    First smoke is tonight!

    You shouldn't have troubles fitting that bad boy on there. I've done it where I hump it up in the middle so the ends make it on. I doesn't have to sit flat on the grate. I fit an 18 lb. chuck roll on last year. Enjoy, your in for a big treat tomorrow!

    Skinless Chicken?

    Dale, brine as usual, don't remove skin, just seperate skin from meat by sliding your fingers carefully between the two. Apply rub directly to the meat and pull skin back down over the rub. Smoke as always then remove the skin, your chicken will come out nice and moist this way.

    boston butt

    Nicole, I've never brined one so I don't know how that will affect the cook time. I always cook at 210* and butts take me 2 - 2 1/2 hours per pound. I alway give my self extra time because they can be foiled and held for a long time in a cooler.

    unused fuel

    I've always saved my unburnt fuel and re-use it in the next burn. 1 or 2 days after the cook, I dump the grate on a piece of wire mesh over a pail and stir the coals around. The ash all falls off and the teeny tiny pieces fall through and I'm left with some good size briquets. I mix them in with...

I think that these butts were the juciest that I've done to date. I am under the impresstion that after it goes through...

    "Leave 'em in" meat thermometers

    Larrys right. You don't want to open the lid to check your meat temps. Look into a probe type of thermometer. There are plenty mentioned in threads on this site.
