    Cannot get my temps down - any ideas?

    I am cooking a butt tonight and I put a full ring of Kingsford in along with about 2 fist-sized chunks of Hickory. I had the bottom vents all the way open and the top as well until it came up to 250. I closed the bottoms to 25% and the temps kept rising. I now have it at all vents closed on...

    A Killer Mop Recipe

    This is a mop I use when I cook whole or half hogs. This is kinda a cross between a mop and a sauce as you can use it on the hog in its last hour of cooking and also mix it in with the pulled pork as a sauce after it's done. Naturally - you want to keep your stuff used as mop separate from your...
