Just wanted to tell you guys that I did my first smoke with my new BS this past weekend. I did a 9# pork butt and it turned out GREAT! I put the rub on Thurs. and let it sit in the fridge over night. I put the meat in around 4:00 Fri afternoon, changed my water at 8:00 and didnt open the door again until my remote thermometer woke me up at 6:00 when the temp hit 185 deg. I set it to cook at 210 deg. and it stayed around 210 - 215 ALL NIGHT. Even with the outside temp dropping a little it still held a steady temp. I really had been reading in this forum all week leading up to my smoke and you guys really hleped me out with things ...I want to thank you ..and I am looking forward to more good smokes.
Congratulations - glad to hear everything came out OK. I assume you read my remarks on your other posting regarding timing. It looks like yours came out right around 1-1/2 hours per pound [:D].
Now you see why it was important to start the night before. Even if you had started at 6:00 am Saturday morning, you wouldn't have been done until 8:00 pm, and then would still have needed some FTC time, all the while with your family/guests staring at you with a hungry look in their eyes...[;)]
Another convert![:)][8D]

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?
I start my Sunday pork butt at 12 noon on Saturday. I get it out at around 5 on Sunday morning, then FTC until I get home from church.
I am the hero...
Went out for lunch with the wife a couple of weeks back - we ate bbq, of course. She had said that she did not like pulled pork. After she tore up the stuff I cooked, I said I thought you did not like pulled pork. She said I did not like Sonny's pulled pork - yours is awesome.
Go me, Go me, its your birthday....

Aloha everyone
Me tooooooooooooooooo.....my first try at pulled pork..it is now history and eat, ate, ett...(if thats a word) I dont know how to post a pic, so if someone could direct me on the finer points of web posting..I will send the first ever Hawaiian Pulled pork...I used soy, garlic, and salt for the rub. I guess this is the smoked Hawaiian kalua Pork...
Mahalo for all the advice...oh yeah my controller worked like a charm and held the temp -/+ 2 deg.

Kamanodental,
Below is a link on the How To Post Images Here. (http://www.bradleysmoker.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1166) It is a long read but much information about foot print, and KB size as well. These items are important as we have dial up folks and a big download will be a killer. Of course your images must be hosted somewhere on the net. Some here use photobucket as it is a free hosting service.
Glad your meal turned out good. If you can do a step by step recipe on it and would like to have it included in our recipe site then you need to post it on the <b></b><font color="blue">Recipe Site.</font id="blue"> (http://www.susanminor.org) The top board is open to member. Unlike this site you can also directly upload pictures into your posting. There is a thread there that will tell you how to upload pictures to that site.
Next once your recipe w/ pictures is uploaded, I will edit it to fit the format we are using and then move it to the correct category.
Glad your smokin' came out so good.
