Hello, new to the site. Been trying to smoke for many years. Not to well. However I still enjoy trying. I have been reading different techniques and recipes. Hope to gain knowledge and contribute some recipes I have tried. My 16yo son I hope will pickup and be even better at smoking than I. Better to smoke and grill than sit at a dadgum computer all day..

We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

Welcome to the Pit! I recommend that you work on a Boston Butt for a while and safely build experience and your confidence. The butt is a very forgiving piece of meat, and you can get great results with temps ranging from 225-300. Work toward an internal temperature of 200-203. In so doing will learn your cooker, get rave reviews from your family and guests, and your experience with the cooker and temperatures will prepare you for more challenging cuts of meat. Personally, I aim for a cooker temp of 225 and an internal meat temp of 200. Be prepared to smoke for a 12-16 hour and figure out the best way for you to deal with the stall (generally from 160-180) - wrap or ramp up the temp.

Thank y'all for the thoughts. Tomorrow will try St. Louis ribs with some great ideas on my 22" Weber. I ordered a SnS looking forward to trying it out. Tonight I am using a XMAS gift from my wife to make some jerky for my son and me. She is not a big meat person. Filet Mignon is O.K. if done correctly.

Been away for awhile. Work get's in the way of living. I did get to do 4lb butt for tacos. Turned out great.
Ten days ago I cured 6lbs pork belly and smoked it on my 22" weber with the slow and sear which was recommend
by y'all. Major problem!!! Not enough as I fried the bacon the family gobbled it up. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT ADVICE.
Just yesterday I put a brisket in the brine for pastrami. Two weeks is a long time to wait but if it turns out like the
bacon it will be worth it.Last edited by ronbodakid; September 15, 2016, 05:18 PM.
