First Smoke in the 3, What will yours be?

Will do DM! Good, bad, or indifferent I'll post my honest opinion of what I think about it. I have to say, I am shocked by how little wood you guys say to use for smoke. I put 5oz in for the butt and was worried that it was way too small of an amount. As it turns out, maybe 5oz is too much for a butt that small (again, blowing my mind!) so I hope it turns out properly smoked.
 
3rd smoke in the SI3 Steel Head for Easter. Looks good taste TBD....Update it was fantastic!

Easy smokin!

Matt

First pork butt on the SI3. The meat stalled at 153 and I had some time constraints so I foil wrapped it with a shot of apple cider. Temps rose steadily from there - pulled it at 200 IT, wrapped in a towel in the cooler for 90 minutes. After cutting the twine off the bone pulled right out. After pulling I poured what was left in the foil over the pork. Turned out better than I could have imagined - the family and guests loved it. Thanks for all the great advise from the forum members. Next - another pork butt in 10 days for my old running buddies who are coming down to crappie fish here on KY lake....

It was crazy good!
In general Steelhead stands out over Salmon with some intangible qualities that I favor.  The Smokin-It3 makes it super easy.  Large fish was what pushed me into the 3 and I have no regrets! The form 15x20+ rack factor is great! 

I do want to obtain some of the Western Red Alder to try in lieu of the Apple Wood on the next Steelhead run in the SI3.

By the way your pulled pork with the cider crutch smoked mine. That looks 27.44% more moist!  Mine was very good but that looks great!

Regards,

Matt
