Kind of pisses you off don't it. I now consider that if my favorite butcher shop is up to 5-10% higher the price is the same (as Wal-Mart?s packaged stuff). If a meat person is out in when I am in the Wal-Mart store I complain about it. Not much they are going to do about it as long as most...

Original water pan works well with sand. Fill to about an inch or so of the top. Don't shake the base too much - it will fall in.

Yea. Two sheets of foil on top. Replace just the top one for a quick clean-up.

Cut in half? I have learned to not foil the brisket - tasts like pot roast.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> tips for a rookie <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Ribs are good and take about 6 hours. Sams et.al. have a two pack of spare ribs for about $1.7 / pound. The simple rubs & sauces are the best. (For a good rib sauce see britu I.E. I like...

Won't leaving the pan empty make for a hotter cook?

And the look your wife gives you as you apply a thick coating of mustard is worth it. (Or anyone else that sees it). This ain't your daddies pork butt.

It is mostly a crispy skin thing (why to smoke chicken at a higher temp). If you time it, it will work. Plan on maybe 6 hours for the ribs and ... I can't remember what beer can chicken takes.

I've been trying to give away apple wood (have a small orchard). If you are around mid Illinois I can get you a years supply of apple in a few minutes. Otherwise I end up burning it.

I have been making my own. Using an old shaker I custom make the rub every time. Usually half brown sugar and other spices (salt, paprika, garlic, onion, pepper, etc).

I use relatively more sugar for beef ribs and less spicy. Different sauce than for pork. More hickory and less apple wood.

Faulty thermometer? Wet charcoal?

I have about the same question. Did a search for "pork butt time" and found some of the answers last time I asked. Looks like I should expect about 12+/- hours for an 8-pounder. Wrap in foil after. March butt From what I remember from the last time keep the temp low and slow. Not so many...

Is peoria packing as good as alwins?

Wes, I sent you an e-mail with directions. If you think it ain?t enough we can cut some more. Most of old trees needs trimming. A few trees need severe trimming ? may split with a good load of apples.

And on that subject, if you are around my area (north of Peoria, South of Princeton Illinois) feel free to pickup some apple wood. I ended up burning a 10-foot pile of mostly apple branches a week ago. Saved the bigger chunks and have enough to share. This coming up winter I will have more...

Thanks Dave!

Thanks Jim. Any experience on how long is would to defrost a 12 or 15 pounder?

I think the wife is giving me a hint. All told I noticed about 30 pounds of pork butt in the freezer or about to be frozen. I have a 15lb Sam?s package of pork butt but do not want to cook it in the immediate future. Does it work freezing the whole double butt package or re-bag in one gal bags...

1. I have read the experts opinion that different areas of the WSM have different temps. 2. Makes my eyes water.
