What to put in the smoker this weekend?

What a great thread this is! I just bought a Masterbuilt smoker & did a disappointing brisket Saturday. I'm really getting an education reading this. My wife says I have to try again this weekend. We'll see what the weather is like & go from there.

Try a pork butt (shoulder)..... Very tasty, and very hard to screw up.

For info on how to smoke pretty much anything, head over to http://amazingribs.com/. Their info has never steered me wrong. I don't follow their instructions exactly, but they until you get more practice, it's a great place to start and learn.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.

Brisket can be a real finicky bitch. Really no such thing as cooking it for x number of hours at whatever temp. Brisket is done when it is done. Test by sticking a bbq skewer in it and test by the feel. Resistance means it's not done. I struggle with Brisket and don't do it often because of that. Every brisket I have done has taken a different time to finish.

2 racks of baby backs .... red cutting board kind of washes out the color of the ribs themselves but the meat is falling off the bone ...
