Here is a cook I did where I cut a butt in quarters and cooked it up. The pieces were moist and of course had more crust since there were more pieces. I did wrap the butts for a while and put in a cooler after they were done. I say go for it. I am going to go this again but I would recommend a...

I have the same one Ted, got it off CL also. Youre gonna love it

I cut up a 5 lb butt into 4 pieces last week and they came out great. I did wrap them in foil for at least an hour AFTER they were done and put them in a cooler to rest. Not dry at all so you should be good. One thing I learned, more pieces = more bark, yum

I have the same problem S.T. Although a lot of times I have rub premaid, I still end up with a mess. If I am doing ribs, I have the back film everywhere, and rub and plates and pans and...... Unfortunately I don't have anyone to help me, but I also don't have anyone to complain. So I just make...

It was close with the hot sauce and the Italian dressing. The hot sauce had a nice kick that some people might not like in their BBQ, and the Italian dressing just gave the butt a nice flavor without overpowering it. If I was to make one for myself, I would do the hot sauce, but if I cook for...

Nothing like a smoked/grilled sausage with some beer

Nate, you and I must cook pizza on the same day a lot. I did two yesterday as well, took a bunch of pics in the process then screwed up the first one. (too long of a story) Yours looks great pizza dood!

If it kicks out good pizza and 'Q, who cares if its hot pink with yellow flames......ok maybe not

Just to add to the insurance debate, since I am a fireman..... in my department, unless there was a death caused by the fire (god forbid), they probably wouldn't investigate to the point of determining that the grill was a conversion. Just knowing that the grill started the fire would be enough...

Ya, I think that whatever you put on the meat to get the rub to stick to doesn't make much difference. I use spicy mustard and recently tried chipotle mayonnaise (which works on small chunks of fried fish and meat) and still didn't taste anything but the rub

Thanks all. It was definitely worth the experiment. They didn't come out dry but I wrapped all of them when I pulled them off for at least an hour (which helped darken them up too, but softened the bark). I will probably do the hot sauce and the Italian dressing one again because they really...

That's a heck of a deal. Being patient on CL really pays off most of the time. But it really is a shame how "smart" people can be sometimes, especially when there's a whole book of directions, plus the internet to teach you anything you want to know about something you bought. Guess it worked...

I don't know much about the bars, but she sure is PRETTTTYYYY

For some reason, my food never tastes smoky to me and I use plenty of wood. I read a thread about your nose getting desensitized after cooking all day around the smoke. Did your food taste less smoky to you, or to everyone that ate it?

My experiments cooking for other people don't come out as good. Great job! You had me with that list pic. I thought it was snowing somewhere
