Are you wrapping it after it gets to about 180 degrees? This helps with the stall. I usually wrap mine in foil however I saw where if you wrap it butcher paper it will stay more moistWalked into the local Fry's (which is Arizona Kroger) and they had them on sale for $2.47/lb on an end cap. Yeah you end up cutting off about two pounds of fat from the thirteen pound monster, but you still can't beat that (well until baby backs are on sale maybe). I just love that smoker. The meat is resting now, we cooked it for about 11.5 hours and it's probably going to rest an hour and a half). But it looks and smells terrific. As soon as the wife gets back...View attachment 141255

Was quite tasty. I think it went maybe one hour too long, but it seems pretty forgiving. We did have "burnt ends" because of that but I like those too. We will get at least two more meals out of it, which isn't bad for six people, thirty five bucks.
We have a June 15th reservation. Lol. That isn’t happening. I tried to move it to July or August but can’t find even 6 straight days in one resort even if I get a 2 bedroom or larger! So we r holding till next year cause even oct through December is solid booked up. I’m sad about it but oh well.Hey Jim DW and I are planning a trip to Disney in July, love the Minnie cup![]()

Crawfish boil yesterday afternoon for my daughters graduation party
Nice pinch the tails and suck the heads. Lived in Mississippi and learned how to eat these bugsCrawfish boil yesterday afternoon for my daughters graduation party
Yeah, you should see the foil in the picture. I think I was about an hour late on the first phase. It's still pretty darned good though, perfect for sandwiches the second day. The point portion is just about perfect as is, the flat is cooked a little bit more than I would have liked. Since my smoker is vertical, I had to cut it in half. I think that actually cuts down on the cooking time a bit too. But I like my beef rare, so for most people that recipe's time I used would have been spot on. The good news is that I now know I can start in the morning and not in the middle of the night and just plan a late dinner that night. So I won't have to start it at 3:30 AM like I did.Are you wrapping it after it gets to about 180 degrees? This helps with the stall.

We managed to squeeze in 3 boils so far this year even in this whacky world.
You open the sack to clean them?
