Who likes to smoke their meat?

[Dingo]

Did a whole chicken today, only salt added. Temps were good, was done in 2.5 hrs and look at that juice.

I have a fresh kielbasi going on next.

Smoked Pork Loin using pecan and a KC rub - around 3lb hunk
Waited a bit too long to take it off, and the temp ran up about 10f high -
so could have been more medium than medium+ - still nice and juicy, good
smoke flavor.

Had family over for a father's day gathering. Costco 3 Pack. Salt. Pepper. Garlic. Smoked in with some apple chips. 3.5 hrs. Mostly fall off the bone. Probably should have taken up to 200* from 190*.

Late start. Ran out of rub!
Not a problem.

Three racks and a shoulder today

Might have meant something different then?

You doing annual 4th lite this year?

 

[Dingo]

I just put on 4 chicken breasts with wings. No rub or wood, just charcoal smoke.

Just a couple of kids - the neighbors are going to come out at 9 for the pyrotechnic event.
which is also limited to what was on-hand.

Pulled pork tonight!

The pork butts I picked up from Costco already had the shoulder bones removed. It makes the butt split a little during the cook but it also provides more surface area for rub.

Bold move.
Considering there’s about 47 seconds between rare and MW on a loin, I would never attempt this.

Nice work. A suggestion if your curious about maximum juicyness of your pulled pork... I smoke my butts in a foil pan to capture all the jus along with a silicone roasting rack underneath the butt to get it up out of the liquid. A few rolled up pieces of alum foil into logs can also suffice. At the end, i pour off the jus into a fat separator and then once i shredded the entire butt, add the liquid back in to add moisture back in. This really helps keep the pork from getting chalky as it tends to do while sitting out and if you save some overnight or in the freezer. Having the butt in the pan also makes it easy to throw a sheet of foil over top to tent it and speed past the stall if you are one to wrap. You also retain even more moisture from the stall this way. Just a friendly tip!

This is what I do. Helps with wrapping and retaining the juices.

I'm pretty new to the smoker thing but luckily the ribs were damn good.

9 lb. butt ready to go. Should leave enough time to go to shop, bang out 15-20 repairs, go for a road ride and come home and stare at this some more.

 

[JonF]

Is it done yet? we're hoooooongry!
