    Mmmmm....Nachos

    They look fantastic. Just a question, what kind of cheese do people generally use on their nachos? I'd love to make my own queso in addiiton to the pulled pork.

    Moist Pulled Pork

    Have you tried injecting the butt before you smoke it? I like to use apple juice, pineapple juice, a little OJ.

    What's everyone smoking this weekend?

    I'm rolling with some pulled chicken, & possibly some BBs if I have the time after golf.

    Expanding my arsenal

    I've also been looking at upgrading to a beefier smoker for extra capacity. I have found that offsets burn a lot more fuel, and have to be "refilled" a lot more frequent.

    Tenderloin

    I agree with Tom. Those small pork loins I just throw into the OTS for 20 mins or so over direct medium heat.

    2nd Sparerib (trimmed to St Louis) cook

    I've always had perfect results with 3 hours at 225-240 for 3 hours, then foiling & bumping up to 275 for 1 more hour. Hasn't failed me yet. That was with BB. The last spares I did only took 3.5 hours to finish at 225, which makes no sense to me, but it is what it is.

    Paper towel chimney starter.

    I've found that different papers burn completely different. For example, the Boston Globe burns terrible & leaves a ton of ash & paper reminants, however the Wall Street Journal burns completely & leaves no remains.

    Rib Question

    Changing tunes a little bit, I did spares this weekend. Didn't have a ton of time to prep them, so I just removed the skirt, membrane & tossed right on. Cooked them at 235 for exactly three hours, and when I took a look at the 3hr mark, I noticed that the meat had already pulled back from the...

    help for a newbie with ribs

    I'd say the only way to get ribs done in 4 hours is to cook them at 225 for 3 hours, then foil & bump up temp to 275 for the last hour.

    Left Charcoal out in the rain

    I have left my bag of briquets out in the rain before, and once they dried for a few days they still worked perfectly fine.

    mushy ribs

    All my ribs have turned out perfect, and my process is similar to Larry's. usually 230-240 at the grate for 3 hours, then I foil & put back on for 45-60 minutes and bump up the temp to 275 for that last 45. That has give me the most consistent & best results. Trying to use the 3.2.1 method...

    What is everyone cooking this weekend?

    Perfect weather here in Boston. Threw on 2 full chickens last night, and have the WSM warming up again right now for some BB. I have also officially cracked the first beer of the day as well. Can't cook with charcoal & not have a beer.

    anyone there...pork almost done?

    Pretty much to a T the experiences I had before I started foiling at 170. I could never get them into the 180's. In the end, the only thing that matters is the product.
