I want to do a brisket and a couple of butts in the same smoker. Should I put the brisket on the top or the bottom? I use the factory set-up with water in the pan. In the past, I've basically only done butts and chicken. I've not done a brisket on a smoker, and I was wondering if it's...

Interesting... we've always had great smoke rings, and I didn't realize how much science went into achieving those... guess it was just luck every time on our part.

My two cents have to go towards a curious animal. You may want to have your neighborhood checked for ROUS's (anyone else seen The Princess Bride?). That or Bigfoot.

We've used drippings to flavor different BBQ sauces as well - it truly does make a huge difference.

That's been my experience as well - it's nice to find a place online where everyone is so willing to share their knowledge and help out people they may have never met before. Very refreshing and helpful to say the least!

What kind of smoke wood did you use?

We tried injecting our first butt and with our second butt all we did was rub it down with a similar seasoning to what the injection had. The flavor was better with the one that was rubbed rather than the one that was injected. There was definitely a difference, but if you really want to...

Yeah, Sonny's has some of the best BBQ I've found in a restaurant. Before we started Qing ourselves, we thought it was the best stuff on earth. Like Ray said, now that we have a new set of standards I would rate it as good - definitely above passable but not as good as home smoked. In...

Wow, those wings and ribs look great! Even though I just had breakfast, I'm hungry again.

When you don't have time to marinade and it's something that you think needs an extra flavor kick, I think injectors are okay. Honestly, I don't see much of a difference between a good rub and an injection on smoked meat, since whatever makes up the rub will work its way through the meat...

I think Sav-A-Lot is selling their BBQ rub per pound now. That is a good inexpensive rub that tastes good in everything. We get their chicken wing family pack and have them rub them down with that stuff; throw them in the oven or on the smoker, and they're phenomenal.

I hope everything goes well (or should it be "went well" by now?) with your cook. If I may throw in a couple of pennies, I would definitely pull before chilling. We've tried the other way - chilling, then reheating to pull - when we were young and ignorant of smoking meat. We were able to...

Update: I made a big batch of this stuff, 3x the recipe because it was a big get-together. I thought it was a little too ketchup-y. The next time I made the sauce for a 3x recipe, my mixture was 2 12oz cans of Coke (24 oz), 2 1/3 cups kethup, and 1 cup packed brown sugar. That one turned out...

We try to keep about 3-5 different kinds of sauce for everyone's different tastes.

Touché... I'll have to try that sometime. It makes my mouth water thinking about it.

We took this sauce to a cookout on Saturday (as well as the No. 5 sauce) and the people who enjoy vinegar sauces loved this one. I know Bethany is especially fond of vinegar-based and I don't think that between this, No. 5, and a few more sauces we'll ever buy anything from the supermarket...

It works for us as well! Bethany decided to make some of this to go with our latest butt that we took to a cookout on Saturday. There was very little pork left and even less of this sauce. Excellent work on it! Everyone wanted to know what it was!
