Hi all. I smoked some chicken thighs Sunday afternoon and they turned out great! I brined them in pickle juice and fresh ground pepper overnight. Then oiled and rubbed them with SPG. Smoked for two hours @250F with peach wood chips. Finally, I popped them into the broiler for five minutes to...

Hi all, I smoked a 4+lbs pork loin for tomorrow's dinner. How do you recommend I reheat it? I was thinking about wrapping it in foil and heating it in the oven. I primarily want to avoid turning it into jerky. For anyone interested, I rubbed it with garlic powder, onion powder and fresh ground...
