    Perfect! Thanks for the quick reply! It is at 195 now so I will remove at 205. I figured it would be fine but I have never rested this long! Thanks

    Quick butt question on resting in a cooler

    Long story short I had a 7 pound but go a lot quicker then expected. My 4 pound ones take anywhere from 13-14 hours, this one took 10 so it threw off the time table. How long can you rest it in a cooler wrapped in foil and a towel? It is 8:30 and it will not be enjoyed until around 4:00.

    Has anybody used a feral hog for pulled pork

    That is allowed, has to be monitored and tested by state officials then slaughtered in a state run slaughter house

    Has anybody used a feral hog for pulled pork

    Thanks everybody! I will go for a sow. I do want a boar head though. Let the rotting body feed coyotes and vultures.

    Has anybody used a feral hog for pulled pork

    I do know why it is. Feral hogs like most pigs have diseases. The state feels they don't know how the meat was handled so they will not allow the meat to be donated. In order to get "approved" feral hog meat they have to go through an inspection period alive then slaughtered at a state...

    Has anybody used a feral hog for pulled pork

    I ask because I am going hog hunting soon and gathering ideas for the meat since in Texas we are not allowed to donate feral hog meat to food banks. I am sure I will give a lot if it away but I want to prepare some of it. Any other ideas besides pulled pork?

    Reminder with brisket and time

    Just like with pulled pork the brisket decides when it's done. 3.25 pounds of the flat put in at 9:30am at 240. Finally pulled out at 6:00pm, one thermometer read 179 the other 191. Wrapped in foil blanket for 1 hour then served. Logic would say that is way to much time for a flat at 3.25...

    Applied rub 32 hours prior to smoke, bone in butt, too soon?

    That is what I am a little worried about, oh well if it turns out a little dry no biggie. I will probably start to smoke tomorrow night

    Applied rub 32 hours prior to smoke, bone in butt, too soon?

    I like to marinade the hell out of poultry and due to timing I decided to dry rub my butt now which is about 32 hours until I smoke. Do you think that is a little too soon? I know on ribs it would be but this is a huge chunk of meat. I worry only because of the salt. I wrapped it in suran...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Vandy has been by nickname for a long time for the same reason as other "vandy's". My football number was 58. If you google Vandy58, I will come up on various other boards. If it is a vandy58, chances are, that is me.

    MES 30" chip loader paint chipping

    I swear it seems like 50/50 with them. I have seen people that have had nothing but great service with them and others that cannot say anything positive

    MES 30" chip loader paint chipping

    even better sand all the paint off and keep it off. I was reading reviews from a few years ago where they used to paint them and people would get a metalic taste so newer ones were shipped out with no paint. Now that I think about it mine only has paint where yours is chipping which is never...

    MES 30" chip loader paint chipping

    paint chipping away, I don't think the paint will smoke though, I could be wrong. Call Masterbuilt. After my second smoke mine did that a little but I did not worry about it too much. Could always sand it off and you some hi temp rustoleum
