    Help - Smoking my first pork butt tomorrow

    Well, sadly something went awry... The meat wouldn't shred very well. It was tough, flavorful but tough. The bark wasn't too prominent. All in all it was tasty as sliced pork. But I was really bummed it didn't come out as I had hoped. So I figure it was either too hot in that smoker or the...

    Help - Smoking my first pork butt tomorrow

    Update: Double wrapped the butt, added some spray (3-1 Apple Juice / CM Rum) then popped the butt in the oven. I have the oven a little higher than recommended, but I think it will be ok. It should be ready to pop into the cooler in a few mins. Ill take some pics then.

    My First Smoker - Smoke Hollow 34 LP

    Thanks for all the comments, I have a spare tank in the garage, and one on my grill. So I can swap if needed. I think I want to install a needle valve on it to control the fire a little better. Someone mentioned throttling the gas control knob between Off & High, this really seemed to make a...
