Some grill/smoker help please

Foil is just not a good idea if you want an exceptional product.  The idea of smoking is to transform a very fatty piece of meat into a flavorful hunk of perfection.

Foil prevents full bark development.  Once you mastered barbecuing, the bark, will be sought after due to its intense flavor.

Foil also prevents full rendering of the fat which will give the meat a cold, greasy after taste  when reheated of from the freezer on the meat near the center that was not fully rendered due to the foil.

A lot of people get fooled by the foil shortcut.

My family is split evenly on bark enjoyment so a light bark is an acceptable compromise.

Dragon in good barbecue joints you have a choice of inside or outside or both. 

I am trying to put down foil barbecuing I have used it on ribs in a pinch but to offer a way to go to the next level kind of like going from a P39 to a P51D.  I do like that P39 I must say for something different. 

Good luck on your barbecuing, it will be good I am sure no matter which way.

I inject the Butt with Dr Pepper, Cover it with Mustard and add a Pork rub. Cook it low and slow. 10 to 12 hrs at 250. I use Hickory and spray it down with apple juice while its cooking, I like the spicy bite Hickory has. I didn't event this, I found it on you-tube. It is awesome!

GL, My neighbors crack up when they see me firing up the smoker at 4 in the morning. I do inject the pork twice, 12 hrs before smoking and again before it goes in the smoker.

I always go with a simple rub. Kosher salt, black and cayenne pepper, granulated garlic and onion and brown sugar. Light coat of sauce then apply the rub. Just throw it in the smoker and let it do its thing. No foiling, flipping or mopping. Just keep it simple.

Been smokin' for about 10 years. Can't go wrong with a Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker. How about some brisket?






Can't have brisket without burnt ends....

Im betting she still wont share and her family will just get to look on drooling. LMAO

I bought a large Big Green Egg (komodo style) ceramic smoker about three years ago and I've been eating deliciously ever since! What I've really come to enjoy is smoking and roasting vegetables and fruits.
