pork butt

I have been gearing up to this for a while and thought I would share my journey with you all. I got the WSM for my Birthday off my better half and am keen to get cracking! Months of research have brought me to this point and I am almost ready to go this weekend. The only things outstanding are...

I don't know if some of you remember but a couple of years ago I made a smoker out of a Jumbo Joe using a 80 Qt SS stock pot. It's been a really good smoker, probably one of the best I've owned. A while back I started to see how hanging meats would do in it and used different setups. I...

So we have a bunch of people coming over tomorrow night for dinner and I am smoking 2 7 lbs pork butts. They are trussed and rubbed and waiting in the fridge. Now I have never smoked quite that size before. I am thinking of getting up at 3 AM and have the butts on the smoker by 3:30 - 3:45...

Finally checking in after buying my WSM 22.5" for a Christmas present to myself. I've been futzing around with a smoker box on my Weber Genesis but finally gave in and joined the big boys with my WSM purchase. I've been trying to build up a repertoire to honor my Texas roots which includes...

Hello all! The much anticipated delivery of my WSM 22.5 finally happened this week and couldn't wait to cook on it. After lurking on these forums for over a year, I anticipated that my cooker would run hot for the first few times and decided to break in the WSM with a pork butt. I'm now 7 hours...

St Louis style ribs and a butt

Hey everyone! Well, this is my first pork smoke on the wsm 18.5, and I think I might be addicted already! I'm smoking a 6lb boston butt for pulling, and it's been on for about 7 hours at this point. I've smoked a few turkeys and a ham on the wsm, but nothing else until now. The temp was a...

So for my first smoke I cooked almost 12lbs of Pork Butt, took 12hrs. Came out great!

We quit going out for New Year's Eve unless we stay at the hotel a long time ago. So last night we had a slumber party, a few fire works, and watched the ball drop with some of my favorite people. I did some chicken lollipops dusted with BBQ 3000, venison/beef meatballs, among other kid...

Starting a 5 butt (all 8 lbs+) cook this evening on my 22-1/2. The weather looks like rain & wind with temps dropping. I may start the cook a little early to make sure everything gets done and pulled for the party tomorrow afternoon. I'm planning on putting the largest 2 butts on the bottom and...

Buddy was a trooper even at 5:30.

Question , can I make a kettle into an overnite set & forget smoker Set up for a long cook, 130-140 briquittes (7-8 ) lbs with pecan chunks. I think it'll burn 8-10 hours with this load & I could have added 3-4 more lbs. Maze set up, & butt on. Using me I-grill to monitor, haven't used in a...

Doing pulled pork....put it on at 6:45 am for BBQ at 4 PM. Gonna do it at 250 and foil after 5 hours. Filled the water pan and using standard method with apple and pecan chunks. I expect to refuel 1 or 2 times...also coffee before beer.... Will check back as it cooks. -Jeff

Picked up a decent looking small pork butt to be my first one to smoke. All the recipes I have seen thus far involve smoking for 15-20+ hours using 3-4 pork butts. I only have the one as it is really for "practice" being my first one and me still learning my Smoky Mountain Smoker. Plus I...

Check out my BUTT! 9 lbs cooked 11 hours cooker ran from 225-260 Internal was 190 when I removed it and wrapped it in foil to hold for a hour and a half. But it was butter tender so I went ahead and took it off. Everyone pulls there pork. I wanted something different. It was...
