I have never brined a butt. But I am thinking about trying it this weekend. I usually inject my butts before cooking. With brine do you forgo the injection or do both? Injection Salt Sugar apple juice water Worcestershire sauce

I did a search and could not find it. I was curious if someone has a good recipe for burnt ends so I do not have to wing it. I am getting 4 lbs of pork belly from a local butcher. I am thinking my rib rub, brown sugar, honey, and bbq sauce. I was going to cut into 1" cubes  Rub them down...

Ok So here is my issue. 1. I want to smoke a turkey for Thanksgiving. 2. We camp for thanksgiving. 3. Smoker goes in the Garage of a toyhauler with a Kegerator. 4. I have the briner in both sizes. 5. I have a 14.8lb turkey. (Smallest I could find) 6. I plan to use Fruit Chunk, Cherry...

I am looking at getting the upickum pack. 50lbs. I know I want Cherry as one of the options. But do I get Sweet Cherry or wild cherry? 2 of the sites that are reccomended. 1 says Orchard wood is best and 1 says wild is best. Any thoughts here. I mean is there a difference and if there is which...

Ok over a couple beers this weekend I had a conversation with a buddy that also smokes alot of meat. I did not believe something he said. I said Meat does not absorb smoke after ~140 deg F, which he agreed with but he said if you want it to be really smokey can can put it back in the fridge and...

Anyone ever try one of these. I personally think the worst part of Brining is figuring out the damn container to do it in. This seems like a great option for the container challenged as myself. http://www.cabelas.com/product/THE-BRINER/1770468.uts?slotId=6#tabsCollection

Ok so my #3 arrived today. How can they ship this thing for Free? I got out the dolly and went to bring it in the house. First thought. Is this thing is a Tank, i did not think I was going to get it out of the box. Way heavier than expected. Well packed and well built. Easy to put together and...

Ok I have a recipe that is easy to do and turns out amazing. Now this is not a Recipe where I have exact measurements. You will need. Fresh Rosemary Fresh Thyme Fresh Sage Olive oil Brown Sugar Amaretto Ok Take a small hand full of each of these and chop them up really fine. We have a bowl...

Just ordered at number #3 I hope it is what I expect.  5" shorter than my current but 13" deeper.  I think it is a logical progression.

Can anyone recommend a PID with WIFi built in? I think if I am going the route of adding a PID when I get my #3 one with Wifi that I can monitor via an App from anywhere would be nice. My ideal situation is to be able to monitor it and control it during long smokes from other places than home. 

I am looking for a smoker that someone may be looking to upgrade. I am hoping for a #3 or so. If you are considering upgrading but want to get rid of what you have first let me know. Lets see if we can make a deal.

I had a friend tell me he uses pancake syrup on ribs as a binder. Anyone???
