    chops

    I bought a bunch of pork chops. Had them cut little over an inch thick. How well do they smoke up. About how long do you think they would take? dmack

    thermometers

    I have now collected a few thermometers. I made the mistake of buying a couple cheapies and have problems with each thermometer sending its signal to other monitors. Last weekend we had a couple people using the same type of thermometer. So, we had questions about whose temp we were seeing on...

    Pulled Pork question

    No offense to Delta but I'm going to borrow a reply I typed to another post... Without exception my pork tests the best when reheated. It seems that right out of the smoker when pulling its okay. But when I pull it and refrigerate or freeze, thaw, and then add finishing sauce its awesome. I like...

    Pulled pork tastes like pork roast

    Without exception my pork tests the best when reheated. It seems that right out of the smoker when pulling its okay. But when I pull it and refrigerate or freeze, thaw, and then add finishing sauce its awesome. I like finishing sauce but I know not everyone is a fan of vinegar. I try to add just...

    Steven Raichlen books

    I have his book on Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades. I have used many of his recipes all with excellent results. The thing I like is that if you are after something that's a little "out there" this is the place to look for it. dmack

    A great success

    Last week I mentioned that I would be involved with a major smoke event on Friday and Saturday (today). So we had 2 adjoining campsites at Saylorville Reservoir for the smoking (last night) and a shelter reserved for the serving (today). We had 6 smokers and two Weber kettles going. 6 pork...

    Cajun turkey injection sauce

    Forgot to ask for this on my Meatwave post-does anyone have a good cajun turkey injection sauce recipe? I plan on just basting with garlic butter maybe with a little cajun seasoning in it. And yes, I will be brining. dmack

    It's a Meatwave!

    Group of us are gathering our smokers and doing a big smoke for about 50 people this weekend. We have 2 campsites (for the all night smoke) and a shelter (for the serving) reserved for this Friday and Saturday. It sounds like we've got a couple briskets, at least 3 pork butts, a 14# turkey, and...

    Food safety with pulled pork

    Alright I bagged it. Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try a different finishing sauce this time (one I found in a book I have-I've always used SoFlaQuers). I also am partial to mustard sauces as opposed to BBQ (red) sauces, so I'm going to try to put something together. I'll let you know the...

    Food safety with pulled pork

    Quick question for you veterans.Yesterday I smoked for the 4th, I pulled it this morning (had it resting in a cooler overnight-6hrs, hot to the touch this am). Anyway, I need it Saturday noon. Its fine in the fridge until then right? I figured if I froze it probably by tomorrow morning I would...

    Holiday pre-smoke

    Rick I am catching the drippings.Last time I didn't and it seemed a bit dry even with finishing sauce. Sorry I can't remember the other poster's name. Yeah I can get some 1/2". I think I'll give that a try. dmack

    Holiday pre-smoke

    I am taking pulled pork up to Mason City for the 4th. So decided to do the smoke today. Kind of nice to not have to get up real early. I also got a load of apple, hickory, and maple last night. So, as you'll see I had it all goin' on today. Little smokin', little chain saw work, some splittin'...

    I am in the middle of a 2 butt smoke right now. Will be posting pix later. Just wanted to check though. The last time I tried to add pictures is just showed the link and you would have to click to go to the pix. I use PhotoBucket. Anybody know what I'm doin' wrong? dmack

    burn barrel users

    Question for any of you offset smokers that use burn barrels-do you have any tricks you use to keep from getting a lot of ash as you add the embers to the firebox? I started with a basket of unlit lump. As my apple began to burn I have been adding the embers to the basket. I just hate the ash...

    Pulled Pork au Jus?

    I would agree the drippings alone aren't much to speak of. Last month I was at a competition sampling the pork the competitors put out for tasting. At one camp they had the pork and then a bowl of a dark colored liquid. Naturally I dipped and ate. Yikes!! The old gentleman said, "We call it pig...

    It's On!

    Glad you got those temps figured out. One thing I'd recommend-don't know if its possible mid-smoke go with chunks and lump charcoal. They last longer than chips. If not just watch for that thin blue smoke (tbs). Another thing, many times when the smoke stops all you have to do is shake the pan...
