Let's Smoke Some Meat!

[MrDenton]

I hope to have a smoker soon. Looks so damn good you guys are killing me lol

Smoking meat is pretty simple. I've learned that no matter how it turns out, it's still better than anything you'll buy off the shelf.
I read up on so many websites that it got real intimidating, confusing and expensive. Then I just bought a shoulder and went for it. For my taste, I don't care for a lot of salt in my rubs. The right wood and a good long and low smoke will give the meat a flavor you can't buy in a shaker.
Anyone that comes over and asks for BBQ sauce is told "try it on its own first". BBQ sauce just covers up a bad smoke as far as I'm concerned.
HotBoat, go buy a smoker, not a pellet smoker, a real lump coal smoker, throw a Boston butt or a picnic cut in there for 4.5hrs at 235*. Put it in a aluminum tray and cover it. Smoke it until the internal temp reaches no less than 195*, I like 200-205. My smokes take a 12-15lbs shoulder 10-13hrs.
From there, taste it and make adjustments to your liking
