    Been a while since I posted. Hers is my Christmas Eve smoked crown rack of pork.

    I picked up a pork rib tenderloin roast from Costco. (I seem to consistently have good luck with their meat and selection) First I dry brined it overnight with some kosher salt, black and red peppercorn and garlic. Then I trimmed, cut and tied it into a crown rack. I added some olive oil, a...

    Did a couple Pork Butts & baby backs this weekend.

    I used Big Poppas baby backs video as a reference for making these and they came out ridiculously awesome! My first set of ribs on the smoker. I didn't even need to sauce them up because the honey/margarine/brown sugar made such a sticky, sweet glaze and the rub had a nice smokey, spicy...

    First attempts at using a pellet smoker.

    I decided for my first time, to make a pork butt. Small, around 6lbs. I rubbed it with olive oil and gave it a healthy coating of JB's Fat Boy SweetRub. And left it in the fridge overnight. Smoked it at 220-230 for 9 hours. I was happy with my first attempt, but I have a LOT to learn...
