Adittion to my previous comment-Since you're not direct competitor with your Tex buddy due to geographic differences, maybe ask him for best practices/things to avoid.

One other thing to keep in mind. People who take a fun hobby to a job sometimes come to hate doing it after a while. That being said, if you've considered that possibility and aren't deterred, go for it! In addition to the above recommendations, cater a small party at your house from a highly...

I've been using the "snake method" with good results for 4 hour cooks or less.

Thanks everyone, and thank you Bob for the link. I think I'll try some black pepper on one of the pork loin pieces before going into the smoker.

I make Bob's "Bacon made easy" back around X-mas time with pork belly, and it was great! Since it was my first bacon, I thought I'd go without seasoning to see if I got the basics down. I've a got a 9# pork loin curing now and was trying to figure out some seasoning options. Could the bacon...

I would go 2 top 2 bottom. The only problem I would see is that the bark might set on the bottom butts after it sets on the top ones since the top ones are going to essentially be "basting" the bottom ones. Of course, maybe with the 22" you could stagger them so the top ones aren't directly...

Stick to ribs & pulled pork if you have a proven method. I would make it more memorable with some awesome apps. ABT's, Moinks, smoked shrimp come to mind. Bacon covered anything should do the trick. My family usually fills up on apps and can hardly eat a serving of the real dinner once it's...

A lot of folks say smoking is art not science. I believe it's both. This situation is purely science. Let's say whatever you're smoking, you want to maintain 250 WSM temp. If it's hot out, it will take less fuel to maintain 250, more if it's cold. The amount of food you're cooking (food is...

maple pepper sugar and the rest with chipotle maple sugar Where do you get these spices? Or we're they homemade?

Thanks everyone, I think I might try the sandbag idea first before trying to drill holes into the cemet.

I'm thinking less exotic than a beef tongue and heart. What about beef short ribs? Mmmmmmmm, beef short ribs...

Hi John, if you have $100 burning a hole in your pocket, check out the silver bullet jacket from BBQ guru site. If not, before I purchased my bullet jacket, I did this: Regular minion method Put the cooker together Take the access door off until the lid temp gets to about 325+ degrees (for...

So I live in a town home, and my backyard is a huge windtunnel. If it's 20 mph around me, it seems like it's 50 mph in my backyard. Anyway, I got a Spirit E310 for x-mas and shortly after we went to Mexico. When we got back the Spirit, and my new performer were flipped upside down in the...

15-17 pounders???? Where do you shop good sir????

Just an observation, my maverick will act up when the probes aren't completely plugged into the unit. Sometimes they come out slightly with slight movements of the unit hosting the probes

Just an observation, been said many times before, but if YOU are the one smoking, I think your senses aren't as sensitive as those not tending the smoker/grill. I'm always asking my wife if she smells smoke and she looks at me like I'm crazy cause it usually very strong. I usually smell/taste...

Never thought about chopping up the tenderloin into medallions wrapped in bacon. Again, so much to learn... Thanks for the idea, might be stealing this one soon. BTW, did the bacon crisp up on this?

Maybe a silly question, but do you let the frozen meatballs thaw before going on The smoker/grill?

Not sure the gram conversion, but I copied this from Weir on another post. "One tablespoon is 20 grams. "

Very nice chops! So can you add the tender quick to most or all pork products and they end up with the bacon/ham flavor? So much to learn...
