    First Pork Shoulder with Q-Views

    Yea i keep adding smoke all the way up until the meat hits around 170 or so and then i'm usually tired of the routine and I just let it cook in the smoker without adding more wood.  Or I run out of wood chips and that makes me done.  I cant get enough of this shredded pork.  The ones in the pics...

    2nd Time is a charm

    No harm in leaving yourself extra time, i say get up at 3am and put it on and if it takes long you built time in for it, if not, well its done early, foil and towel it and put it in the cooler for a few hours. No harm there. But yea like others have said, make sure your internal temp in the...

    My First Pork Butt (Q-view) Updated.

    If I learned anything from my first one last weekend its that times go out the window. I had 2 shoulders around 8 pounds each (1 was slightly bigger than the other), and 1 finished in 12 hours and the other took 16 hours to get to 192 degrees (when i gave up on trying to reach that 200 degree mark).
