    This weekend I lose my viginity

    A good dry rub ( I use Harry Soo's "slap yo daddy" rub which can be purchased on Amazon ) and a temp between 250-300 and some Apple or Hickory wood chunks to start. Try using the 3-2-1 rib method ...works great for me.I'm not sure why some curse the water pan .... It can be a lifesaver if you...

    Can't find tender quick and I don't have pink salt...

    I was able to get some from the meat supplier I bought the pork belly from ... gotta find the actual meat suppliers that have a retail counter as well.

    My first butt on my WSM was a hit ! I took a few tidbits from several folks on here and it worked out great for me.I could not get it above 186 as it stalled there for three hours so I replaced the probe but still the same.So I simply tested the butt by pulling a piece and it came away...

    Pork butts taking longer than expected

    Just pulled a 5 pound boneless butt that took about 13 hours to finish at 250. I had a couple of short stalls(an hour at 156 and another hour or so at 176) then at 186 it would'nt go any higher. Fat pocket maybe ? I did remove the probe and place it in another part of the meat but still no jump...

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

    Pulled the probe and tested the butt ....pulled easy. After resting it was very moist and fell apart without much effort on my part ....best ever.All at 186 degrees

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

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

    I don't want to completely wrap up my Butt after I pull it off the smoker cause I want the bark to remain "hard/crispy".... should I just tent it with foil or simply leave it on my cutting board ?:confused:

    Should my Butt or Brisket be brought to room temp before I put it in my Smoker ?

    I'm thinking it'll only affect cook time .... ?

    Harry Soo Rib Method

    I think most competition cooks don't cook their ribs the way they do at competitions ....remember their trying to appease the judges and most like (from what I've seen and heard) sweet ribs better. That came from a conversation I had with Myron Mixon at the Reno Best in the West.

    Cast iron pan question...

    Well ...a good seasoned pan after cooking burgers will need a scrubbing because of the hard bits but after I do that I put it on the burner to dry it and get it hot ,then I rub a little oil (any kind) in it with a paper towel and put it away. I can pull it out right now and fry an egg in it...

    Cast iron pan question...

    Scour it with some steel wool,rinse it, and then rub it all over with vegetble oil... then put it upside down (cookie sheet below it to catch any oil drippings) in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Works like a charm for me.
