    Pork Butts in WSM

    I have a 18.5 WSM and recently replaced switched to sand in the water bowl.  I filled the bowl with sand and wrapped the whole thing in foil. On a Friday night, I trimmed and rubbed a couple of ~9lbs butts and stored them in the fridge for the next morning.  Saturday morning, I'm up just before...

    Partially frozen pork butt

    Is it safe?

    Yesterday I smoked a 10 lbs butt on my 18.5 WSM.  It stalled at 165 and took FOREVER to reach 195. At 165 I had wrapped it in foil. At 195 I pulled it out, wrapped in a  towel and put it in a cooler...with the intention of waiting about an hour and pulling it. Well, it was getting kinda late...

    Big ol' pork loin

    My parents asked if I would smoke a "pork roast" for them for pulled pork.  I said sure. I unwrapped the meat tonight an it is a big ol' 10lb bone in pork loin, not a shoulder.  Any chance I can still do pulled pork?  If so, do I still take it to 165, wrap it in foil, continue to 195, and wrap...

    A guy has  a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker for sale for $80.  Looks like the 30", all black model.  He said he has only used 4 times.  I was going to call to make an offer, but saw that he is about 2 hours away from me.

    Accessing bottom rack of ECB

    Last weekend I smoked a small pork loin, chicken legs, and chicken thighs on my Gourmet ECB Luckily the loin was small enough (2.5 lbs) that I could fit it and the chick on the top rack.  However, it got me thinking...if I didn't have room on the top rack for all of it, I would have to put the...
