I just noticed this the other day. Was in BJ's looking for a turkey (hard enough to find on 12-14lbs) and had picked up a Butterball "Natural" turkey. Pushing the cart away I thought I'd look at the label just in case and found the notice about it being injected with a flavor solution. Went back...

Cookin' a mess of ribs (trying for 8 racks) on Saturday. Of course I'll need to cook on both grates. Haven't ever cooked on the bottom grate since buying the WSM. In fact, the grate's never been dirty since I remove it when I cook on the upper grate. Anyway, I was just wondering if there are any...

I'm definitely not looking to make goopy pulled pork...that definitely sickens me. Personally I do cole slaw with just a little squirt of some sweet/ish sauce. I was just thinking maybe I could so something to subtly give the meat a little boost of flavor. Seems like most folks will use some...

Yikes....I shoulda searched first! Looks like there's plenty of info out there. Sorry for a dupe thread. If an admin can delete this, please feel free.

...what's your favorite way to serve it? Straight up with sauce on the side, or do you mix anything in with it? I've always done straight up, letting the eater sauce up how they like but I'm wondering if I could be doing something more to make it better.

OMG, this thing came out great! Sorry to sound like a teenage girl, but I think it's the best one I've ever cooked. I'm beyond happy with the result. I barely trimmed this butt at all...maybe just a little of the fat cap. I read somewhere on the forum about some very good meat in between the...

gotcha...thanks for the info. butt's been resting for about 2hrs 40mins now. Guess I should open it up and look into pulling it.

Ok, I'm off at 1030...Thermapen shows 193 and up poking all around. Did hit 201 in one spot near the bottom. Triple wrapped it in foil and threw it in a cooler to rest. Top did look a little dry in one spot. One thing that concerns me a little is that I couldn't twist the bone out...nearly...

Thanks...I went out around 2:30 or so and found the temp reading just under 200 so I gave the barrel a tap of the foot near each vent. Temp rose just a bit but not for very long. Popped open the door and saw I was all but out of fuel (8hrs in). Poked around a bit and saw I still had some hot...

Wanted to do a butt for Superbowl and had planned on doing it either Saturday or, at the earliest starting Friday night. Well, Mother Nature decided she was gonna dump a snow storm on the Mid-Atlantic so I decided to start it tonight (typing this around 1AM Friday). Figured I would try to beat...
