I've got to cook and then transport about an hour as well. Waiting on my sister to tell me what time we're arriving/eating (lunchish) to figure out if I'm going to smoke it that morning or the night before and then just reheat. If I can smoke it that morning, i'll keep it in an aluminum tray and...

Had good luck with this one a few times https://heygrillhey.com/simple-apple-spice-turkey-brine/

This one has been good to me, been using it the past 3 or 4 years. https://heygrillhey.com/simple-apple-spice-turkey-brine/

I cooked one for 4th of July to 201F and the thing was falling apart putting it in the pan to go pull it. I guess every piece of meat is different. I typically give the bone a little pull and if it slides out pretty easy, I'm usually satisfied with the product.

I like a 50/50 mix of Cattleman's and SBR. I also make my own from time to time when I have a chance.

I don't care for Mayo and I've had it on the grilled cheese and can't really tell a difference

Good to know. Thanks!

Has anybody ever used the Kingsford charcoal with the wood chips "built in" to the charcoal for lack of a better term? I caught a bag on sale a while back and will probably use it this weekend. Was thinking of throwing a little bit of hickory chunks in with it, not a ton, just a little. Does...

Indeed. Couple of guys owning up to making a poor decision in the heat of a passionate discussion. It happens. The best forums are the ones where folks can admit they had a bad moment, and all parties move forward. Really encouraging to see a little of that.

I think I've used her recipe for sauce before, it's pretty good. It's either a sauce or a Turkey brine.

Good stuff, thanks everybody! My father in law has delegated the pork cooking to me for the past 2 or 3 4th of July parties, and I've had no complaints with foil. I'm doing a small birthday party for my wife in a couple of weeks and think I may try the paper with a small crowd and see if it's...

I'm guessing the pork has enough fat content that drying out with the paper isn't really a concern?

I requested and received some of the famous pink butcher paper for Christmas. I'll be smoking a pork shoulder in a couple of weeks and was wondering what are the advantages to wrapping in the pink paper over aluminum foil, if any? Also are there any special methods to use to improve the finished...

That show got me interested in smoking. I'd love to see a new season.

In laws are having their annual 4th of July party this weekend. I'm smoking a pork butt. My father in law is handling the chicken and hot dogs and some ribs and everybody brings sides and deserts. Should be 50 people-ish. I'll build the fire tonight around 10, let the temp get steady, put the...
