    This weekends 4th of July Smoke. Rub Question

    I can't wait for Sunday. I'm smoking two chickens, one butt, and one rack of baby backs(ribs are all for the chef). I made up a batch of Jeff's Rub a  couple weeks ago.

    No foil butt, first time, update it's done!!!

    Looks Great! I am gonna do the no foil on my next butt! I have a WSM as well. The last time I smoked a butt(foiled), My WSM held at 225 for the entire smoke without adding any more charcoal. I used a bag of Publix Green Wise Lump Charcoal. It would have kept holding 225 for several more hours...

    NICE! I smoked a butt and a beer can chicken myself last weekend. I do love those beer can chickens and my WSM! I have always used Briquettes but I hear folks preaching about how lump is better. Is it? and Why?

    am i confused

    I always Brine my Bird. However, I got some good advice on this site about Brining which is, If you Brine, leave the salt out of the rub or cut it in 1/2 or more. I usually just leave the salt out of the rub.

    prepping for beer can chicken

    I have heard of people using dr. pepper and orange juice instead of beer. I have not tried it. I always use beer. Last time, I had my chickens all prepped and ready to and realized I did not have any can beer, only bottles. So I poured out two cokes, washed out the cans, and added beer. I'm sure...

    Turkey Fattie with Q view

    One word describes this all Turkey Fattie(Turkey Bacon and Ground Turkey) and that word is DRY. The bacon was outstanding though. I probably overcooked it. Being new I tend to do that..

    Smoking my first fattie tomorrow

    I used Jeff's fattie recipe with his Rub. I did the fattie with the website instructions except used all Turkey(the wife does not like pork) I just wonder if I should use a Mop? If so, what would be a good one for both Turkey legs and my Turkey fattie? I can't wait to smoke this thing!

    Turkey Fattie

    Thanks! I'm gonna give this a go this weekend while I'm smoking Turkey Legs. I think I'll try some cheese, mushroom, onion, and wrap the fattie in Turkey Bacon. I will try to remember to take some pics of the legs and the fattie. It could be a disaster but it'll be fun!

    Turkey Fattie

    At what temp and for how long do you smoke fatties for? Also, Do you use a Rub? What is EVOO? Sorry, for all the questions but I'm a newbie.
