DM
Well I must have tried it years ago to decide I did not like it.
I have probably tried 200 kinds of mustard, never run out of options in the German Midwest or get back to the ones I like. My son consumes ketchup it by the cubic yard.  I did however like fries with curry ketchup from the gut truck some 30 years ago... I guess I will like ketchup with vinegar onion,garlic, spices smoke...etc...

I recognize it is a base for many fine sauces. I will try yours when I find or make ketchup without corn syrup. Vinegar makes me think Lexington style...

Did I read right that you've never had Ketchup???  How is that even possible?  lol.  Anyways, here's a ketchup/vinegar-based sauce that is my family's favorite!

St Louis-style BBQ Sauce

Give it a try, and let me know what you think!

It seems that I am destined to do a rack of baby backs or more correctly, loin back ribs. That was the first thing I smoked in my first Big Steel Keg, the first thing I smoked in my Traeger. It seems only right that I stick with tradition ;)

Well shoot! It looks like I am going to break the tradition and forgo the ribs. I was planning on smoking a butt for some friends for Good Friday, was going to put it on one of the kegs but as luck would have it, the #3 came today so.....change of plans!

I did the DM brine on a wittle bitty 6.5 butt, gonna slap that sucker in the SI sometime tonight after the seasoning is done and it has cooled down and let it ride! I'll update once I get to taste that rascal!

Will do DM! Good, bad, or indifferent I'll post my honest opinion of what I think about it. I have to say, I am shocked by how little wood you guys say to use for smoke. I put 5oz in for the butt and was worried that it was way too small of an amount. As it turns out, maybe 5oz is too much for a butt that small (again, blowing my mind!) so I hope it turns out properly smoked.

First pork butt on the SI3. The meat stalled at 153 and I had some time constraints so I foil wrapped it with a shot of apple cider. Temps rose steadily from there - pulled it at 200 IT, wrapped in a towel in the cooler for 90 minutes. After cutting the twine off the bone pulled right out. After pulling I poured what was left in the foil over the pork. Turned out better than I could have imagined - the family and guests loved it. Thanks for all the great advise from the forum members. Next - another pork butt in 10 days for my old running buddies who are coming down to crappie fish here on KY lake....

Jim
It was crazy good!
In general Steelhead stands out over Salmon with some intangible qualities that I favor.  The Smokin-It3 makes it super easy.  Large fish was what pushed me into the 3 and I have no regrets! The form 15x20+ rack factor is great! 

I do want to obtain some of the Western Red Alder to try in lieu of the Apple Wood on the next Steelhead run in the SI3.

By the way your pulled pork with the cider crutch smoked mine. That looks 27.44% more moist!  Mine was very good but that looks great!

Regards,

Matt
