    FINISHING SAUCE (for Pulled Pork)

    you can't go wrong with this. It adds just the right touch to get the gamey taste out that is sometimes there with the shoulder.

    Butts and cheese with Q View

    The nice thing about living in the tropics is all the fruit that is available. As for the papaya brine I just follow Jeff's brine recipe for chicken quarters and then I mash up anywhere from a half to a whole papaya and throw it in the brine. Sometimes I even rub the bird down with papaya...

    Help !

    All in all it sounds like it was a good smoke. Did you remove the membrane from the ribs?

    Help...

    you've hit the plateau. Entirely normal, keep your heat steady and it will break after while and then you will be on your way.

    What is everyone smoking this weekend?

    I've got 3-2-1 ribs going right now. Just foiled them up. I'm trying a new wood that is called "wenge". It is a hard wood that they use to make furniture out of here in the Congo. It smells good so far. Everyone have nice memorial day weekend!

    SoFlaQuer's Finishing Sauce (For Pulled Pork)

    This looks great. I want to try this next time I do pulled pork. I can't get cajun seasoning in this part of the world. Any one have any suggestions for a substitute?

    more problems w/ my chargriller

    Are you burning lump? It produces less ash. I just made my own removable ash pan that I slide out from underneath the elevated rack and that seems to work good enough. Eventually I will make a coal box.

    Finished the mods and Q-View

    I used lump charcoal and mango. I've got papaya in the seasoning pile....we'll see how that works.

    I pulled it at 160*. It was incredibly tender and juicy. I had steak sandwiches with the leftovers tonight. A definite homerun with the family!

    Finished the mods and Q-View

    I finished the mods to my cb silver today and got right to work! I did a chicken and a tri-tip. I could tell a difference right away in keeping a steady temp although I still need more practice. Thanks for all of the help!

    NEWBQ from the PNW

    When I'm not in Congo I live in Seattle. Last year while I was home I did lots of smokin with wood that I picked up in my travels on the eastside from orchards and vineyards. Explore the possibilities, you won't be dissapointed!

    Another milestone!

    Yep, I really am in the Congo. At certain times of the year it can be hot but not enough to keep me from smokin!
