Smoking Meat?

[jrp]

Bacon is a gift from God, no need to fear it!

Biggest problem is I'm home alone, I opened a bottle of wine, and it is going to run out before the cook is done (see HIFI1260's signature to understand my dilemma).

That's the good thing about the Orion vs. the old Brinkmann... doesn't take near as much alcohol per cook...

May not go to work tomorrow!

Second bottle taking its toll. Seven degrees to go.

Here are the pics. I used a rub from Smoke & Spice, cut in half. Should have cut it to 1/4, but it was very good. Paying the price from the second bottle of wine, but I will persevere.

Naw. No payment is due now. Tomorrow, however, is another story.

So true.

Two pork butts, two trays of atomic buffalo turds, two bulbs of garlic basted in olive oil and a bacon explosion on the smoker.

Smokers

Probably been covered, but....what's a good, occasional use wood smoker around $100.00? Lowes has Brinkmans, but do they last long?

Ah yes, Death By Bacon. And me on a diet!

Personally, I do not think much of Brinkman. But many buy them. Temp regulation is difficult with them, or so I hear/read. That might explain why so many people have them and give up on smoking.

$100? Gonna be tough. Short run savings, long term expense. Might want to check Craig's List for a used 18" Weber.

I got my MasterBuilt around $250.00 at Sam's and have been very pleased with the performance.

Found some huge butts at Kroger. Picked out 4 that were 9.5-10 lbs each. Rubbed them down Mr. Brown style. Threw them on the UDS at 6:30 PM. I use a local brand of lump charcoal called Ozark Oak, and a combo of Hickory and Pecan wood chunks. Pulled them at 7:00 AM. Things cook quicker on the drum The butts totaled almost 40 lbs. Would have taken 15-17 hrs on the WSM. The drum help it's temps comparable to the WSM. Loaded the basket with about 8lbs of charcoal, and had plenty left over. Pulled pork sammies tonight for the Atlanra race, and will vac seal and sell most of whats left. Hope every one is having a great holiday week end.
