    Ok pulled tips off at 5 hrs in so far total. They have been wrapped with all the goodness for 2.5hrs. Sauced them up with some sweet 180 and back on the smoker for the last hour.

    Those look awesome. How'd they come? I may have to try that soon. I got my applewood/scorpion pepper dust the other day. Might test some out on some jerky. Should be making a batch this week. Pretty solid mix of great taste and dangerous heat.

    Have you had any other ways to do them that came out like that or was this about the best way you've done them so far?

    I haven't done anything last few days til this morning did some jerky. Just used bottle of teriyaki and few spoonfuls of minced garlic and marinaded for a day. Two hours with hickory chips and pretty solid as always. Held off on the heat cause the wife wanted to eat it too and she's not a fan.

    That method produces the best ribs I can get. 3-2-1 or 2.5,2.5,1. First step for either method is just a good rub, mop every 45 mins and some good wood. second step you add all the juices and really kicks things up. the last hour really seals the deal. Can't beat it. 6hrs and you have some bone licking ribs.

    Ok going to smoke some bear backstraps this weekend. I am using just one backstrap and cut it into thirds. I now have them doused in italian dressing and they will sit for about 12 hrs. I will then give them a good rub and get them on the grate. Hope this turns out good. First time smoking bear.

    Update: pulled the meat out of the marinade. Cut em open and stuffed with cream cheese and jalapenos then wrapped in bacon. Gave them a good rub of some crazy jays too.

    That looks amazing. I didn't get to experiment with my bear at all cause it was my first and I was scared to try anything but very simple. Hoping to get another and to try something like this

    I may have to try this one even with beef or something. It's got every ingredient for greatness

    The bear turned out awesome. A bit spicey but tons of flavor.

    Alright doing another all night pork butt smoke. This one is nearly nine pounds. First time I ever did this it turned out awesome so gotta do it again. I used plowboys yardbird rub and injected with a mixture of;
    3/4 cup apple juice
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 cup white sugar 1/4 cup table salt
    2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

    The injection and rub have been on the butt since yesterday so it gets a full 24hrs to let everything soak in nicely. Going to start the smoke all night at 215. Then up to 230 after about 12 hrs. I do not wrap them but I only do smoke for about the first 5 hours. After that it's just all heat. Going to be a good dinner tomorrow for me and many others.

    Baby back ribs
    Started out with a good rub.

    Smoked at 225 for 3 hrs bone facing down. I used hickory and apple wood. I sprayed every 45 mins with half and half of apple juice and apple cider.
    Pull after 3 hrs and get em ready to wrap.

    [​IMG]I did honey, brown sugar, tiger sauce, butter, and cherry doctor pepper. When you wrap them they will be bone facing up this time. Wrap nice and good and get em back on the smoker for another 2 hrs at the same temp.

    Pull after those 2 hrs and you can either sauce em of leave em dry and get them back on the smoker for the last hr. Should be ready to eat by this time.

    Looks tasty. Hoping to do something again soon. Possibly some ribs after reading and seeing.
    How'd the pork come? Hoping to do one again soon enough too. Had a bit of the flu run through the house so haven't been able to do anything interesting for a few extra days

    Use that injection I posted up give it a good rub and let sit overnight. Then smoke the butt for about 17 hrs until meat gets up to temp and it was awesome.

    I'll give it a shot on my next one for sure. Maybe in a week I'll get to Sams club again and grab one to try.
    Did some poppers, shrimp, and pineapple today. More of a grilling in the smoker. Think it was about 300 for half hour. Came great. Found a raspberry chipotle sauce that I mixed with some of the cream cheese for the poppers and comes very good or have drizzled it over in the past and been good too.

    Nothing too exciting but had to get something on it again

    Very true. I gotta say anything wrapped in bacon becomes awesome. The raspberry sauce mixed in is my favorite touch to it. Sweet raspberry with peppers and heat is one of my favorite combinations.
