    Pork Shoulder Smoking on the Fifth of July (thought it could be a song title, too)

    Smoking a 7lb pork shoulder today. Brined it in water, brown sugar, kosher salt, garlic cloves and a few bay leaves for 72 hours. Patted it dry and rubbed it with sweet bunch of herbs and spices, then left it in the fridge for another ten hours.

    To pan or not to pan

    I chose against the pan, but did try something new. Since I was spraying/mopping with Dr. Pepper, I decided to fill the water pan with it, too. It gave it a great aroma and the sugars were a great addition to my brisket. I smoked at 220 for 9 hours. Brisket was tender and juicy all the way...

    I purchased a 9lb. brisket on Thursday for $5.00/lb.  Very pretty looking brisket I might add with lots of flex and a nice marble.

    Where to get good tender packer brisket in Buffalo, NY area

    Hey Jclae, Have you checked out Hoelscher's in Kenmore?  They are usually at least a $1 cheaper per pound from Wegman's, Bj's, or Dash's.  I pretty much get all my meats there.

    To pan or not to pan

    The smoke on all sides is what I concerned about. What is the "stall"? If I place the brisket in the pan after that, I imagine it will collect some juice that I pour over the brisket as it rests?

    To pan or not to pan

    Hello all, looking for suggestions and experience here. I'm going to smoke a brisket this upcoming weekend and it's been suggested I place my brisket in a pan. I normally place my meats right on the rack of my bullet. Does using a pan do anything special? If I use a pan, do I put anything in it...

    Mediocre smoker

    Thank you all for the warm smokey welcome! Just finished another pork loin for my neighbor that he dry rubbed. He grabbed it and ran so I couldn't get a picture. My pork turned out very well. The brine was a perfect mix with the molasses.

    Mediocre smoker

    Hello all! I'm from the Buffalo NY area and have been smoking for awhile - but I know there is a lot more to learn. I use a repurposed bullet smoker that my neighbor and I have updated as needed. This morning I'm smoking a 5lb bone-in pork loin. Used a simple salt brine, a salt-garlic rub and a...
