    Qview test with a gorgeous butt....

    interesting. my only concern with finishing it in the smoker, with and without foil is it drying out. I've had pulled pork at a few BBQ places and none of them are worth a damn. Mine is extremely juicy, and is pulled right in the juices from the meat that are in the aluminum pan after it...

    Qview test with a gorgeous butt....

    Interesting. But after it's wrapped in foil, you're pretty much just wasting wood right? That was my theory anyways....smoke doesn't get through foil, so what's the difference between that and foiling in the oven....?

    Qview test with a gorgeous butt....

    yes, but never have. is there a huge difference in taste? I smoke the way I do only because that's how I was taught....maybe I should leave it in longer next time. how long though? Also, to be honest...It's so convenient to just have it in 3 hours...all that babying the wood, checking and...

    pork butt that is....ha I generally give them a rub down, and onto the smoke for at least 3 hours straight, take it off, into an aluminum pain with very tight foil, and into a 300* oven for another 3-4hrs. After it rests a bit, it generally falls apart with a few forks and looks like so...

    going to attempt first brisket

    Hmm sounds good. What's the benefit in trimming the fat prior to cooking as opposed to afterwards? Also I've seen some people score the fat all the way down to the meat, and use their rubs all the way in the cracks and such. I'm definitely pro-rub so I think I'm going to try a rub on the...

    going to attempt first brisket

    I've done countless butts/ribs/chickens but I have yet to tackle the brisket. I'm new to the forums, but know a little about the smoking process. Anyone have any hints or "must-do"s for a brisket? with butts i usually smoke for 3-4 hours, then foil in the oven for another 3-4 hours and it...

    the new guy?

    Guess I'm the new guy around here. Joined b/c one of my friends is a member and I felt like joining in on the fun. I used to smoke on a weber charcoil grill, with an electric heating element and a pie dish on top filled with wood. I upgraded a few months back to a brinkman two rack vertical...
