How do I get my thermometer calibrated. I have a full lit chimney and 1/2 of unlits going full tilt untill all greyed over and all vents open to do a high heat chicken cook and the therm is only saying 250 at the lid. When I put my candy therm in the holes in the lid ( the trend I mounted) it...

A few years ago my wife and I ate dinner at a top notch place on the NJ shore. They had lobster tails that were mesquite smoked/grilled and they were amazing. Best I have ever had. They were moist and succulent with great flavor. I purchased 2 one pound cold water lobster tails today and I am...

Beautiful looking Brisket Jay. With the high heat cook did you take the water pan out or just wrap it in foil and leave it in? Also, do you know what the temp of the brisket was when it became fork tender?

Hey Bryan, How o you make you chipolte mayo??

Thanks Steve. I cooked the tri as recommended on this site. I'm not sure what the problem was, but I didnt like it at all. I'm thinking it was the unmarinated tri itself that I got from Trader Joes. It was pretty tough to cut and very chewy and it just had an off flavor or something. I used oak...

What is going on in that last picture? What are you doing there?

Cooking 2 TJ's tri's tomorrow? What is the best or recommeded way to cook them.

I've been following this thread for the last week or so and I decided to look around for tri's. No luck at Sam's (they used to sell them but they stopped becasue they werent moving according to the "butcher" there) and a few confused looks from the butchers at local chain markets when I asked...

Mother Nature threw a monkey wrench into the smoke plans. Just as I was getting ready to fire up the bullet, major downpours and very windy conditions rolled in. Lasted long enough to where I decided to cancel. Live to fight another day and I will have to hopefully squeeze the cook in very soon...

Bill, I asked the guys at Sam's club if they had any in the back and they did. What he told me is that they usually cut them up into country style ribs an dont put them out as the whole Boston Butt's unless they are asked for. But they came 2 in a pack like you said. I am going to try my first...

Bill, No I didnt ask them at Sam Club if they had any in the back but I will today. Thanks for the tip. If they dont have any I will just buy the bone in one and try that. Looking forward to a good pulled pork sammy. I bought one at an outdoor event the other night and it was awful.

Thanks Mikey. One thing I think I noticed is that the picnics have the bone in them whereas the butts dont correct?

I am trying to smoke my first pork butts for the 4th. Problem is, I cant find any pork butts. I thought Sam's would have them but they dont. They only thing I can get my hands on is a pork shoulder from my local food market. Can any one give me any insight from experience to what is better...

For those who use the Texas BBQ rub, are you using it like the website says and putting the worcestershire sauce on it followed by the rub and straight into the smoker or is anyone using like in the BRITU or DR. Browns method. I just purchased 2 bags of the rub and it smells excellent and I just...
