take it back/get refund... I simply drilled...
