Okay, but what's his excuse?  You have to get your priorities in order and I do believe a thread about cooking delicious meats should damn well be at the top of the list.  Are we not men?

Add brown lick-her to the discussion and you'll probably have him hooked.

Yeah! Well, I mean....the rest of us are.

On the Primo you should be able to just set it and forget it.  Get that thing up to around 175-200 and just let it cook for about 6-8 hours.

For the cost of a Primo, you should also be able to just lie in your hammock while it brings you an umbrella drink and makes you a snack while you wait until it completes your food order. Unassisted.

Exactly.......

The Primo comes with smoke plates that you can order that will deflect the heat from the rack and you can dial it in to about 250. 

I inject.  I use 3 parts Apple Juice to one part Burrbinz, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, a splash or three of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup of Wicks and 2 tblspn of Worchester .  I mix it all together in a pot, bring to a simmer so the sugar will dissolve and then I put it in a jar and let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours before injecting so everything can meld.

I usually take what is leftover after injecting and boil it so I have a sop mop to use while cooking.

Gonna try that.  I have done Peach before but not dark rum.  Speaking of, do you know what goes good with rum?

Can you say that again but slower this time?

But hold on and let me go get a couple of paper towels.

And for that reason...I'm out.

I ain't about to eat nothing you perverts have "injected"!

Key fact.  I did not buy a Primo.  It was given to me. I'm just trying to make worth the money my neighbor spent 👅

nekkid women? ...no that is Tequila

or before smoking a Turkey

What are you cooking it on?  I have almost zero experience with the smoking of the meats.  I've done quite a few butts, briskets etc. low and slow, indirect heat on The Egg.  But, I don't have a true smoker.  I'll usually do the overnight brine, but I'm liking what Buzzy does.  Inject with apple juice, rub it, soak it and wrap it.  Never used apple juice before on something like that.  Daddy like!

Speaking of The Egg, they've got a cook book that gives a real unique combination of spices for the rub on beer butt chickens.  But you spray them constantly while cooking with a mixture of apple cider, Balsamic vinegar and beer. 

I'm getting hungry.

BTW you haven't smoke on the egg, wtf are you doing?

I've had my BGE for less than a month and I have already smoked on it twice.   It smokes 100x better and easier than my actual smoker, which is why it is going buh-bye.

You are doing it wrong...again.

His saying : "I've done quite a few butts" is the understatement of the year.

Cut him a break. He's been spending lots of time at his 3rd mansion at rosemary beach this year. It's not easy to haul the egg down there all by himself. And his hired help had left for the day.

Wrong....again.  Dude, I've had the BGE for years.  I don't call cooking low and slow, "Smoking".  I'll add wood chips but I still don't consider that true meat smoking.  We did a brisket for 12 hours last weekend.  Even a gay man would have said it was the best meat he'd ever put in his mouth. 

[Godfather]

Seriously WTF.  You do know this is the #1 principle of smoking. 

I don't add smoke chips, you can put a whole log (did I say log, not in the way that you thnk I did) in the bottom and that thing will smoke for hours.

GF, your words are hurtful.  I thought you were talking about smoking cigars while cooking on the Egg.  I will not be at the pancake social tonight.
