Thanks everyone. Logic told me all would be well. Lack of experience told me it couldn't hurt to ask, just in case... Bill, with the price of gas, I figure that would make for a $627 pork butt by the time you got it home. You may be able to do better buying locally. Bob, you may very well...

Thanks very much. I figured, if necessary, I could rinse it off tomorrow morning, and then reapply a little while before going on the smoker. Seemed silly, but a possibility. I think "don't look back" is exactly the approach we'll be going for! Thanks again.

Silly me. I seem to try something new every time I smoke something. Can't leave well enough alone, even though every "cook" has been received enthusiastically by my family/friends! Today, I thought I would try brining a pork butt with a molasses/koshier salt/water recipe I found here. Then...

Thanks! Had not seen that. It seems to be working at the moment. It's been 9 months since my last pork butt smoke (been happily stuck in "Rib Mode"), and it is just nice to get a quick review on some details. Thanks for the responses.

Hmmm... Looks like none of the links in that top banner are working for me...

Been trying last night and this morning to get on the "Cooking Topics" section at the top of the TVWBB forum home page. I keep getting an error message that the page cannot be found. I was wanting to review the "Renowned Mr. Brown" pork butt info for a smoke session this evening. Is part of...

Thanks, Dwain! The Thermoworks is a good looking unit. I solved one of my problems- operator error! I thought the power switch was labeled start/stop on the receiver, but an unlabeled button turned it on when held down for 4 seconds. Duh. I think I also proved to my satisfaction that the...

I'm having thermometer fits. At the end of a smoking frenzy last year, I ordered an ET-732. Months later, when the family was finally wanting pulled pork again, I fired up the 18.5" Weber and put in the probes with great expectations. Could not get the receiver to "talk" to transmitter. It...

OK, this is a long shot... I have a new Genesis S-330 natural gas grill, and love it! It has been a great replacement for my old Holland Grill that needed $250 worth of parts to carry on. Last weekend, I moved the grill to mow, and rolled it from behind the house. That night, we had...

Rich and Kevin, I like the way you guys think, and your comments are making me hungry. Some combination of those spices may be just the thing. Three loaves are heating up 10 miles away as we "speak". I told them to try 275 for 90 minutes. I hope that is enought to bring refrigerated meat...

Rich, I'm glad you came up with a winning twist on this effort. Sounds like you are adding another possibility to your "smoking stable" of recipes. I am about to put three loaves on the smoker for tomorrow's Easter lunch. If we were eating here, I'd let them cook during church services, but...

A final report: We had the leftovers of the Ham Loaf tonight, and the accolades were strong once again! Since the meatloaf was not coated with any sauce for smoking, I made up a little side sauce from the recipe Chris presents in his meatloaf section on this site's Cooking Tips: Mom G's...

Well, supper is over, and by the family reviews, the attempt was a winner! It was windy enough that I had trouble getting the WSM up to temp for the first time in my experience. It ended up being a 2 hour cook at about 275 (wanted 325-350) to get the meat above 165 degrees, but the bacon still...

You may VERY well be right, Kevin. Most the recipes I found had egg and crackers, milk and bread crumbs, tapioca, or SOMETHING as a binder. My "mix" is in the fridge, and seems to resemble what we had before. I guess Edison "succeeded" in finding 1,000 things that would NOT work for a...

Kevin- Your recipe sounds good. I am trying to replicate what we liked so much a month ago, so I'm going to attempt to make something from the ingredient list they gave me. If I flop, your "formula" will be the next try. Rich- I did a web search for hours trying to find a recipe with the...

Some history:  I've never been a fan of Ham Loaf, although it has been my Mother-in-Law's go-to dish for Easter for decades. We lost her suddenly in November to Pancreatic Cancer, and my wife's Dad has expressed a desire to continue the tradition for this year's Easter meal. About the time I...

I'm an abject rookie compared to the pros who have already offered advice, but I did something with my new 18.5" that worked well for me. Most here believe that no "seasoning" is needed for the new smoker, but I saw some sense to it, and did a modified version of that idea that served me well...

One more thing... While the E420 has stainless steel cooking grates and flavorizer bars like the S model, the E330 has porcelain steel or cast grates and bars. If you get the EP330 at a dealer it is one step up toward the S330, and has the stainless grates and bars in a colored body.

I've been playing the same comparison game for a while, Genesis S-330 vs Summit s-420. The 330 IS smaller and less powerful, but not by much overall: 1. It has just 31 sq.in. less space on the main cooking area. Since the cooking grill is about 19" deep, that means the 330 is less than 2"...

To piggyback on Miguel's question... what do you recommend for eyelets for a Maverick 732 thermometer? If I understand correctly, the probes are larger diameter than previous models. Where is the best placement on an 18.5"?
