    Finishing sauce suggestions for butt?

    Go to the Rubs, Marinades, Brines, Mops and Sauces section. No. 5 sauce is usually the first topic, and I think it will be a great starting point for what you want.

    Brunswick Stew

    I might have to look into that. Chicken and sausage jambalaya is a Sunday favorite at my house. Let me know your thoughts if you make some of the stew.

    Picnic...yes? No?

    I've done a picnic and butt at the same time before as a comparison. The finished product tasted the same, I really couldn't tell a difference. The pro to a picnic is the cheaper price/lb, but the cons are more prep work (removing the thick layer of skin is sometimes not easy, more external...

    Tri-tip question

    I've only done tri tip a couple of times, but when I did the temp kept climbing even when it was just tented with foil and resting on a cutting board. In your case, I'd pull them around 120 because wrapped and packed in a cooler for an hour will probably have them around 135 when you are ready...

    Those ribs look fantastic Jim! I like the no. 5 on ribs too. What's in your version? I haven't experimented with it very much yet.

    Heating a cast iron skillet

    Thanks Kevin. I forgot to mention that I did brush the steaks in melted butter before seasoning them. The taste was good, but my skillet was nowhere near hot enough to get a good sear. Maybe next time I'll use the smaller skillet, so I can get the whole thing inside the grill with the lid on...

    Thanks to everyone for your input - plenty of great advice here, as always. Dale - what's in the rub that you mentioned? Thanks.

    Heating a cast iron skillet

    I tried my hand at blackened NY strips tonight. While they tasted very good, they didn't blacken well. I did it on the WSM with the top grate on the charcoal ring, and a full chimney of lit coals inside the ring. I let the skillet heat for about 4-5 minutes before putting in the steaks. I...

    None of my peers that I know of were travelling last week, but she could have been working for a competitor. All of the large pharmacies are well represented in the Phoenix area. I work for the one with a big red W....

    First time for ABT's

    I refrigerate them for at least a few hours after assembly. The bacon sticks to itself pretty well once they are cold.

    You ever smoke for the next day?

    I think next day is fine. Home made bbq is still pretty good even when it's not the best. With sauces, I think all home made ones are better if they are refrigerated overnight, so I always try to make them a day earlier. On another note, I did a HH packer about a month ago that had very...

    ABT Question

    Did my first batch a few weeks ago. They were awesome, and not really what I expected. The smoke flavor interacting with the cream cheese is unbelievable. Agree that you should hoard a few because they won't last long. And I think anything you put in them will be good. I put honey in the...

    Burnt Ends

    Nice looking food, nice looking backyard setup. Did you freeze the point or was it recent enough to be kept refrigerated?
