    Just so so butts

    I'm really proud of my butts - they're my best thing. Made four for my granddaughter's school and they weren't my best. Somehow I got the temp wrong and took them off the heat to early. Had to oven them the next day. Not as good. So, are there ways you can get a too high temp by poking in the...

    4 butts on an 18.5

    I've done 4 butts many times on my 18.5 and had great successes. Recently I've gone over to high heat which take abut 6 - 7 hours rather than 14-16. If you're going over night, allow that time - 14 to 16 hours, and don't worry because you can pull them and then they can stay wrapped in a cooler...

    Montreal Smoked Meat (MSM)- question

    No: steam them when you are serving them. The steam makes them hot and does not influence flavour.

    How do you serve your Boston Butt?

    I'm a hamburger bun guy. Wonder bread - the only time I use the stuff. But reading this thread, maybe i'll try something more exotic.

    Ribs overnight?

    Mary, consider making the ribs a day or so before, letting them cool, and then vacuuming them. If you heat them in boiling water they won't cook anymore, and should TAste like they're right off the smoker. Cheers, Michael

    Semi-demi high heat butt success

    So on Wednesday I was smoking for my annual granddaughter science fair do. I'm now a fixture and expected. They talk lynch mobs if I don't turn up.:D So I decided to do a high heat, and put four butts on at about 10:30 am. It rose to about 300, but with everything open didn't want to go higher...

    Another butt should do you. Besides, it takes as much work to make 4 as 1, so why not?

    Best way to keep the bark "hard" during its resting stage ?

    186 is pretty ggod. Check if it's soft by probing, and you can likely pull it. I've never found a problem with bark getting soft. After all, you don't want someone to break a tooth :rolleyes:! I find that wrapping them tenderizes the meat and nicely finished the cooking process.
