I picked up a few 9 lb Butts today (Fresh Thyme .99/lb until Tuesday) and will smoke 4-6 of them in the 22 this week. "A Butt Rub for Jane" has been my goto for years but what rubs are you using on you pork shoulders? Thinking I should try something new or see whats others are using. I...

I picked up three racks of spares on the lower rack and all the tips on the upper rack in the 22 today with a fire that has stabilized at 254. I cant get it to come down and want to spray but am afraid of letting too much oxygen in taking the top off. I'm using a rub with lots of brown sugar...

Kroger (Pick n save up here) has pork shoulders on sale this week for .99/lb so I thought I'd consider trying something different. For years I have been using "a Butt Rub for Jane" with great results but my mind is open to ideas of something in the tradition of good pork BBQ so I'm thinking of...

I am trying to modify a recipe for Cuban pork shoulder for the grill today. the recipe ( googled from saveuer magazine) is a 30 clove garlic paste with oregeno smeared in and marinated overnight in lime/orange juice. It’s been in the marinade overnight so now to figure the best way to cook...

Hoping all had a great Christmas Holiday.. I have a very nice looking 8 lb bone in Black Angus Choice bone in standing rib roast I'm going to cook today. I don't want to over cook it and am leaning toward using the rotisserie but open to ideas. I try and pull at 125 and rest but the last...

I got lucky and was at Restraunt Depot when they were putting out some excel prime briskets (sold as choice for 2.69/lb) I tend to like rubs that are a little more complex than the salt pepper and garlic that a lot like on the brisket. I’m not taking anything away from that but I saw this and...

Are there any disadvantages to resting Pork shoulder foiled in the ovenset to warm at 155 for a couple of hours rather than putting them into a cooler with towels?

I have been using “Butt rub for Jane” for a number of years now and it’s served me well. I’m doing a large cook tonight/tomorrow probably six shoulders and thinking maybe I should try something else on at least one or two of them. Any recommendations? I would prefer it to be something I could...

I don't get the chance to cook that often so when I saw butts for .99/lb nice non enhanced never frozen at my local Piggly Wiggly I jumped on 2 packages/4 butts 39lbs total. I'm in Milwaukee and though I should get these on before the cold spell hits so I put them on last night at 7:00 pm @ 236...
