When I went there this am they sold me "Prarie fresh" pork ( a seaboard product). I didn't realize it until I had opened 2 so I took the rest back and swapped it out. I am keeping track of which 2 are Prarie fresh and will see if a difference can be observed. So the 10 racks are " getting...

Our local market ( Sendiks) has a special tomorrow on st louis ribs for $1.99 and I'm going to load up both my 18 and my 24 and run the cyber-Q for the first time on both simultaneously. The Line of Pork is" Smithfield Prime All natural Premium fresh Pork" I believe Prime is a marketing term...

So I got lucky this week and really didn't have the time to smoke butts but was at the store ( piggly wiggly in the Milwaukee area ) and they had butts for .99/ lb. I haven't made butts in almost a year and haven't seen a price like that in a few years. These were huge, a pair of them were...

Is there any drawback to using the oven at 165 for part of the holding time? For the time being I put them in the oven and was thinking of transferring them to a preheated cheap igloo plastic cooler in a couple of hours. My consideration is if they have been in the oven for a couple of hours...

Cooking four shoulders on the 22.5 for a party at 3:00 today. Its 6:30 am now. The meat probe reads 185 on my cyber-q. The pit temp is at 239 and without adding charcoal I figure I have 3 hours fuel left. The 4 butts went on at 7 last night. What would my best strategy be to finish the...

Well it was a long night and I finished pulling around 2 am but I have allot of pulled pork here now!!! 16 gallon zip lock bags. No help at midnight from the neighbors so I had to do it all solo. To ensure I safely chilled it as I pulled a butt I then sandwiched each between a layer of ice in...

All's well that ends well!!! Finished pulling about 2 am I'll finish talking about the cook on the thread I started about the cook titled "First 8 butt cook" Thank you very much for all the help with finishing this challenging but very productive cook.

Thanks Chad and Jim tested a couple and they were near 190 so I shut off the oven and will pull in an hour or so. I have an excuse to sleep in tomorrow...lol

looks like its going to be a late night!!! I'm worried that leaving them in the oven til morning could let temps drop into the danger zone. my next thought is how to safely chill all this meat after cooking it. I cleaned out a cooler and picked up 30 lb of Ice so after I pull each shoulder...

internal temps on the butts were about 175 fyi

Ok I successfully got all 8 off and they did fit in the oven. I have the oven at 300 right now. I haven't oven finished so I need some suggestions on how long? is that the right temp? and should I still rest in the cooler after the oven or is that not necessary.... Wow for an old fart out...

Only using the 22.5 and may break out the foil shortly and finish. I think part of the problem is 8 large butts was too much. Coals arent snuffing out I havent had an issue that required me to restart the cooker just refuel. My better choice might have been to use both smokers and put two...

I have sugar in my rub so didn't want to go to high temp on my cook. Should foil them now? 8 butts won't fit in the oven

using the cyber-q's meat probe The Weber supplied thermomether in the top says 225 the cyber-q meat probe says 240 right now

Starting this as a new thread as I can't figure out how to change the header on the one I started for the cook. My first venture into cooking 8 butts on my WSM is quickly turning into a debacle. After 19 hours the temps of the Butts are in the 170's and hey are nowhere near being done. I...

I'm having some trouble here and could benefit from others experiences. the internals on the roasts on both the top and bottom racks are in the 160's and I'm 19 hours into the cook ??? To recap I cooked with the smoker set at 227 overnight using a cyber-q ATC this morning added charcoal and...

Robert those weights are for the packages of 2 butts... the average weight of the butts after trimming is 7.3 lbs Internals are only up to 145-155 on the top level. I set the smoker for 225 for the overnight cook (probably should have gone higher) set for 235 this morning and bumped it up to...

I haven't cooked butts in 3 years and you would think I might have started back with a smaller quantity. My weakness is a deal! Found them for $.99c/lb at our Piggly Wiggly. They were super fresh with a pack date of 9/17 and looked good. I had the time this week so I thought I'd go for the...

i have used a recipe out of the Moosewood original vegetarian cookbook. It was originally given to my by my sister who was a vegetarian and was dissaproving of my carnivorous habits but it really is a great cookbook to peruse. The tomato sauce recipe in it is amazing. She uses a 1/2 cup of...

Thanks Marc, I made a 10 year typo in the original post. I purchased originally in 2009 not 1999 (I just changed the original post)
