    On Saturday I finished smoking a brisket with a Boston Butt on top of it in the smoker (the butt was on the rack above my briskett), call me lazy, or maybe sac religious, but I let the pork fat cap mop my brisket for me and the result was good. I didnt have to do anything but let my butt do the...

    Identifying good smoking wood.

    Anyone tried Ginko Biloba? I have a tree Im ready to prune. You can make tea out of the leaves, so I am figuring that the wood would be smokable. Its a hard wood deciduous tree.

    Tryin' to gauge the smokers internal temp.

    I have one digital thermometer, that I use to check the meat, where do I put the one to monitor the internal smoker temperature. Do I just hang it in there? or what? can it be touching the metal rack? thanks Patohunter

    Its 5:00 AM, do you know where your pork is?

    Well, Its been 8.5 hours and we're currently hovering at 145 degrees. The thermometer hasnt budged for 45 minutes. Im mopping generously every 45 minutes to one hour. Horray for TBS...the meat looks pretty damn good too. Patohunter
