This is the cooking board, mr. 33

I did two cooks in November-
first one was full brisket, burnt ends, back ribs, chicken. cooked with Ozark Oak lump coal, hickory chunks, apple and cherry shavings.

second one was thanksgiving turkey- i did the nakedwhiz method (google it) and went 325 degrees w/ apple wood for 5 hours, 15 lb turkey.

that's about all i got right now. the temps being cold out make the cooking times really go up but i'm wanting to do a pork shoulder so i can make chili with the pulled pork. i'm worried it take 20 hours though in these temps.

ever make chili with your brisket? It's amazing.

pissclams · « **Reply #5 on:** December 16, 2010, 11:12:06 AM »

ya love it, the pulled pork chili is better though

Cire · « **Reply #6 on:** December 16, 2010, 11:41:12 AM »

Will try, never really had pork chili but I always have left over pulled pork so will try and report back.

Would love a good chili recipe.

Cire · « **Reply #8 on:** December 16, 2010, 02:05:52 PM »

I keep it as simple as posslible.

1.5 lbs of meat.
quarter cup of chili chowder
table spoon of chipotle chili chowder (MUST HAVE)
teaspoon of cayenne.
quarter cup of cumin
Half a tablespoon or so of garlic salt.
1 large onion
can of corn drained
large can of whole tomatoes with juice
2 cloves of garlic

start with maybe 3 strips of smoked bacon in the dutch oven/stock pot.
Throw onion in to cook after the bacon renders
Throw garlic in
tomatoes
corn
spices
meat

.

slimz posted a recipe a while back but I don't remember the thread.

I also just heard about a guy throwing his dutch oven on his smoker uncovered to take in smoke. never tried that.

If it's going to cook for a long time you could throw in a couple cups of a dark ale but I don't like it too too runny.

I also use kidney beans.

Holy crap I am goiung to make pulled pork chilli when I go home for break.

And 'lams, you really think it would take 20 hours to cook a pork shoulder? That's silly

Also, I did my thxgiving turkey also. 200-250 degrees for about 6 hours. Hickory chips and some poulty rub with plenty of olige oil. Covered the turkey in foil about half way through. Also tried to collect some grease for giblet gravy but I failed

my 10 pound shoulders go 14-15 hours @ 250 in the summer time when it's 100 outside, so i'm assuming it will be 3-5 hours longer when it's 10 out at night, maybe not? there will be some incremental time because of the ambient temp but i'm not sure how much.

with turkey, i'm telling you- try the nakedwhiz method...it's beyond good.

Cire · « **Reply #13 on:** December 17, 2010, 07:05:59 AM »

also if you are worried about temps and time just smoke it for 3-5 hours and throw it in the oven to finish.

Make a wrap-around blanket of Reflectix insulation and the only trouble you'll have is keeping the temps down, and your chunk/coal usage will be greatly reduced as well. I did it with my UDS last winter and it ran hotter than during 100 degree weather.

Alright, did an 8 pound butt today. I've got way too much and have given some away but I want to make chili tomorrow with it. Clams, do you make it just like you'd make beef chili?

I've had it in a "white" chili, and it was amazing. Basically, just use Great Northern beans, add in some of your favorite spices that typically go in chili and there you go.

I don't know how to make white chili without a store bought packet.
