I can generally get spares for 1.60-1.80 at Costco. Good thing too because I prefer them.

I don't see the point in saucing a whole butt before you pull it. I add just a hit of vinegar based sauce after I pull it, then let folks choose to sauce it or not as they see fit when they eat it. Personally I add just a bit more vinegar sauce to mine.

I woudn't even consult with my wife if I had the opportunity to buy a BGE for that price, if one came on sale here I wouldn't even hesitate. I would hit the ATM and be knocking on their door in a matter of minutes! I love my WSM's but there's always room for another BBQ toy.

The way I see it sugar isn't really necesarry for a rub. You could just take some chili powder, a little garlic salt,and black pepper and rub with that.

I don't think that would work very well. Choking down the oxygen on a charcoal fire with a few wood chunks in it is fine. Choking down a wood fire is not good, it produces a lot of creasote and billowing smoke and will make your meat nasty. Running a stick burner is a PITA. You really need a...

I have about the same exact situation as you Keri, except the roof of my porch is 1x4's, roofed and painted white underneath. I've been smoking like that for at least 2 years. The only thing I won't do is actually leave while I'm running the WSM on the porch, unless it's just to the corner gas...

I have used the briquettes many times in the past and found them to burn similar to old Kingsford. Full ring lasted as long and quite a bit of ash. They did smell different while burning but I found it to be a pleasant smell.

I really like the Ain't Your Momma's Meatloaf recipe. It's really good! The brisket hash is really good too.

I've used it for over-nighters and I've gotten at least 20-22 hours out of a full ring using the Minion method.

I've never had that problem with Royal Oak briquettes before. I've used it a lot and it's always lasted about the same amount of time as old Kingsford. It must of been a bad batch or something.

I've used Fab P before and it wasn't too bad. Some people think its the greatest thing since sliced bread. If you go that route I recomend mixing it thinner than the container calls for. You can get it at theingredientstore.com

About 6 months is the generally recommended time. If you split it you could probably get it done in 3-4 months.

I think what I was trying to accomplish in the pan was to spread the smokey flavor throughout and get a hint of tang throughout the whole batch. An old pro named Tom Solomon recommends this practice and I do kinda like it. I have been happy with my Q, just looking to move in new directions...

I've recentley started considering not rubbing my butts/whole shoulders anymore. I have been dedicated to the eastern NC style and I think rubbing my butts is just screwing up the flavor profile I am shooting for. I have been trimming all fat, painting with mustard and then rubbing with rubs...

I dump them in the center, about 20-25 coals usually.

I had a party last Saturday with pulled pork, and I didn't even get home from a business trip until about 7 pm on Friday. I got 2 7lb butts on the WSM around 10 pm. I got the smoker stabalized at 230 and went to work on the other items, goat! Anyway, I went to bed about 3 am with the smoker...

You can get a decent coffee grinder for about 15 bucks. Well worth the investment to be able to grind your own spices.

I haven't tried that particular recipe, but I have brined butts before. To be honest I wasn't impressed with the results (really didn't seem to make a difference). Try it sometime and tell us what you think of it.

That is what I've gathered from my observations Tom. I would like to add that I think salting a steak before cooking actually does help. It brings moisture, and along with it, protiens, to the surface of the meat. Therefore aiding in the Malaird Reaction, the forming of that tasty brown crust on...

Coffee grinders are cheap so there's no reason not to have 2, one for coffee and one for spices. I wouldn't want to go through the trouble of cleaning the damn things for double duty. I'm not a coffee drinker though so I only require one!
