    When to apply finishing sauce

    I'm pre-smoking 2 butts for my sisters family BBQ in two weeks. After I pull the butts, do I put Jeff's finishing sauce on them first before freezing in the ziplock bags, or do I wait till BBQ day and apply it then, when the pulled pork is re-warmed? Thanks.

    HEEL ROAST cooking suggestions

    Hey Guys..... My neighbor brought over a "heel" roast for me to smoke tomorrow along with the butts, ribs, and fatties. I looked up what a heel roast was and am wondering if I should just treat this like a butt and cook it for pulling. I would love to do it med. rare and slice on my slicer but...

    Ribs, Loin

    Well, I KNOW this looks rushed but I had to post a pic or.."it didn't happen". The ribs are spares that I got cheap..89 cents a pound. They tasted cheap...lol...well, it was my fault. I treated them like BB's and learned a lesson. Don't rush. They needed another hour plus in the smoker. They...

    Beef Roast Question

    Doing a chuck roast on the smoker. "IF" I decide to pull it off to slice, what temp do y'all recommend for med. rare? Also, will it be somewhat tender? If the chuck is gonna be tough, I'll just do it like a butt and pull for sammies. It's been on the smoker for about 4.5 hrs and it's at 140...

    What's the Deal With My Pecan?

    This is the first time I'm starting a smoke with pecan. It looks like it's taking forever to get going. Is that normal? The wood is totally dry as is the smoker....It did rain earlier but everything was/is secure. I added some hickory and it seems to combust wayyyy quicker. Is this how it is...

    Oak

    I got some OAK that's been split for about 2 months now. It's stored in a closed garage. Temp in there probably gets in the 90's during the summer. How much longer do I need to wait before I can start smoking with it? Thanks.

    When is the Wood Too Old?

    I hope this isn't a dumb question but I just don't know the answer. When would wood be too old to use? Or is there such a thing? If wood has been chopped and split for a few years and is starting to break down (I guess rot), is it any more good to smoke with? I have a few pieces of hickory and...

    12 Hours?!?!

    Last night on the FoodNetwork, a FAMOUS BBQ house said they smoke their ribs ( I think they were St. Louis Style spares) for TWELVE HOURS at 240 degrees. How can that be? Didn't see any "foiling" going on either.
