    Questions on my pulled pork

    I did my first successful pulled pork smoke this weekend. I followed the instructions in the pulled pork sticky and it turned out great. I also did a couple fattys and some ABTs. I do have a couple of questions I was hoping you could help me with. 1. I wrapped the pork in foil once it hit...

    New Smoker and My First Fatty

    It's Done! Actually, I don't know if I can call them fattys since I made them pretty thin. I was hoping to cook them fast. I'll try and post some pics. Keep your fingers crossed. I made four fattys from three pounds of JD sausage. I made one plain, one with pepperjack cheese, one with...

    Seasoning the new GOSM

    Hey Everyone, My new smoker should be getting here today. I am seriously excited and can't wait to get home. I know that the first thing that I need to do is season the smoker. After reading through the posts it looks like you need to spread oil on the walls of the smoker and then bring the...

    How much meat do I need?

    I am planning on making some pulled pork for a birthday party. We will have about 18 people there. Does anyone know how much meat I will need for that many people? I have never made this before so it should be interesting to see how it turns out! Also, I am planning on using Jeff's Naked...

    Help Choosing a Smoker

    I am looking at upgrading to a new smoker. I currently have a cheap Char-broil water smoker. I have been looking at offset smokers since they seem to have more room for more meat. I was looking at spending about $200 and was hoping to get some ideas from you guys. The smoker I currently have...

    Getting under my skin

    Okay, I have ready on too many posts that you can put rubs and whatnot under the skin. HOW DO YOU GET UNDER THE SKIN. I smoked a chicken the other day but just wasn't sure how to do it without breaking the skin.

    Temp Help

    OK, this is probably a terrible question but I am too new and inexperienced to know the answer. I have read how to keep constant high heat with the minion method. Now how do you measure that heat? I smoked my first chicken last weekend and tried using a meat thermometer to measure the...

    New Smoker

    I purchased a Char-broil H2o smoker at a garage sale a while back. It came with an instruction booklet on how to put it together but not how to use it. When I went online to look for instructions, I looked at the booklet I had to find the model. It says it is a H2O Demo. Does anyone know...
