What's in your smoker? - Page 58

Waiting on an 8lb Boston Butt to finish off. I was shooting for an 18 hour cook a about 215-220, butt I think the fire stoked itself overnight. I woke up to 237* at the grate. Meat temp is now 187. Dumped the temp back down. Sitting at 215* not with the meat at 192.

What did you use in the brine besides salt?

BTW, I've noticed that some woods leave more pronounced smoke rings than others. I think the most pronounced ones that I've had were from cherry, but hickory was definately up there too.

I cooked up my brine in about 1/2 gallon of water on the stove, but put enoguh ingredients for 3 gallons since I was pouring it directly over ice to melt and dilute it.

I used salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, garlic and onion powder, some bbq seasoning (cheap stuff from the store), crushed red pepper flakes, and i think thats about it.

Oh duh i forgot a major part, a healthy dose of syrup to bring in some sugar to the brine which i honestly dont know if it makes a difference or not on the syrup but im sticking with whats working

Ugly Drum Smoker, sometimes alternately called Upright Drum Smoker.

A 55gal drum that's been turned into a smoker.

Off the top of my head, kgoings, gonesledn and bigash have them (they aren't the only ones, just the only ones I can remember right this second) and they have a few photos of them scattered in the thread.

Wes has some photos of the construction of his here:

Nice ingredient list. I use a very small amount of thyme in most of my BBQ rubs too, opens up a whole new set of flavors.

Corn. Maple is way expensive here and my wife gave me the "look" when I wnated to pick up some of that. Ive used molassas before and I cant tell a difference.

Now it gets a nap for a while before pulling.
