Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Damn pork butt stalled out at 169 for an 1.5 hours at 225. So I pulled it after 8 hours of cooking, wrapped it in foil, cranked it up to 275. It's been stuck at 189 now for 30 mins....so damn hungry

 

That's why I just put that ass in at night when I go to bed. If it hits target temp before the desired eatin time, you wrap it up tight and bury it in a holding cooler or cambro for a couple hours! Besides, resting it makes it better!!

 

It's the learning curve my friend!

 

Firing it up for an all night smoke. I have 14 pounds of Boston butt on (a 6 and an 8). I have 8 pounds of chicken lollipops that I'll be putting on around 3 tomorrow. All of this is for a block party.

 

I grill trip tips quite a bit - never smoked one tho. You should be able to feed 3 - 4 people per. Good luck!

EDIT: 3-4 big eaters. I usually cook for 4 to 6 people (mostly girls) and we aren't big eaters so we have leftovers. I'd say figure 8 oz per person depending on your group and go from there.

 

Thank you sir!

 

How was it??

 

Ehhhh ok. I'll have to change up the recipe

 

Put her on about 3:30am (Baby feeding and diaper time). Still looking for more color before I wrap.

 

I would say 10oz per adult and 6oz per child. I prefer to grill tri tip and not smoke it. There's not a lot of fat to render so it can become dry in a hurry.

 

Progress. The pork has been going for around 9.5 hours... Currently at 163. The naked fatty went on about 5 minutes before this picture and should be done in time for a late breakfast.

 

A pretty good website with lots of useful info: http://howtobbqright.com/

 

Not sure but I don't think I every saw a stall. Moved it down to 200 to slow the cook.

 

What app is that?

 

It the green mountain grill pellet grill app.

 

Thanks!

 

Naked fatty... So good

 

Finally done! Holy shit. 12.5 hours. Went to 202 and probed like butter. Foiled and in the cooler. Pics to come.

I will say I need to figure out how someway to get the temperature more consistent across the grill. Anyone with a pellet pooper have this problem or a solution?
