    Smoke 8 - 7lb Butts in an 18" WSM

    All, For awhile I have been trying to come up with a way to do a bit more inside my 18" WSM. I was able to get up to 6 ~7-8lb butts (what I typically find at my local sams) but was trying to think of a way to bump that up. Add to that that I did not want to increase the horizontal cross...

    Anyone have a butt in front of them?

    All, An odd request but does anyone have a 7-8lb boston butt handy that they could measure it and post that here? Thinking height/width on the big and small ends and then overall length? After my cook last weekend I have an idea for use in the 18" WSM and am going to start on some drawings...

    foiling for boston butts

    All, If you do foil butts, how do you foil it? I do foil my butts as part of my recipe and while the majority of the time it works out great, there are some times when I pull them out of the smoker that I can get a tear (sometimes because of the bone, sometimes not) in the foil and then all...

    brine max duration?

    All, Is 24 hours too long to brine boston butt? I typically do 12 hours but with work and other commitments I need to do it tonight say around 9pm and then start the cook the next day around 11:30pm. Is this too long to be in the brine? Possibility of being too salty?

    Maverick ET732 issues?

    All, I had a previous post asking about the best remote viewing thermometer. The consensus (with a few outliers) was the Maverick ET732. The 733 looked nice but was $30 more. Ended up ordering it from Sears as I had a sears gift card from a birthday. So from the previous post and looking...

    Need another high temp meat/dish

    Hello, Next month I am going to be trying out the herb crusted prime rib (http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/ribroast1.html) in one 18" WSM while the other is doing butts for pulled pork. However, I hate not having something on the lower grate of the 18" doing the prime rib. As the prime rib...

    standing vs flat boston butts

    All, I apologize if this is a repeat of a previous post. The tradition as I have seen it so far is to smoker boston butts "flat" with the fat cap on top or bottom depending on who you talk to so that it melts onto the meat as it cooks or so that it acts as a barrier to the fire for heat. To...
