Injection per pound ratio?
I am smoking a few pork butts this weekend, and I have never used an injection before. My pulled pork has always been plenty moist, so I've never felt like I had to use an injection. But I want to try it this weekend to compare. My question is how much injection fluid to put in the meat, like... -
In need of fattie tips
I have thought that the sausage gets too warm when rolling it out, and that putting it in the freezer for a bit might help. How long though? 5 minutes? 10? 30? -
In need of fattie tips
I have smoked a few fatties over the past year or so, including two in the past couple of weeks. Mine are usually basic breakfast ones, with eggs and cheese inside. And I have not yet done a bacon weave on any of them. I have the hardest time rolling mine and getting them to look as uniform... -

Mold in smoker
I have a Weber bullet that I have not used for about six months. I am planning on smoking ribs and chicken tomorrow. Tonight I looked inside my smoker and there is a lot of mold growing around the charcoal ring. The food grates have been out of the smoker since the last time I used it. ...- muley05

What do you store your rub in?
I'm planning to make a batch of Jeff's rib rub tonight, but I don't know what to store it in when I am done. I'd prefer a quart size or so container, with an air tight lid that can also double as a shaker. Any of you know where to get something like that?- muley05

for experienced abt guys i have a question
I bought a jalapeno corer at Cabela's, and it is awesome for making ABTs. I made a few batches before I bought the corer, and it was hard to get all the membrane and seeds out. Not anymore. And the corer was only $5 I cut the tops off the jalapenos, then just the corer to get all of the...- muley05

Smoking freezer burned chuck shoulder
Thanks for the replies. I never even considered that the meat would be "spoiled" or otherwise unsafe to eat. I just thought that because of the freezer burn issue, it might not, and probably wouldn't, taste as good as if it was fresher.The meat was put in the freezer the day I got it home from... -
Smoking freezer burned chuck shoulder
I bought a chuck shoulder that was about 30 pounds total back in October. I smoked about 2/3 of it then, and put a hunk that was about 9 pounds in my freezer. It has only been wrapped in standard grocery store wrapping, basically saran wrap. It is obvioulsy now May, so the meat has been in... -
Pulled brisket vs. pulled chuck roast
I pulled a brisket a couple of months ago, and it was very good. Not dry at all. Based on all the recommendations here, I'll probably do a roast instead. By the way, are you jminion of the famous Minion Method? I use that every time to start my WSM....... -
Pulled brisket vs. pulled chuck roast
Next weekend, I was planning to smoke a full brisket, and then pull the whole thing. I cannot slice it because I will be travelling, and pulling will be much easier while on the road. Would I be better off doing a chuck roast instead and pulling that? I have never done a chuck roast. Would... -
American Royal BBQ Championship
Like KC Jayhawk said, you DO NOT have to know anyone competing to enjoy the American Royal BBQ. Friday night, which is the best night for a "party" atmosphere, it costs about $10 to enter. Then many of the bigger team spaces will allow you to enter for $10 or so, and then it is all you can eat...- muley05

ABTs on a regular grill
I'm semi-bumping this because I am going to cook some ABTs on a gas grill this weekend. With the grill we have, you cannot only have part of the burners on. They are either on or off. There is a small gate above the main grate that I think would be best to put the ABTs on. I will set the...- muley05

Brisket - After the smoke question
This trip is going to happen in about a month, so it will be a little while before I post results, but I will post them. The trip is to watch my Missouri Tigers take on the Texas Longhorns in Austin. I live in KC. -
Brisket - After the smoke question
Traveling in a pickup truck, and it is about a 13 hour drive. I don't think it will hold in a cooler with towels for that long, which is why I am planning to pull the whole thing. If I was doing it at home, I would likely slice it, but pulling it will be much easier while on the road. I doubt...
