4given · March 11, 2012, 11:24:29 AM

Check these out! My next door neighbor brought ove two chuck roasts to smoke and told me I could keep one. Rubbed thgen down with oil & Jan's Rub. So I cold smoked them for 4 hours, took his to him and put mine in the crock pot on low overnight. Turned out was good! Pulled Beef!

Here is the pulled beef:

Saturday morning took my other pork butt that I cut in half and had been in the fridge for a day with the Jan's rub soaking in into the Bradley. Smoked it for 5 hours and finished cooking it in the Bradley at 255 until it got to 195. I FTCed it overnight. I opened up this morning and pulled it before church! Man o Man! It was WAY BETTER than the first! Here are the pix!

Rubbed & rested...........

After 16 hours in the Bradley.............

This morning after an overnight FTC. it was still warm!

My first smoker (BS611) should arrive Wed or Thur. I have a couple questions from this thread....what is FTC and where do I get Jan's rub?

You make the Jan's Rub:

Jan's Rub Regular

Jan's Rub Spicy

FTC stands for Foil-Towel-Cooler. After whatever you're smoking is finished cooking you can keep it warm by wrapping it in foil, then a towel and then placing it all in a cooler or ice chest for a few hours. Comes in handy if the food gets done sooner than you expected and you have people coming over at a certain time. Also, the FTC for a few hours helps redistribute the juices in the meat before slicing or pulling. I usually add a bit of apple juice in the foil.

The cooler or ice chest should contain no ice. It should be empty. You can also use a microwave oven instaed of a cooler, just make sure no one comes along and turns it on.

BTW, Jan of Jan's Dry Rub fame is my wife! 8)
