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...
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?
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...
I read the notes the site gave about starting a wood fire and starting a charcoal fire. I've used my smoker several times (Horizon Marshall) and each time I've had trouble with the cooking temp. I've been starting out with lump charcoal and then adding wood when the coals are glowing to get the...
I'm smoking a Turkey in a couple weeks. I couldn't smoke one on Thanxgiving because my sister accused of trying to steal her bird. Anyway...I read on a seperate website that spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise on a turkey prior to smoking will both hold the rub on better and crisp the skin. It...
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.
Hey guys. I was wondering, I'm smoking something for the first time and I chose a pork butt. Its a basic 8 lb. pork butt, but there's a layer of fat on the bottom. Should I remove it? Cook it fat side up or down? I'm doing it Saturday so any help would be great. THANX!

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...
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?

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?

Seeing as I don't the savvy or the skills to make my own wood smoker, I find myself in the position of having to buy one. (Grrrrr) Which do you guys suggest, Horizon backyard smokers or Yoder smokers? Im leaning toward yoder because they simply provide more information and images of their...
Hi all. My name's Joey and I'm fairly new to the world of smoking. Ive seen people smoke meat and I have a good idea of what Im getting my self into. CANT WAIT! Im still deciding which smoker to buy. I think Im going to go for the Wichita by Yoder Smokers. I know its huge and more than I need...
I have a general sense of how to start a fire in a wood smokers fire box, but I was wondering if anyone out there had a really good way of doing it. Also, my smokers fire box has two trays (Its a Yoder Smoker Wichita). I know its big and expensive and I dont need one, but (like my guitars) I...
