I have done several overnight cooks in the WSM. This past friday night, I took my cooker to my folks house. I started up the cooker and got the 4 butts on. I hooked up my Maverick Smoker Thermometer to only find out it was broken. So I just used my dial thermometer... After about 1.5 hours...

Wow Jason that is very cool of you! This board amazes me! Let me check at Ralphs tonight and if they don't have what I want, I'll take you up on you wonderful and generous offer. Btw, I don't know what store you work at but I spend alot of time on the westside (westwood, bev hills &...

Jim, Can I just try to squeeze the "enhancement" out of the bird? LOL just kidding Sheesh, I'll hunt around for some un-enhanced breast but, like said earlier, that is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Everywhere you look in La La land, the breasts are enhanced.

ok here is the deal Smokey Mountaineers... I smoked up a turkey breast on Monday night and, gosh darn it, it turned out pretty tastey. It was one of those soup injected breasts, that I de-boned, with a generous sprinkling of rub, with an apple juice spray down, smoked in apple wood. Now...

Rick, If you do the Water Pan Modification and you are only cooking a couple of butts, you can sleep 7 hours easy. Set the temp at 240, keep the vents at 1/3rd open and you are good. However... The more meat in the cooker, the more attention that you have to pay attention to the cooker...

Wow Keri. Great Post! Very informative. If a person can't make kick @ss chicken after reading your post, they got something wrong with them.

it is the perfect cut for sausage. For most sausages you want a 80% meat to 20% fat mixture, pork butt is right around that very mixture. Besides being a good cut for sausage, you can get it very cheap if you hunt around for a deal. I have sausage out of butts for years.

Unless my new wife's last name was Hilton or Gates, IMHO, it would be a sure sign that I had gone insane if you ever saw me paying $5 per pound for a Boston Butt. Again, this is just my opinion... If the Niman Ranch pork was that much better for BBQ, I think you would be hearing of...

Bob H, I'd do 6 butts, it isn't like the 'leftovers' will goto waste. Let me put it this way, the first time I did pork butts for a group, I did 2 large butts. A dozen people finished off both butts within an hour. As for the compliments, it is nice. My favorite was "you should bottle...

Keri, Out here is California, it isn't too hard to the "ohh damn, this is great". Because it is usually followed with "this is pork?" and then "it was in there for how many hours!?!?" People out here don't know BBQ worth a damn... Seriously, Applebee's or Tony Roma's is 'as good as it gets...

DOUG, ah na KNEE ah thees MIKE, Seriously, it is going great... I have been eating a TON of pork. I make alot of sausage as well from mostly venison. So I have been eating alot of that. My good friend has been doing alot of tuna fishing so he keeps me supplied with tuna. Anyway...

it is pronounced "spear row" just like our former vice president Spiro Agnew.

all these numbers! ehhhh! my head is going to explode! Seriously,it really doesn't matter to me. It take my butts at whatever temp that I can get them because I am too lazy, and quite frankly unable, to wake up to turn at half times. So after an early flip, swap and baste... they go...

Cooking in the WSM is so easy that it still amazes me everytime I pull meat out of it. As many on this forum know... I love cooking pork butts. I like chopped pork. I like pulled pork. With football tailgates and a number of family friends on the atkins diet (I am as well), I have been...

I really have not noticed a big jump in beef prices in southern california. Then again, about the only time I buy beef is choice or prime briskets from a major local meat distributor. They have ALWAYS been very very fair with me. I think it is because of the utter lack of demand for briskets...

Sonny & Travis, The funniest part is that, initially, I did not know I was getting a killer deal. It might have been his accent and limited English but he was really not communicating very well. After trying to get a price for a while, he came back to me and said "the case is 60lbs and it...

So I went by Sam's Club to pick up some pork butts for this weekend's tailgate. Last week, I went thru 30lbs of boston butts (4) in like 90 minutes so I figure that I would do 45lbs (6) this week. When I got there I was a little pissed off... 2 weeks ago, butts were $.82 per pound... Last...

Randy, The bottom pic in that link has the following... 7 half racks in the rib rack... 2 half racks flanking the rib rack... 2 half racks on top of te rib rack... There are 11 half racks in that pic... Real easy to squeeze another 5 half racks in there. If you wanted to, you could...

I use predominantly APPLE with a chunk of cherry or so...

It is realatively easy to get 12 trimmed racks of spare ribs (actually 24 half racks) into a WSM with a basic rib rack. I can see a guy getting 8 trimmed racks (16 half racks) onto the top grate... you can get like 7 halfs on a rib rack... 2 halfs in fromt of the rack. 2 halfs in back of the...
