    I once kept 3 butts in an Igloo Extreme for 9 hours-they came off at about 9:45 am at 198 F, and at 6:30 when I pulled them, they were at 154. I double wrapped them in foil, preheated the cooler with a bunch of hot water, the put a beach towel underneath and a fleece throw on top. I kept...

    I really like the idea of the vinegar based slaw... I will certainly try that. I am intrigued with making a few racks the day before. If I don't vac pack them, how do I heat them? Maybe I slice the ribs into 4 slice sections and serve them as a appetizer. People do really seem to love...

    Butts done too early!

    Yeah, that cooler performed well. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but it wasn't that much. My neighbor lent me one of his for the beer, and it still has a majority of the ice left in it today. Thanks again for everyone's help.

    Butts done too early!

    I grossly overestimated how long it would take for my 3 pork butts to get done. Dinner is at 7 tonight, and at 8 am they are now all at 190 F. The BBQ Guru is in ramp mode, and the dome temperature is something like 200F. Question: Do I take them off, let them rest, pull them, and then...

    Looking For A Picture Of That Instrumented WSM

    Hi all, A year or two back, someone posted a picture of his well-instrumented WSM. I think that there may have been two setups, one with a multiple of thermometers, and the other looked to have a weather station as well. Anyone know where I can find these pictures? Thanks, Trevor

    Rubbing A Brisket

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if you dry a brisket before rubbing it, or if you rub as is. My hands usually cake up with rub when I rub it wet. Thanks, Trevor

    ET-73

    Hey everyone, I just got a ET-73, and it seems to be working great. I put it in my refrigerator to measure the temperature, and it kept receiving for the several hours I had it in there. (The front of the fridge is stainless steel, which I would imagine is harder to transmit through than...
