First smoke

TestRocket · May 30, 2010, 02:37:59 PM

Those butts sure look good to me too and the inside of that smoker still looks like mine. Only smoke time can fix that and I was delivered a smoked butt yesterday (middle school cheerleader fund raiser) so no butt cooking for me any day soon.

If you pick that butt up and it falls apart like you described, you know you did it right. Nice going. I moved a butt yesterday from the smoker to a cutting board. Well I moved MOST of it. I started moving it all and just as I cleared the smoker it broke and I left about 1/3 of a butt on the patio. >:( :D

Nice job!

It's supposed to work the other way around.

You do the delivering.

;D ;D

Second finally hit 195 took about 22 hours. FTC right now.

Grabbed the first out of the cooler when that one went in, and pulled it, bone came out clean, it fell apart when I was taking the foil off. This was the one with the gates rub on it. Very tasty. And now for you enjoyment, our feature presentation.

I'm glad I got my bear paws in time for this first smoke.

Looks very nice!

Them Butts are stubborn sometimes.

Way to hang in there!

Looking very good.

Those bear paws are the bees knees.

2nd butt pulled.

Bark stuck to the rack on this one.

Both are delicious, very happy with my first smoke.

Congrats on a great first smoke.

I would get some high temp jerky screens from Yard and Pool, I put them under everything that goes in the smoker.

The stuff that stuck to the rack is the "appetizer"

They look good Sorce. The problem with smoking is the requirement to plan ahead, sometimes WAY ahead ;D

Congrats on your success with the butts.

Great BUTT

Thanks guys there were a bunch of "defective" pieces that I had to eat ahead of time. Quality control is a tough job. ;D
