do it!

Lot's of good options out there. Maybe even check craigslist? Id take a good look at the Weber Smokey Mountain as a SOLID entry into the world of smokers.

Been doing the diet thing for 6 mnths now. I've even cut back on beer (eeeeh). The weather decent, its time to jump off the wagon and get some ribs going on the pit. Mouth is watering in anticipation.

Thanks. I'll check it out. Been doing a lot of fishing lately so I think a smoker is quickly becoming a necessity.

Ribs n brisket from a couple weeks ago

Finished brisket: Beautiful little meteorite.

 

[Gixxer]

Haha little meteorite!! I love it. Today I cooked a rack of untrimmed spares hot n fast no foil till they weeped that pig honey! Rubbed with yardbird just to try it. Came out pretty decent, it could've gone another 30 min or so, just a bit fatty.

This thread looks awesome! Going to be flipping through the pages for a while for ideas. Just picked up a mak 1 star pellet pooper, can't wait to put it to use.

Thanks it was awesome. How much did 40 lbs of shoulder cost?

Huge family get together. Every time I make this, it disappears. I was asked to do another 30 for work next week. People like big butts (pork shoulder that is). On average I would say I smoke up 40 lbs a month. Pork shoulder is great with cherry wood and a hint of pecan smoke. I made the mistake at the last family get together of doing 10 lbs and we ran short. Not happening again lol. I can fit 40 comfortably in my modified electric smoker.

Looking through all these post there are some very impressive and mouth watering photos.

Total $65 with tax. Not a bad deal at all. I buy from a little meat market next to me to show support for small business and they are great about getting me good cuts of meat. Really cool people there. I really need to give them some homebrew because they are just awesome.

You really need to take care of those people. I get my beef from my family's farm, and I get my pork from a local farmer that raises hogs. My dad and I go half's on a whole hog from him.

Smoking a ton of stuff - got some buckboard bacon curing right now for smoking later, going to do a chicken or two and, why the heck not, I'll throw a brisket in there as well.

Also got that sausage grinder/stuffer attachment for the mixer, so I'll try my hand at making some brats and maybe even making some fresh ground hamburger. Should be a glorious, gluttonous weekend.

 

[johngottshall]

Smoking 10lbs.pork butt,brats,chicken quarters for sundays annual picnic.wash it all down with sangrias made with grape mead. That I made a few months ago.

 

[DrewschBag]

I'll be popping the cherry on my cheap new smoker with a couple of butts.

 

[unclevername]

I have 25 lbs of boston butt I will be smoking tomorrow. Along with a black bean recipe that sits on the smoke for three hours. I swear the beans are so good mmmmm.

 

[jeepinjeepin]

Memorial weekend is upon us. The big smoke continues. I don't know how many butts we are smoking. Attendance varies. There will probably be 70-90 people show up. We could probably put BBQ in at least 110 people's mouths.

Wish I had a source for cherry and pecan. Living in south Florida oak is available and in my area we have some maple but that's about it. I can buy the others at speciality shops but trying to heat my smoker with wood from those guys would require another mortgage.

That's why we bring the temp up with white oak, smoke for a while with fruit and nut woods, and finish the cook with more white oak.

I live in north Florida and have the same problem. It gets expensive to smoke with bought hardwood. Try finding you a citrus grower and see if he has trees that he has cleaned out. The flavor from the trees works amazing on pork!

Never thought about citrus, we have several groves around. I bet that would be good and uniquely Florida.

Where in North Florida? I have family around Tallahassee.
