First Smoke - Pork Butt /w qview
The first smoke was a great success - the 6lb'er finished in a little over 8 hours, and the 4lb'er took about 7 hours or so. Took some notes throughout of what to do different next time, though not sure when next time will be. Here's the 6lb butt, during the pulling - the meat came out super... -
First Smoke - Pork Butt /w qview
Here we are, 6 hours in on the big guy, and 3 hours in on the little guy. Just double wrapped the big guy in some tinfoil, he was at about 175 when I wrapped him. The little guy is at about 163 right now, gonna wrap him within the next hour or so, and then toss some corn on the cob on the top... -
1st smoke and disappointed
sorry to hear the first smoke was a disappointment. I'm doing my first smoke today, so far so good. Hope your next one turns out better. -
First Smoke - Pork Butt /w qview
here's the 4lb'er unwrapped about to go on the smoker and here's the 6lb'er, after about 3 hours on. Sprayed it with some apple juice and gave it a end over end flip. can't wait! -
WSM lid temp out of whack
I bought a WSM earlier this week, and I am doing my first smoke now. In getting it fired up, the lid temp was reading right along with the temp at the grate (via a probe through a potato). I tested the probes in boiling water and an ice bath yesterday, and they seemed to be within 1-2 degrees...- kase

First Smoke - Pork Butt /w qview
After some waffling back and forth between brisket, pork butt, or ribs, I decided on pork for the first smoke. I got a 6.5lb and a 4.5lb butt, bone in, and they were trimmed a little down to an even 6 and 4 pounds. Rubbed them with Jeff's rub, wrapped em, and tossed them in the fridge... -
The Webber Bullet Smokers
just figured i'd point out that the WSM 18.5" and 22.5" are $260 and $377 on amazon right now, which they were at $298 and $398 yesterday. Kinda irks me, I bought the 18.5" for $268 from their "amazon warehouse deals", because it was listed as a damaged box, but still factory sealed. Smoker...- kase

BOOO Blue! I've gotta root for the bucks, being the hometown team and all. That, and Tressel coached at my college (Youngstown State, where he won 4 I-AA championships) before coming to OSU. Anyhow, the Weber was delivered tonight, here's a pic of it sitting out on the patio. You can see my... -
Pepper Pollination Question
You can see more pics over in the "Small Spaces" forum, where I posted pics from both June 12 when things were planted, as well as the pics from tonight. Here's some pics of just the pepper plants: The two banana peppers, side by side. The two bell pepper plants. The three jalapeno plants... -
My Apartment Patio Garden
Thanks for the comments! No tomatoes, as I'm not a big tomato eater, so I'd rather use the limited space on peppers. Hopefully I'll be into a house by next spring, so I'll be able to go bigger with a backyard garden. So here is what the main bed looks like now - the herbs have been removed...- kase

My Apartment Patio Garden
Since I posted a bit about my peppers in the pepper area, figured I'd make a post here about my 'small space' garden. My apartment has a small 3x5 foot area in the patio where no concrete was poured. After letting it sit last year with nothing but weeds growing, this year I decided to do...- kase

I bit the bullet and ordered the 18.5 WSM, it should be here Thursday....pretty excited, i've got the charcoal, chimney starter and some hickory, mesquite and apple wood chips awaiting the arrival, thanks to some home depot and lowes gift cards. Now I just gotta figure out what I'm gonna try... -
Pepper Pollination Question
Regarding fertilizer, the fertilizer I used was a 12%-3%-13% nitrogen/phosphate/potash, also with 1% sulfur, .75% iron, and .35% manganese. I used their guideline of 1 tablespoon per square foot, and it is labelled as a 'slow-release' food. I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff though, so... -
Pepper Pollination Question
Thanks for the responses. I only planted them about three weeks ago, I got them from a local nursery when they were already maybe 6-8" tall. I wasn't expecting anything so quick, but the banana peppers started flowering pretty quickly, and the three peppers that are growing are maybe 2-2.5...
