Dang you people!
I've been using the #1 rub & really like it. I'm using it on 2 butts for an overnighter tonight. After reading all of your comments about the #2, now I HAVE to order some of it too.
I'm blaming you when the box arrives & my wife asks me why I need more BBQ stuff.
I bet they turn out fine. Be sure to let us know the results.
Who knows, maybe this will be your best cook yet & you'll be trying to recreate the temporary high temps again in the future.
It sounds like things are coming along nicely. I wish I could cook some butts this weekend instead of working.
When are you planning on eating the pulled pork?
The past 2 years, Home Depot has sometimes had big sales on their 2-24 lb packs. The sales are usually around 3 day holiday weekends during grilling season. I bought a bunch at ~$7.99 per 2 pack last year.
I agree with Paul G's suggestion of making ribs. I did the BRITU recipe on TVWB for my first cook. My ribs have improved a lot since then, but they were still better than any we'd had at a restaurant.
I like mixing 1/2 Sweet Baby Ray's & 1/2 Hot Bone Suckin' Sauce. My family loves it. Someone here on TVWB originally told me about this. I get the Bone Suckin' Sauce at Cracker Barrel.
Louie,
I've seen those disposable grates at Walmart & thought they would work great for meatloaf.
BTW, it looks like one of the meatballs was trying to escape.
I'm pretty sure that the ET-73 only updates when there's a temperature change. Mine has stayed at one temp for at least 15 minutes, only to update later when the temperature changed.
Great picture! I keep my WSM outside all winter too. I do put a large plastic garbage bag on the cooker before adding the cover to keep the moisture out.
They both have their good points.
I like Costco's ribs better.
Sams' Club has bone-in butts (which I like) instead of the boneless butts at Costco.
My local Costco doesn't have brisket & Sam's has choice grade flats & packers.
I have memberships to both.
Maverick will happily sell you the probes if you call (800)526-0954.
The regular probes for the ET-73 are $12 each & the longer (6 foot) probes are $17 each or $27.75 for two. Those prices include shipping in the United States. I just ordered 2 of the longer probes.
Note: they don't currently...
