That's the old standard. I wouldn't own anything else for a charcoal grill.

 

Edit to add: you are doing something wrong if your shoulders are coming out greasy.

one video i watched the guy cut the fat off....i didn't do that, figured that was flavor :wacko:

I've never cut the fat off. Are you smoking them?

 

And when you do, you want to slow cook em at 225, 1 hour for every pound. Smoke em until the internal temp is 200

 

bottom line.... (smokin) on my gas grill was a joke....to small an area ta get any indirect goin....it's just a cluster and heat was my main problem...the vidoes have helped alot...seperatin coals/all on one side everybody does chit different but like ya say that 225 is always the staple and somethun i've never controled

anybody have a problem with this

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?...uct_id=10756112

i used ta like my old webber but the wife hated waiting so we went with webber gas....i've been watchin some BBQ videos and it gets Loins/shoulders/turkeys done.....definently like the hinged rack for adding charcoal/chips plus that ash collector is a must my last one was a mess with just the tray

now i guess my question since i haven't bought charcoal in 10 years what works best (some come w/ hickory?)

one of chimmney coal starters looks and i've been told are great ta have

i'm brack ta just doin Pork Loins...those shoulders/boston butts really made for greasy meat when i did it

Thoughts :wacko:

I'm openin' myself up for a blastin' here , but for you Nuke, I'll do it.

The Weber Kettle, nothing better for charcoal.

 

Lump hardwood charcoal is best, stay away from briquettes if you can. A chimney starter is a must have, this way there is no petroleum taste in your food. I don't know why your butts/picnics are coming out greasy. Perhaps they aren't being let go long enough? The internal temperature of the meat will plateau at around 170 and you want to get up above this even if you're slicing it. If you're pulling it, then 195+ is where you need to be.

You need less coals then. I start with one chimney burning then 1 chimney poured on top. Then six pieces of charcoal or one stick of wood for every beer I drink.

Do you soak your wood chips?

 

My first thought is you are using too much damn charcoal.

 

soak the chips

1 chimey of coal

just don't smell that good hickory smell so i open the lid & coals are about gone after 2 hours.....so like an idiot i dump the alumn. bags of chips that haven't done chit right on the remainder of the coals and load a layer of new coals on top....smkokin like a mofo but smells like all carbon dioxide :wacko: ...let the air get to it so some flames get the coals burnin....spray everything with apple juice.....shut all vent down and now it smells like a normal BBQ....ya gotta be nuts ta do this chit sober :D

Summary

flavor was great and everyone was chowin hard on it.....i brought Big Kaiser buns so everyone just had 1 from what i could tell....it was pulled pork, if i did it again i'd invest in a bigass cutting board and chop it......got leftovers and i chopped that and am droppin it off to the warehouse guys (only 1 showed, they hate sales people)

 

Oh Ya...Ended up with 36 people....the old (over 40) beat the punkass sales schleps in volleyball 25-21 :wacko:
