This really works. Going on two years with ZERO mold problems. Thanks brian lanius!

Yea, they all had that tough piece of fat on the back. It rendered well and wasn't too chewy. Like a sausage casing.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking when I started this thread; not many people had seen/tried these.

Two hours into the smoke. Going to let it go another hour and a half or so. I tasted a little scrap nugget and it was yum-scrumptious. Ok...so here's the verdict...after 3 hours and 15 minutes, they were not much to look at...

Thanks for the input, Gary. I'm hoping they cook very much the same as bone-in ribs.

Thanks Brian! Had no idea! Just knew the WSM filled with water quickly without a cover. Will be going naked next summer, but like Mike C. said, keep her covered in the winter so I don't have to shovel her off!

Just came back from Costco.kr with these and now have them in a kalbi marinade. I'm planning on smoking for about 3 - 4 hours at 225-250F. As you can see, they are well marbled with one side completely covered in fat. Hoping they render well and don't dry out. Any thoughts or suggestions? They...

I cover my 18" WSM and I have the same problem in the summer, but we get so much rain in the summer I don't want to leave it uncovered. No problem during the winter as it is too cold for the mold. My 22" OTG stays covered year round with a slightly shredded and loose cover and has no mold...

Dave: You got a gas powered grill? Paul: Yea, yea... Dave: That's not grilling. Paul: That's not grilling? Well, what have I been doing? Dave: You've just been cooking outdoors! funny stuff!

I broke the news this morning...lol. She had previously invited her side of the family over for steaks tonight, so I was able to spin the need for the bigger grill. Just got finished putting it together. She's a beauty! Was a little disappointed to find the charcoal baskets and a cover were not...

Great color Stephan. I would have gone with that color given a choice. And thanks Mike for the link to the cover. Looks like the one to get.

I guess I have nothing to worry about then!

But it's sitting in my car. Still trying to figure out how to break the news to wifey. I think I'll wait till everyone goes to bed, put it together and act surprised when she sees it in the backyard. FYI...money is not the issue...the growing collection is!

Thanks Dave. I'll start probing the flat at 8 hours just to make sure it doesn't dry out. I may pull it a little early and let it rest in a cooler for a few hours. Once again, thanks guys!

So at 250 - 275, about 10 - 12 hours for the packer and 12 - 14 for the butts, guessing?
