I'm really hoping this smoker works out. I've done this before with little success. After much research, I've decided to start out with pork butt because it is pretty much fool proof. Once that is mastered, I'll move on to ribs, then poultry, finally graduating to brisket.

Take your time and the most valuable lesson I can give,
Don’t keep peeking at it, your letting out heat.

My good friend used to CHAIN the lid down and padlock it to keep neighbors from “just looking”.

I don't know how you do this all the time. Seems like every time I DUFU, I forget something. This time I had to go back after I posted it to Blogger because I forgot to title it.

Hope you used a dry rub.

Never put that BBQ sauce on meat before smoking.
If you must use sauce keep it watery/vinegary/spicy(mustard adds a zip too) and mop the stuff on as the meat cooks.

Never use a sugar based sauce while cooking

"It's the weekend and I'm taking the smoker I received for Father's Day on it's maiden run with a five pound butt end of a picnic shoulder."

You will love it!! I bought a smoker last year and used it for the Thanksgiving turkey, and have used it occasionally ever since. I have yet to have a bad experience with it.

The Thanksgiving turkey was incredible!

The ham at Christmas was awesome!!!

It's fun experimenting with different types of wood and seasoning, with different kinds of meat. So far the Thanksgiving turkey was the most fun to fix. It was my first time using the smoker, and having a fairly large turkey, I lit up the charcoal for it at 4AM Thanksgiving morning(it was windy and freezing outside) to have it done by the planned for dinner time. I almost think it's impossible to fix a bad meal using the smoker. Just don't over do it on the wood, especially Hickory, because too much Hickory gives the meat a very bitter taste.

Wow! Thanks for your DUFU Paul!

We’ve certainly had our share of divisions on FR and I’m sad that there are people who’ve been booted from here for a little too much vitriol in their support or derision of certain candidates.

However, the division at DU is much FUnnier

Now, faithful readers of DUmmie FUnnies know that PJ Comix prefers those $1.50 DiGiorno pizzas...

They upped the price to $2.00 but still a good deal. And RIGHT NOW I have a large DiGiorno pizza cooking in the oven.

“I’m really hoping this smoker works out.”

210 degrees F. 8-9 hours. It’s very easy to use too much smoke. Moderately load the smoke box two times. After that, just let it cook. It will be done when you can pull the meat with tongs.

If you have an injector, mix some rub with apple juice and a little vinegar. Inject that into the shoulder before starting.

Aside from the fact that Perry is bats—t crazy, he makes some excellent points. Just goes to show the DUmmies really know Obama is a poor candidate. They just choose to go into denial.

The absolute BEST way to cook meat is with La Caja China. You can PROFESSIONALLY cook an entire pig in it in just 3 hours and 40 minutes. An enclosed system with the charcoal tray OVER the meat. Uses both heat and pressure to cook. When pig is done it will taste as good as any Cuban style gourmet pork. You can find videos about this online. Al Roker highly recommended it.

Locking. Divisive. Flamebait.

Laughing. Delightful. FUnnie.

Ha! Maybe we should invite this Perry Logan to be a Guest DUFUist and skewer Obama! He does a good job of it!

So, Perry, I heard that even the nuts at DU don’t like you anymore....

Can’t say I blame them, but surely someone of your caliber, someone who has fought the good fight and provided us and future generations with hours of entertaining and absurd rants, should get a little more respect from your lessers. To get the granite monument for speaking truth to power- that has to suck.
