    Pork Butt Reheat

    I'm smoking a pork butt Saturday to take to work Monday. Any suggestions on how I can reheat it in the oven so it doesn't get dried out? People have been begging m to bring one in and I don't want to screw it up. Do I reheat it fast or slow? For how long? At what temperature?  It's about 7-8lbs...

    Another hardwoon char question...

    Couple of my friends got into a tiff over this. I just bought some BGE charcoal. I'm trying to organize the yard and was wondering if I kept the charcoal in a rubbermaid bin lined with a black trash bag, will that affect the charcoal at all, especially in the heat of summer?

    BBQ Turkey Brine...?

    I bbqed a turkey a couple of weeks ago and it came out OK. The temp of my smoker got a little out of control so I kept having to move it around to the cooler parts of the smoker. The brine didn't work out to well, though. Should I loosen the skin so the brine gets under it more? I used a brine...

    Turbinado or Brown Sugar

    I've heard good things about both Turbinado sugar and Brown sugar for rubs. Which do you guys think is best? Brown sugar rubs seem to stick better, but Turbinado rubs take longer to burn.

    How Long to Smoke?

    I read Richard McPeake's "The Art of Smokology" and he wrote that you shouldn't use wood smoke for more than two hours during a cook. After the two hours are up, he says to just use lump. I've also seen people use wood for the duration of a cook. What do you guys think is better? Also, what...

    Can't find wood in L.A.!

    Im having a hard time finding large logs/chunsks of wood in L.A. (at least where I live). Can I just throw handfuls of smaller chunks ( like from the "charcoalstore.com") on the coals in the firebox? There is a Barbecues galore near me, but they dont have much. Any ideas? JMP

    Meat Thermometer ideas?

    When using a remote probe thermometer, can I leave the probe in my meat while it smokes in my wood smoker or will the lid crush the wire? My sister uses one on Thanksgiving on her turkey, but a smokers lid and an oven door are way different, right? Joey
