Very exciting times over here. My first real smoker...received as a gift. Fired it up this morning for the first time. Holding a very steady 210-230. Pork butt went on at 9am.
Out of the fridge after an overnight with some dry rub. Stubbs sauce not used...just a size gauge. It's kinda smushed from sitting in a large mixing bowl. ![]() Warming up in the morning sun. ![]() The beginning ![]() After 2 hours ![]() After 4.5 hours ![]() More pics to follow! |

A little unsolicited recommendation:
1. Use a sauce that goes light on the tomato. 2. Go light on the sauce. This will help you taste the smoke nuances.* *Disclaimer: I know that barbecue philosophy can be an expression of personal identity and a source of pride and I'm not looking to step on any toes. ![]()

That looks sweet... now stop looking at it!!!! If you get impatient wrap it in foil once it gets to 170 internal. That will speed things up a bit. Either way... take it to 195, let it rest for an hour in a cooler, and pull that bad boy!!!

Another little tip is to cut your sauce with a little apple juice and apple cider vinegar to thin it out a little.
Looks super yummy. Thats my B-Day gift to myself is a new smoker. Have not picked it out yet. I will miss my 11 year old one but the bottom is rotting out and the electric thermostat is shorting out. Man, the old smoker smells sooooo yummy with the years of thick resin built up inside. ![]() |
