Planning
The first step in doing a Cook.I know,I sound like a know-it-all,but I do.LMAO
Actually, my first thought on a cook is how much time will I need? I figure @ 1.5hrs. per pound of meat,with as few lookys as possible. When you're looking , you're not cooking.Besides you extend the coking time with each peek. If you don't trust yourself, get a probe thermo.
If you intend to do a big piece of meat,be prepared to spend the time it needs to get done right. You spend good money for the priviledge of making a good meal,make it worthwhile.
Have fun and,
SMOKE HAPPY,
