    What's the longest your butt ever took?

    The two 8 lbers I did this past weekend went for about 22 hrs, but I foiled at the 20 hr point as I had other stuff that needed to go on...

    21 Hours with Rancher and the WSM

    I agree... I started with a full ring and Minion method at 8 pm Friday night and finally needed to add a few coals at 5:30 pm the following nite.. other than an overnight drop to about 185*. once I stirred the coals a bit, they went right back to holding at 250* for the rest of the way.

    Labor Day Weekend Party Plan

    UPDATE... Guys.. cook turned out awesome... other than a few trips back here to assure myself that things (water drip, butt plateau) were normal.. everything went very smoothly... 18 lbs of butts netted us about 8.5 lbs of pulled pork. We made 3 racks of BBRs, 2 fatties, 2 types of wings...

    Current state of my butts

    I foiled them at about 4 EDT to get them over the hump... They're at 185 now and temps are at about 275* (at 5pm next day from a 7:30pm light). Now going on 21 hours... wow. Only thing I did to them was stir them at 7am when I woke up.. temps then were at about 175* when these are at 195*...

    Labor Day Weekend Party Plan

    Thanks all... I think we'll try doing the overnight cook on Friday-Saturday if I can get everything together after work... Otherwise I'll do the quick cook Saturday.. My wife thought our "quick cook butts" came out so great, but we both want to try the difference without the foil.. we both...

    Labor Day Weekend Party Plan

    Kevin, That was my thought... I'm too new at this to be working on a "high wire"... I'd rather be safe and get it out of the way. When you guys do overnight cooks, how much babysitting is required? Is the cooker fairly stable? We're expecting fair weather, so I don't think I have to...

    Chicken Wings on the WSM?

    yes.. smoke them on the WSM, crisp em up on the gasser, then toss with your favorite sauce... I love the taste of the smokey rub with just plain Buffalo sauce (cayenne/butter)

    Outdoor Cooking Gloves, possible warning

    I think it's likely that the cast iron conducts heat incredibly well compared to wood (even burning wood). I've used these gloves (or something similar) with fireplace tools and moved semi-burning logs with them, and they are fine in protecting your hands from the radiant heat of a roaring fire...

    Best Place to Buy Smoke Wood Chunks

    Does anyone have a price list for Nature's Own... They're about 25 minutes from me, but they don't have a formal storefront.. still have to order by phone although they will let me pickup in person. Most correspondence with them via email has been poor, though.

    If you had a gasser and a wsm......

    I have both. Another good thing about the gasser is that the wife can fire it up before I get home and have some of the quick cook stuff done when I get home. Just turn the knobs and click and she's ready to go. As everyone else said.. I use the gasser for grilling and the WSM for smoking...

    Why don't buy another WSM says the wife

    reminds me of that TV commercial where they are installing new appliances and the wife whips out the tape recorder with the guy saying something like "if i get these golf clubs, you can get anything you want"... ad just cracks me up.

    How many bags of Rancher?

    I took the 2 10# bags of Kingsford that I thought was a good deal back to a different HD that had the Rancher.. I got my $13 back and got 7 bags of Rancher for $21. Funny thing is that it was a Saturday night, about 7ish... The return lady was the same person manning a register.. She kinda...
