  • U_tarded said: man rubs are their own debate.  there are millions of threads on it on here.  people rage about dizzy pig, i like john henry texas pig rub on ribs personally (readily available here) or butt rub. For me - One part sweet HU…
  • So, just to recap: Cen-Tex Smoker is going to get mad at some ribs. U tarded is jacked up on Mountain Dew spiked with southern comfort.  The great debate about wrapping vs. not-wrapping still rages on. Cen-Tex will try a spritz of vinegar cider. U t…
  • The ribs were great - perhaps a little over done.  They were not mushy, but falling apart while I was cutting them up.  My butcher told me they were very tender and I should have cut the time back by about 45 minutes.  Still amazing and people wante…
  • Larrymac said: I "advocate" the "turbo Cooking" it's a whole lot easier and the finish time is more accurate.  All butts need to rest in a cooler for at least an hour, plus keep in mind they can remain "in" this cooler up to five hours, and r…
  • Ragtop99 said: Looks yummy.  A little more info on the prep, please.  Do you powderize the chocolate or does it go on as a coating?  How much chocolate did you use? 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cup Chocolate powder, 1 cup jalapeño powder.  I …

  • loveTheEgg said: I have the same success with Cowboy.....would anyone say that WG is better than Cowboy? have not tried it. I have had nothing but bad luck with Cowboy.  It has a lot of junk mixed in it, doesnt burn evenly and creates …
  • I have tried many commercial rubs and most are good.  I think it is cheaper and better to make my own.  Here it is: 1 cup of kosher salt1 cup of dark brown sugar*1 cup of sweet paprika (If you want more kick go with 1/2 cup of sweet & half cup o…
  • 10 lb butt took 13.5 hours at 250 degrees.
  • 2nd butt just went on 1 am.  Dome 250 and I set the meat at 195 with the DIGIQ.  See you in 7 hours.
  • JHazard said: Rock, did you have any trouble holding the temp? Did your charcoal last the whole time? When smoking that long do you light the fire in two spots? JHazard - No trouble holding the temp at all and the charcoal lasted the e…
  • Its more the cut of meat than the DigiQ.  A really good cut that is Choice or Prime will cook faster than select.  I use prime and my last cook on a 13lb brisket was 7.5 hours at 250 using the DigiQ.
  • Just did my first butt at 250 degrees and the internal temp was 195.  It smoked for 11 hours and 15 minutes.  It was fantastic.
  • Smokin_Trout said: You may want to leave it unitl 195*, it pulls easier. If it's done way early follow Henapple. I also put a brick in the egg to warm it up and place it in the cooler also. Merry Christmas!Read the last few replys on this thr…

  • 13 pounds 4 hours at 300 and done.  Looks amazing.  The "magic eye" popped out the same time the digiq dx reached 180.  Cant believe it is done so early.

  • 7 hours and 195 in the thickest part of the flat.  I read on another post that a really good piece of meat from a butcher shop may in fact cook faster because it is not as tough.  This piece came from a local butcher and is "prime" with very little …

  • I put a 13.5 pound brisket on at 11 pm expecting it to be done in 10-12 hours.  At 4 am, its up to 182 degrees.  My dome temp is 250 and the brisket - as of yet - has not gone into a stall. Is it possible that there will not be a "stall"?  Thoughts?

  • I am smoking 2 4 lb hanger steaks.  The butcher says it should take 4 -5 hours and he tells me that it will much better than a brisket.  The temp has been a steady 250 and they should be done in another hour.  Here is the before picture.
  • I bought my BGE on this past Monday May 21.  I used the BGE with the diffuser and pizza stone to make a pizza.  The gaskets burned.  Customer Service told me the BGE had to be used at low temps for the first few times then I could use it at a higher…
