It's been quite awhile since I've been on the forum, but I've got 4 small boneless PB going right now. They average about 4 lbs each. It's small but that's the way Harter House puts them out. Trimmed and tied and $1.89 lb. I put them on at 9:45, two Mr Browns and two KC Sweet and Smokey. Since...

I've got 4 pb (all Mr Brown) on the WSM, started at 9:30PM. I wanted it a little later but I guess I'm getting into the prep routine a little better. There are 2 boneless on the bottom and 2 bone in in the top grate. My lid temp is reading 250* and my Maverick is reading 208* at the grate. It...

I bought some bulk spices from Penskys and was wondering about the best way to store it. I put some in containers I had and the rest I left in the original baggy and then put them in foodsavers. Should these be kept in the freezer or the cabinet?

After a couple false starts, I'm planning on doin 4 racks tomorrow. I have a william senoma rib rack and figure to get all 4 on top grate. Weather predicted to be close to 40* and 5-10 mph breeze. A couple questions. Why is the standard method used by most rather than mm? I also am debating...

I want to cook 4 slabs of spares soon. With only two of us, I want to foodsaver some of these. Questions - Is it safe to freeze ribs? I think it is, but never hurts to ask. Also, would it be better to freeze in larger pieces or go ahead and cut into serving size?

I just picked up a water heater jacket and noticed it is vinyl faced. Should I return it and look for foil faced?

A little history with my Maverick. Mine had no distance originally. I sent it to Maverick and it came back working great. My first cook with it, I kinked the coil and ended up with the HHH problem. Called Maverick, they sent a new prob - it’s a food probe with the bigger coil, but they work the...

Ive got 4 pb in the fridge, Mr Brown rub. They are on the small side. Trimmed they are 6#2', 5#9oz, 5#4oz and 4#8oz. I was planning on putting them on at 10pm but might wait until midnight. Could be done in 12 hrs or less (or more). Will use some oak, apple and hickory - 2/2/1. My question is...

Anyone know how many bone out PB you can get on a standard WSM at a time? The PB are on sale and they say they average between 3.5-4lbs. I'm thinking you might put 4 on a grate, is that realistic? By the way, these are pre-trimmed (very close) and tied for $1.89lb this week.

My local meat store is having a pretty good sale this week. Boston Port Roast (PB no bone) for $189lb. Spares for $1.99lb and Baby back ofr $3.99lb. I'm hoping the bone in pb is reduced accordingly. These prices are all about $1.00lb off normal. Should I pork up and freeze? Any suggestions...

Has anyone had any experience with Smokey Mountain Knife Works? I'm looking at Forschner knives and they have some great prices.

I've got a 10lb brisket thawing in the fridge and two pork butts, a total of 14.4lbs waiting in the fridge for the brisket to thaw. I imagine the pb's are about the same size, so say 7lbs apiece. With the PB on top and brisket on the 2nd rack, which cut should I expect to finish first? I have a...

Getting ready for my first rib cook. I have 2 slabs of spareribs, total weight around 6.5lbs. I'm going to use the Kansas City Sweet and Smokey rub. How long should I let the rub set before the cood? Is overnight ok? Also, is it necessary to baste? I'd rather leave the lid down as much as...

I have two slabs and a brisket in the freezer. My refrigerator runs pretty cold and I figure it will take at least two days to thaw. I think three days for raw meat in the fridge is about max, does that count the thawing time or can the time be strung out? It's hard for me to plan ahead as my...

I bagged my leftover pulled pork in 1lb servings. When re-heating using the boiled bag method, do I really need to thaw first? Second, how long to boil without overcooking - ball park figure.

Went to the local meat specialty store to see if they had butts not enhanced. Turns out none of their pork is enhanced - good thing. They called their butts pork roasts. The strange part is they were all around 3lbs. Isn't that abnormally small? Probably good for me, cooking for two people, but...
