    Four hour rule and injections?

    Ok, so I've been smoking for a few years now, but last night I came across this rule online looking at recipes for pork butt. Apparently, once you puncture a whole muscle hunk of meat (with an injection), it has to be heated to 140F+ in four hours? First I've heard of this. I know the danger...

    What did I do wrong?

    Hey guys, I've done about about six cooks on my 22.5 WSM. Meatloaf, ABTS, Mac and cheese, Cornish Hens, pork butt, chicken breasts etc. Everything always turns out good and in the time frame expected, except for this weekend, I did three whole chickens on the bottom rack(each chicken was over...

    Hi from PA

    Hey love the page, just wanted to stop in and say hello from outside of Philly. Got my WSM in July, and love it! Had a gas smoker before but the WSM blows it out of the water! I've been lurking for awhile, but finally decided to join. Excited to learn more from this awesome page!
