    pulled pork question

    I just did it yesterday. Turned out great! It took about 11 hours to get it to 200 degrees. Let it rest an hour and it pulled fine. I was surprised at how much meat was there. I will have plenty of leftovers. I will do more picnic shoulders after this experience. I think I paid 99 cent a pound...

    CGSP Unmod

    I had a really good smoke last weekend minus some temperature issues that I attributed to using Kingsford. I ended up with a lot of unburned pieces that I believe were snuffed out by the copious amount of ash produced. This week, I went to Lowes and picked up one of the shaker baskets I've seen...

    Sorry about the ribs!! That is a bummer. I ended up having to undo one of my mods during my smoke yesterday as I was having a bit of a struggle keeping my temps up, too. I had added a charcoal basket in the SFB. It worked great at keeping the coals out of the ash. However, there was not enough...

    Long weekend smoke.

    I'm bettin' that Texas-Hunter is right. In spite of the rupture, the fatty still looks pretty tasty. Actually, I didn't know that one could do that! I cooked three fatties today and had some minor cheese leakage, but no ruptures. I'll have to give the pizza fatty a try. Looks good!

    Q, you might want to look at the Charcoal Smoker forum. There is a "sticky" thread that has some good mods for the CGSP. To get you temps up at the grate, you need to extend your smoke stack down to the grate. There is a lot of other good tips. I'm only only my second smoke with my CGSP so I am...

    Foods a cookin'

    Been cooking and prepping all day. I put the shoulder on at about 9am this morning. Fatties and bologna went on around 1pm, I think. I pulled the fatties at 170 degrees, placed them in a foil pan to rest, and put on the chicken leg quarters. I got my ABTs stuffed and ready to go, as well. Here...

The menu consist of a pork shoulder for pulled pork, 3 fatties, chicken leg quarters (was supposed to be turkey legs but they were sold...

    Hello from Tulsa, Oklahoma!

    Sure! This is my first, larger smoker so I am open to all ideas. All I know for sure is that briquettes were a challenge. Is wood a better solution than lump charcoal? I'm willing to try either or both.

    best beer for BBQ

    Chimay is awesome. It is my special occasion beer. I was on a kick of trying new beers about 20 years ago and saw a bottle at the liquor store with a cork. Being that it was in the beer section, it caught my eye. I've been hooked every since. The blue label is my favorite, too. My everyday beer...

    First Char-Griller Smoke

    I had my first smoke with my new Char-Griller Smokin' Pro yesterday. I did a lot of research before deciding on the Char-Griller. I knew when I bought it that I would need to make some mods. When I assembled the unit Friday, I went ahead and did the smoke stack extension and turned over the...
