    Looking for Those who converted from WSM to Pellet smokers

    Jeff, I wrote up my first cook here - ribs. Friday night, I cooked two pork butts overnight - slept like a baby; got up at 6am and they were both sitting at 160 degrees with rich bark. Haven't had time to post about that cook yet, but the results were very good. To answer your questions, the...

    Help / advice on a hot and fast pork butt cook?

    As luck would have it, I got home early enough to get two pork butts into the Yoder just after 10pm tonight.  I'm going to try the "set and forget" method - I'll get up early on Saturday and hope they are not charred or otherwise destroyed! It feels strange not to be baby-sitting all night. ...

    Smoked my first butt and uuummm...

    Hi Kenny,  just a few words of encouragement after the wisdom shared by the guys here. I made horrible pulled pork on my first two attempts - that bitter taste you talked about was the same for my first butts and I felt very discouraged.  Once I sorted out the smoke problem, it never happened...

    Help / advice on a hot and fast pork butt cook?

    Al, Alas, my WSM vanished during my house move a few months back. We moved during a blizzard and there was a lot of confusion. It sounds like my WSM, which I had broken down for the move, was mistakenly loaded in a truck headed for the dump. I didn't figure that out till I got to Santa Fe and...

    Help / advice on a hot and fast pork butt cook?

    I just bought a Yoder YS640 and did my first cook a few days ago. I have guests showing up on Saturday and they are begging me to make them pulled pork.  I won't be home Friday to start an overnighter, so I have to smoke on Saturday and be ready to serve at 6pm. The soonest I can get the cook...

    First Cook on my Yoder YS640 ... the weather jinx continues

    Thanks AM and b-one! Looks like you both have a BBQ pit dog to take care of anything that falls off the table.

    Hi Y'all From a Santa Fe Gal

    Just finished my first cook! I learned a lot - have to master that damper!  My ribs were really delicious, so no complaints. I can't wait to cook a couple of pork butts.

    Bored with my pulled pork

    Not sure how "different" you want to get.  For a change of pace, I sometimes make an Asian pulled pork. The easy way is to inject with a mixture of apple juice and Teriyaki sauce. For the fancy version, butterfly the pork butt, smear it all over with a paste (shallots, garlic, fresh red chilies...
