    need advice on smoking ribs and a porkloin at the same time

    Here's how my smoke went. The ribs were fall off the bone tender (the way we like them) and the loin was so moist you could squeeze juices out of each slice. I was very happy with the results. Took 4 hrs for the ribs and 1hr 45 minutes for the loin at an average temp of 250

    need advice on smoking ribs and a porkloin at the same time

    As you can see the vents are completely closed. The temp has now stabilized since most of the coals burned down. I'm only adding a few at a time now. I guess I had too many in there. I wrapped my ribs at 2:30 and put in the loin. I put the wrapped ribs all the way to the right and the loin on...

    need advice on smoking ribs and a porkloin at the same time

    Yeah for some reason I'm battling to keep my temp DOWN to 250. both vents are CLOSED and its wanting to stay at 260!! I've been lightly spritzing water on my coals. Guess the minion method isn't a good idea with lump charcoal but that method with briquetts I couldn't get it higher than 200 with...

    need advice on smoking ribs and a porkloin at the same time

    I'm smoking 2 racks of st louis style spare ribs and a 3lb pork loin. I'm using a cheap model offset stick burner. I will be using lump charcoal and hickory wood. I'm planning on a 225 temp (will vary since I'm using a cheap smoker) How long will the 3 lb loin take? How long into the cook...

    can I use oak to smoke?

    Guess I need to get hubby to start splitting and stacking oak to let it season. He does site prep after the logging crew finishes a spot and they only go after the pine so he pushes over and burns everything else and of course here in Florida there's oaks everywhere

    anyone ever smoke a whole deer shoulder?

    I have several shoulders and hams and I'm too lazy to thaw and debone them so was thinking about smoking them whole. Any tips? With deer meat being so lean how do you keep it moist? Tender?
