    Labor Day Smoke (w/ Q-view)

    Here are the pictures of the final results. The brisket, in my opinion, was a bit over done. But the flavor was still very good. The ribs were outstanding. The meat was definitely "fall off the bone" and very tender. I am extremely sleepy and need to get to bed. All in all, it was a very...

    Labor Day Smoke (w/ Q-view)

    Labor Day Smoke (w/ Q-view)

    Ok, 2:30 and I am beginning to wonder if I had hit the plateau when I posted before. I have kept the internal grill temp at 225-240 degrees, but the therm in the brisket dropped 7 degrees and is sitting there. I just mopped and flipped again. I will check i n1/2 hour to see where the temp is.

    Labor Day Smoke (w/ Q-view)

    Last Spring we dined at the original Gates and loved it. We tried Jack Stacks downtown at Country Club Plaza. It was very good BBQ, but different than Gates. they both have their appeal, but I think I prefer Gates. Any other suggestions for the next time we are in the KC?

    Labor Day Smoke (w/ Q-view)

    Ok, so it is 1am and I have mopped and turned my brisket twice now. Temp is sitting at 139. Had to quickly throw one last piece of hickory to ensure adequate smoke for my smoke ring. I have a pan underneath the grate below the brisket that I am contemplating moving the brisket into once I...

    Well, I have just begun to embark on my biggest smoking challenge yet. To date, all of my prior efforts in smoking have been limited to Boston Butts and a turkey last Thanksgiving. Well, this Labor Day, I decided I was going to cook for my family, my parents and my in-laws. The main entrees...

    4th of July Weekend Smoke (w/ Q-View)

    Update : 5:15 PM - Butts wrapped in foil at 170 degrees and we just hit 190 degrees. Timing is going to be RIGHT ON. Will be able to rest the butts once they hit 205 degrees for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. <mouth watering in anticipation>

    4th of July Weekend Smoke (w/ Q-View)

    Update : 1:00 PM and I believe we have begun the plateau. The temps seem a little low for that, but there has been very little movement in the past hour or so. My chamber temps are consistent at 225 degrees. Have a look: Mmmmmmmmm, good!!

    4th of July Weekend Smoke (w/ Q-View)

    Ok, so now that we have the preliminary info out of the way, on to the good stuff. I already had a 8lb butt from CostCo and was all set to go. Then I found out that we were having MORE people show up. So I needed another butt. However, it is the day of the 4th. CostCo is not open. No other...
