Not sure on the size of your butt, but yes thats pretty normal it will rise quickly then about 165* internal it will stall or even go down in temp internally and stay in that area for a while (couple to several hours) then the internal will start going up again.

Back when i thought i knew what I was doing, I used liquid smoke in my homemade bbq sauce but I havent used it in a while now.

With it just being me and my wife at home now, I am smoking a butt fairly often. I pull it when I normally would but if I am going to freeze any I "shred" it more than I normally would and then add sauce. I let the sauce sit in the meat a bit then i put it in the container I am freezing it in...

Hi all, I have officially entered my first contest with a few still to come. The one i entered as well as a few of the others I am interested in are unsanctioned events. My question(s) is being that these events are unsanctioned i am assuming that there may not be very many if any trained...

I also am a fan of John Henry's rubs especially the Caribbean Sun. Though today I tried a new one on chicken Three Little Pigs touch of cherry

I thought season 2 was OK nothing special but i may have been biased because we had 2 competitors from Iowa and I have met Shad and Angie who won. After it was over i was searching for other BBQ shows and DVD's and came across these 2 http://www.amazon.com/All-Star...d=1299722781&sr=8-15...

Originally the doctors said macular degeneration, then I got sent to NUMEROUS specialists and they said it is not mac. deg. because of my age, but a "cousin" and officially diagnosed me with ocular histoplasmosis and chorodial neovascular membrane(in english scarring in the eye). I have zero...

I do mine a bit different than some others but it works for me, however there are a few "ifs" in it. If I am trimming a whole rack of spare ribs into St. Louis ribs, I trim them the night before and the rub them down with mustard then a small amount of rub IF there is not much salt in the rub...

Hi there to a fellow Iowan, On lump I have used several with my other cookers, Cowboy brand which is easy to find but the quality and consistency is not always the same in each bag, Frontier brand but it "pops" a lot, The Good One brand seems pretty good but is a bit pricey, Royal Oak...

I also think that the cold temps and steam may be the culprit, Have used my new WSM 6X so far 3 with water 3 without and only once has the temp outside been higher than 30* and the 3 times I have used water in the pan about 2 hours after I put the meat on I noticed it to from just under the...

Howdy all, I am sure this has been asked numerous times but when I do a search I am not quite getting the answers I am looking for so I thought I would just post it as a question. I currently have an 18 WSM that I have only used twice and I know there is a learning curve compared to my other...

As a total newbie the way I found this site was when I was on Youtube searching info on ways to smoke different things and came across the videos for the WSM

Greetings all, The competition bug has bit me after 2 years of judging and I would like to enter about 5 contests in my area this year. My wife is very supportive of this and is ok with me getting enough WSM,s. I currently have an 18 and ordered a 22.5 I also have a Big Steel Keg. My thoughts...

I was kind of leaning towards ribs myself. But that idea of getting used to the WSM makes perfect sense so ribs it is. As for chicken I can never get that right anyways so another good reason for ribs. On the water pan I was not sold on using it but a buddy of mine that convinced me to get...

Howdy all, I got my 18 inch WSM from amazon today and I have a freezer full of meat. My question is what should I cook to make a good impression with my wife, she really liked this one and said if we like the way it cooks we will probably get the 22. My other smokers are offsets and a Big Steel...

I ordered my first WSM with my federal return and plan on getting a weber kettle or another WSM with my state refund.
