ALL NIGHT BUTT with my WSM & GURU

[SmokinAl]

Al that's a nice cook!!! I sent some points your way.
On my Lang if I'm doing a couple butts I will smoke to 165 and then pan and cover them till 205.
If I'm doing a large amount of butts I don't bother panning them.
But then I'm also smoking the butts @ 300 and it takes about 6 hours for 8-9lber.

Thank you for the point!

I'm really looking forward to trying some higher temp smokes.

I'm very interested in how the results compare to the real low & slow that I have been doing for years.

Your definitely will be doing some changes with your smoking routine.
But I think that you are going to enjoy smoking and tinkering with a wood fire.
I have never done low and slow. Probably lowest I smoke is 250. The hot and fast smokes I have done I really couldn't tell no difference.
Looking forward to seeing some of them awesome cooks on your new Lang.

I'm looking forward to smoking at higher temps, I'm very interested in the difference in the final product, if any.

We have rain in the forecast everyday for the next week, so I hope I can get some smoking in.

Dang, Al, that looks perfect!

lol, like you, I like to head right to the meat department every time my wife and I go to the store.

Great idea on lighting the charcoal!

I've cooked in the rain, Al. That's one of the perks of a stick burner. No wires. Just add more wood and carry an umbrella...

I don't know how this one evaded me for 3 days, Al---Sorry I'm late!

Great Looking Butt you got there!

Looks Perfect !!!

Good deal with the Fat. I've been punching holes in a Foil pan, put the Fat in, and stick the pan one rack above the meat. Then I just toss the foil pan afterwards.  Works Great, and one less thing for my 68 year old Dishwasher.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe one of those pop up canopies!

Actually the dining tarp thing works, Al. I have an 8x8 that just fits the end of the patio and got used some last year over the MB gasser. Keeps hot sun off as well as rain.
I haven't tried it over the offset yet, but this may be the weekend. I have a chuckie rubbed for tomorrow and it's supposed to be in the 90s, and I have 6# of bacon ready to come out of brine to smoke on Sunday and they're calling for rain....

Great looking pulled pork Al!  I think I will smoke my next one in a pan, that looks amazing!

I ended up picking up a 13x13 at Walmart. I'll be smoking something no matter what the weather is like.

Going with the "mini-tarp" today for the bacon :biggrin:
Sounds like you're getting all your ducks in a row for the new smoker.

Nah, that's to keep the sun off! It reached 95 (in the shade) outside on Sunday, but I didn't want to put off the bacon smoke. Even with the umbrella the temps in the box reached 115 at one point.....

I was a little worried, but it didn't seem to hurt the bacon.

Hi Dan,

Just so you know, I smoke my Bacon with a Smoker Temp of between !00° and 130°, with a few spikes up to 135°. Never rendered any fat.

Just keep it no higher than 130° and you'll be fine.

This keeps me from waiting for cold weather to smoke Bacon.
