Maybe for our northern brethren this slow down Brad... Me... I am just getting started after several months of it being too hot to enjoy cooking out in the barn.

A while back someone asked to see my charcoal maze. Here it is:

Under the charcoal on the left side are four chunks of cherry. I light the far left corner and let it get up to 250 or so. Then I put the meat on and put on the Stoker. Depending on how much I am cooking and how warm it is outside it will usually run from 16-24 hours on that maze.

Tonight I am doing 71 pounds of pork for a benefit at church tomorrow:

Nice.
Did some St.Louis ribs today. Wife loved them, but said tbe smoker must be moved further from the house. Smoke smell inside. Still learning, but learned some things today about my smoker.

That's what it is all about. Once you learn you smoker and can deal with the differences in temp/humidity it is all downhill from there. Kinda like setting up up a humi!!!

That's the way to load up a smoker! I'll have the Lang loaded up again in a couple of weeks I think. Cooler weather DEFINITELY makes it more enjoyable. The last time feed the firebox I don't think it got below 90* that night with about 90% RH. Not real comfortable tending a firebox!

used a little too much smoke, and all I had was oak, so it isn't necessarily made up for with taste.
But man LOOK at the cook job on these BBRs!

Default Re: What's in your smoker?

As tender as any I have ever made, but I think that is more the first time ever cooking baby backs
that did that. But I have taken to smoking first for about 90 mins at 200 and then when the smoke dies down,
I stoke the coals again and let em roast for an hour around 250 then I just let the heat die out for another hour
and pull em, provided the meat has shrunk off the bone ends enough to suit me.

Somehow I snapped a pic before I devoured it.

Finally, after 7 hours they passed the bend test! Sorry, I was hungry and barely remembered to snap a pic.
