    Brisket surprise

    So it turned out really well! The tenderness was perfect, the taste was ideal and overall I couldn't be happier. In the end, it spent 5.5 hrs in the smoker, 6.5 hrs in a roaster, 5 hrs wrapped up in a cooler and 2 hrs back in the roaster because the IT dropped to 156. Though in retrospect it...

    Brisket surprise

    I've only done a few briskets so I'm far from an expert so I thought I would ask those that are - last night I started a 14.5 lb choice brisket. I was anticipating 15 to 18 hrs for cooking time so I started around 9 last night with my Masterbuilt smoker. I trimmed the fat cap, covered it in...

    19lb Butt

    Sorry it took so long to get back - my laptop died Thursday night. A 19lb butt would not feed 60 people! But it did a good job for the 40-45 people we had. Fortunately for me, about half the crowd were military-types and the rest were women worried about their girlish figures, so there was...

    19lb Butt

    I checked it out this morning, it's a 2 pack! So back to my original plan with some slight modifications. Instead of 1.5 hrs, I'll plan on 2-2.5 hrs/pd. Unfortunately, I'll have to time it so that it's finishing up a few hours before the party. That whole "work" thing is always getting in the...

    Hello from San Diego!

    Though I have to admit, I'm a transplant (very few people are from San Diego) from Oklahoma. A small town called Muskogee - which is where I learned about bbq. After moving around the U.S. (Navy) for several years, I settled in San Diego but wasn't able to find really good bbq - so I bought a...

    19lb Butt

    I've done pulled pork for small groups several times (which means I'm still a newbie!) but this weekend I'm cooking for 60 people. I have a 19lb pork butt and my question is this, should I cut it in half or leave it as one piece? If I cut it in two, what does that do to the cooking time? I was...
