    Anyone have any advice for smoking a 15lb boar butt? Which rub?

    I have a real nice butt from a wild boar. Its about 15lbs. Should I cut it in half? what kind of rub/chips would you use? I have a feeling this thing is going to take forever to smoke.

    New Char-Griller Comes On-line in Minnesota

    I built a little house for mine out of plywood, just drilled holes in the corners and attached each top and bottom of the with heavy wire. The top was only attached on back and it was 4" long than the side so it would rest on the front part and open like a chest. Drilled a 5x5 hole for the...

    Had to put out fire in Char Griller smoker w/ extingisher. How do I clean it now?

    The inside is ok and all the paint on the outside looks new. But I think I will be starting another fire to fix a problem that a fire started. After I power wash it of course. I don't think I had enough baking soda to put it out. It was going pretty good.

    Your best EATS in NYC

    Can't go wrong with pizza. Or a nice old Italian restaurant. Anywhere on Arthur Ave in little italy will be good.

    Had to put out fire in Char Griller smoker w/ extingisher. How do I clean it now?

    Sounds good. I used a class D (i think) chemical extingisher. Some nasty stuff you want to get out of there.

    Had to put out fire in Char Griller smoker w/ extingisher. How do I clean it now?

    i used my Char griller smoke w/ side firebox as a charcoal grill last night. Ive done it in the past but I guess I had a ton of grease in it from recent smokes. The grease lit up realy quick and temps were extremely high. Closed the dampers and the stack but it wouldn't go out. After I waited...

    Can get ribs to fall off the boner or tender. What am I doing wrong?

    Wow, good point. I think I used way to much dark brown sugar. It doesnt say "raw" just says pure. What negative effect would the slower airflow from the baffel mod have?

    That sounds like it will help keep them moist. Its not the blue pills, its the blue cans!

    Can get ribs to fall off the boner or tender. What am I doing wrong?

    For the terrible typer am I sorry for not proof reading. I "can't get ribs to fall of the bone" These little laptop keys are too small! I have done 3 smokes with baby back ribs. But they just done seem right. Yesterday I did 2 racks, smoked for 6 hours, temps were between 210 to 245. Mostly...

    Got a CharGriller for $155! Football cutouts!! & how to setup the firebox?

    Its not too bad. But you would never think you would have the assemble it this way. You figure it some nuts and bolts then they bring up hammering and cutting off 1/4 of the side of the unit. Once I get the right sawzall blades ill be good to go for the super bowl. Thanks Guys. Have a good one.

I had no idea you could make jerky out of it. It seems like the meat is too delicate. I useually make jery in my oven hanging meat strips...
