    Smoking bonanza w/ Qview

    Good stuff...thanks, everyone! Will try it again. For tenderloin, i'm going to try something other than mustard + dry rub (rib type prep) i did it just like the rest of the stuff for convenience, but it seems like it would do better with something like rosemary and garlic more so than rib rub.

    Smoking bonanza w/ Qview

    Oh, yeah, ok, sorry. I think i took it out around 195...was that too high? Does that not apply to all pork?

    By popular demand.... pulled pork PUPUSAS (Qview)

    Yeah teez, you buy the Maseca, Mission, or another brand of corn tortilla mix (flour section of your grocery store or if they have it, the ethnic foods section) and really just mix with water. That simple! In TX we used to get them at Fiesta, a hispanic grocery store chain. I'm sure there's...

    By popular demand.... pulled pork PUPUSAS (Qview)

    That's right, over here they call them "revueltas" which basically means " everything mixed in"

    By popular demand.... pulled pork PUPUSAS (Qview)

    Thanks, everyone, and I hope I've encouraged you to head to your nearest pupuseria.  There are 1.6 million Salvadoreans and Salvadorean Americans in the US, and wherever there are Salvadoreans, there are pupuserias.  Be sure to get the ones with chicharron (pork), and cheese, they are my...

    Smoking bonanza w/ Qview

    Thanks raptor.  The tenderloin I didn't pull, just sliced.  The pork collar I pulled after resting in towels and foil for 4 hours.  Then stuck in the fridge (pulled) for about 8 hours and reheated for lunch.

    Smoking bonanza w/ Qview

    Thanks, Frosty, will try that next time b/c after smoking the fatty cuts, the tenderloin was just very boring.  Will try doing it up with some fancy liquids (spiced rum maybe?) and see how that turns out.

    Smoking bonanza w/ Qview

    Thanks, friends.  Making some changes to the ECB charcoal pan as we speak, will post some updates when it's done.  This is the last attempt before I break down and just buy the WSM I wanted all along...

    By popular demand.... pulled pork PUPUSAS (Qview)

    Thanks for all the great comments, y'all.  As for the cabbage slaw and tomato sauce, I'm not a big fan of those, I love eating the pupusas just like they are.  People over here tell me I'm crazy for ignoring the dressings but I really think it takes away from the warm, gooey goodness of the...

    Smoking bonanza w/ Qview

    Thanks dewetha....as to your question, well, nothing really special as it relates to bbq.  As a relative newbie, I still use Kraft or Hunt's sauces out of the bottle, since I spend a bunch of time putting together my own rubs and tending to the temperamental ECB. I did however make some local...

    By popular demand.... pulled pork PUPUSAS (Qview)

    Since I joined SMF, folks have been asking me when I would try either smoking a pupusa or making some kind of local food in the smoker.  In El Salvador, the local food people eat the most are pupusas, which are corn tortillas stuffed with cheese, refried beans, pork, or any combination of those...

    First smoked turkey, thanksgiving Qview

    Here are some pics of my thanksgiving adventure, have only done about 5 or 6 smokes and ventured into turkey for thanksgiving...glad I did.  It was juicy, tender, and full of awesome smoky flavor.  And cold leftovers were amazing too! 13lb bird went in around 10 or 11 am... About 6 hours...

    Smoking bonanza w/ Qview

    Hey friends, just wanted to share some Qview from a recent smoke I did on the old untrusty ECB...went a little nuts with all the stuff I put in! Smaller piece is a pork tenderloin, larger one is a "nuca" or "secreto" which to the best of my knowledge is like a pork collar.  We don't get boston...
