    shoulder roast

    Smokzilla- I do Chuckies to medium and even rare. The trick is to slice the meat thin when you serve it. I find it very tasty this way.

    Help keeping the smoke going

    You might also try using chucks instead of chips. I find on my Weber 650 Gasser I can only get 20-30 minutes out of chips but chunks usually will last close to an hour.

    Poll do you foil your ribs & butts???

    I don't smoke either while on the smoker. I do wrap in foil before putting in the cooler though. Then I prefer my butts to sit in the cooler for at least a couple of hours. Ribs need ti sit for at least 1/2 hour.

    Goin for it...!

    Can't stress enough that you need to use a themometer in the meat to determine doneness. Butts can stall for hours. Always use a thermometer and plan on the meat getting doen 3 hours before it will be needed. this way you should not run into problems with it getting done late. If it gets to temp...

    Pork Loin Help please

    I have a rack of Pork on the smoker right now. I will leave in the smoker to 155 then foil and put in the cooler for at least an hour before serving. They don't dry out this way and I have even left them in the cooler for as long as 3 hours. they will still be hot and moist this way.

    How do you get meat from the smoker?

    I have had a similar pair of gloves for years. They came with our Showtime Rotisserie. They have been indispensable and I am going to have to buy a new pair soon.

    New guy with questions on Boston butt

    I did a couple of butts a couple of weeks ago. They were Smoked to 190 and then wrapped an placed in the cooler for 4hrs. Actually took them to my sisters across town. After 4hs off the heat they were still too hot to pull without thermal gloves. You should be fine.
