Well, It's been about 6 weeks since I "got smart" and purchased my medium egg. I live in the Atlanta area and I'm going to upgrade to a large next week. I was afraid to tell my mom how much money I'd spent, so I showed her the video first, and let her eat some babybacks while watching. I'm very happy to say that she asked me to "pick her up a small egg" and bring it to her next weekend. I've alredy done just that, along with all of the eggsessories and am making her a batch of jj's rub to start her out. We'll be cooking up a storm in South Ga. next weekend!!!!

    Char-Woody, I am in the middle of my first rib roast (4 lb.) and it is smellin' up the neighborhood. Tonight I'm going to put on my first Boston Butt (6 lb). Any suggestions? I was thinking of using JJ's rub....with mustard first?
    Also what is the temp I should shoot for? I'm planning on 200-220 degree alnighter. I can't wait for tomorrow, or later tonight!! Boy is Mama in for some good food.She's a great cook... about to get better. Lisa

    NoleGirl, JJ's rubs and brisket and boston butt have been synonymous with those cooks. I would go heavy rub and let it premeate the meat as much as possible..add the mustard prior to the entry..The mustard won't affect the meat internally like a steak or chop as much. You will get a nice crust. Other option is to let the rubs create the crust on the butt. Or Brisket. Looks like about a 12 hour run on a 6 lb'er.. maybe a tad less.
    With your talents..you will succeed either way..BTW..[p]I have a secret weapon for my all night cooks..and that is a rod with a bend that I reach up and agitate the coals from underneath thru the grate bottom hole(s). (Old coat hanger will do) A 90 degee bend. Make it to fit your cooker. insert thru the bottom and slip the bent tip into the grate holes..kinda roll it a bit and dead ash will fall thru to the pit..This kinda assures a good air supply to the upper coals..Don't have to do too much wiggle wobble..!

    Dr. Chicken,
    My brother is chomping at the bit!! I sent him the video and he's fired up. My Mom and are are thinking about getting him a very nice birthday present.(April 24) He's always been great with a smoker and a grill!! This would knock his socks off!!
