    First Boston Butt

    when you let the meat rest in the cooler do you leave it in a foil and wrap in a towel or take it out of the foil and use a towel only?

    Smokin in Oregon

    I'm using a brand of lump char called Cowboy Brand. I got it at Jerry's, there are two stores in the Eugene/Springfield area. Have you smoked in the winter with all the rain and wind yet?

    Brinkmann upright low temps

    I'm having a hard time getting the temp over 200 in a brand new Brinkmann upright. I just got it two weeks ago and am brand new to smoking. The meat turns out good, but it takes twice as long and I'm not getting the "crust" on the outside like I hoped. Any suggestions???

    I usually can't get it above 200. Last weekend got it to 250 and put the meat in and it never rose above 200 again. I'm thinking the thermo on the smoker is no good??
