Thanks for the web sites Adam. Looks like I'm gonna have to invest in a bag of dried Black Beans

Just finished cleaning up from dinner. The porchetta turned out awesome. Definitely going with the smoker for the first cook was a good call. The smokiness played well with the fattiness of the pork. It's so rich though, you can't eat a lot of it. I just paired it with a tossed salad which was more than enough. Here's some food **** for you to drool over.

Out of the smoker. 4 hours total around 250F to get to a IT of 165F.

Out of the 500F oven to crisp the skin. Next time I"ll remove the butcher twine so that area of skin can crisp up.

Sliced and ready to eat. Thank god for the electric carving knife. No way a regular knife could get through that.

Here's a link to the recipe I used.

Put 16 lbs of pork butt in the smoker a couple hours ago. First attempt at pulled pork. Planning on a 17 hr smoke.

Mmm...pulled pork. Not sure if you're familiar with the FTC process Vin, but if it gets done before your ready to eat, foil the whole butt (F), wrap in a towel (T) and put in a cooler (C). It'll stay hot for hours.

That pork belly looks fabulous!!!

Chainsaw13 · 01-02-2012, 08:10 AM

Thanks Gator. It tastes phenomenal. Very rich though, even with all of the fat that rendered out. I hope it freezes well, cause I wont be able to eat it all quickly.

That does look great!!

First smoke of the year for me was just a batch of wings for the wife and I. smoked about 3hrs over hickory. Simple bbq style rub with some lemon pepper mixed in. Quick easy and tasty.

Sweet pics there Shawn.

Shawn hines · 01-02-2012, 01:41 PM

Thanks guys, I ended up making the smoker and using that day...
Now the guys want me to make a Texas Brisket for them... OK, if I must

ApexAZ · 01-02-2012, 02:14 PM

Nice work, Shawn. I don't think I could fit a whole pig in mine. Brisket isn't all that easy, but surely it's easier than a whole pig? How did it taste?

Well I smoked 2 and another guy cooked another 2, I got a lot of comments that mine was better and cooked the whole way, I don't think his was.

The pigs were really small so they fit ok, i made the smoker pretty big.

I injected apple juice into the hams and shoulders. smoked for about 12 hrs at 210.

I find brisket to be much easier that whole pig. just got to watch that temp.

Holy Crap those look good. Let me tell you that is not easy cooking whole hog. Nice work.

Shawn hines · 01-11-2012, 11:50 AM

Come on now it aint that hard. Just takes a little time and lots of charcoal, hardest part is keeping your temp just right.

I am doing 2 briskets this weekend, pictures to come

Shawn hines · 01-14-2012, 03:42 AM

Just threw 2 large texas style brisket on the smoker....Pictures to come
