I once kept 3 butts in an Igloo Extreme for 9 hours-they came off at about 9:45 am at 198 F, and at 6:30 when I pulled them, they were at 154. I double wrapped them in foil, preheated the cooler with a bunch of hot water, the put a beach towel underneath and a fleece throw on top. I kept...

Mike, I once had a party at 6, and my butts were at 198 at 9:30. I doubled wrapped them in foil, pre-heated an Igloo Extreme cooler, and placed a beach towel underneath and a fleece throw on top of the butts. At 6:30, the were still at 154. Don't fret, and enjoy yourself! You will be...

Hey guys and girls, Anyone try the hot sausage from Southside Market in Elgin, TX? Read about them, and they piqued my curiosity. Trevor

I really like the idea of the vinegar based slaw... I will certainly try that. I am intrigued with making a few racks the day before. If I don't vac pack them, how do I heat them? Maybe I slice the ribs into 4 slice sections and serve them as a appetizer. People do really seem to love...

Hello all, Getting ready to plan my third annual Pork-and-Pyros bash. (I live on a small lake that has some professional fireworks operators on it.) I am looking for menu suggestions. Last year, I served pulled pork, baby backs, cowboy beans, cole slaw, corn on the cob and ABT's. I had 17...

Looked like a great party! BBQ is the mother of invention.... Trevor

Yeah, that cooler performed well. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but it wasn't that much. My neighbor lent me one of his for the beer, and it still has a majority of the ice left in it today. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Hi All, As I said, I took the butts off at about 9:30. They were at about 198 (I had three) I double wrapped them in foil and put them in a preheated Igloo Extreme cooler. I had a beach towel underneath, and a fleece throw on top of them. At 6:30, when I pulled them, they were at 154...

All right, here is the plan. I have a extreme cooler, which is preheating with hot tap water right now. I will put them (they reached about 198F, wrap them in foil, and surround with blankets. My polder probe will go with them, and I will monitor the temperature. If they get below 140, I...

I grossly overestimated how long it would take for my 3 pork butts to get done. Dinner is at 7 tonight, and at 8 am they are now all at 190 F. The BBQ Guru is in ramp mode, and the dome temperature is something like 200F. Question: Do I take them off, let them rest, pull them, and then...

Thanks for the input, guys. I will let you know how it goes! Trevor

Hi all, I am going to have a 2nd of July bbq at my house, and I was hoping to get your advice on the menu. I am expecting 14 adults and 4 childeren under 5. I am thinking of: Pulled pork (planning 1 pound raw shoulder per adult) Baby backs (planning about 1/3 of a rack per adult. Cowboy...

Hi all, A year or two back, someone posted a picture of his well-instrumented WSM. I think that there may have been two setups, one with a multiple of thermometers, and the other looked to have a weather station as well. Anyone know where I can find these pictures? Thanks, Trevor

Thanks Keith. I have a probe thermometer already, just wanted to know for dinner party scheduling sake. I can't wait to try it! Thanks again, Trevor

How long does this take to cook at 300 in the WSM? Trevor
