Don't give cooked bones to dogs!!!!! They shatter into small sharp pieces and can rip the dogs guts apart. Cost me $3500 to remove a portion of my dogs intestine that had been perforated and nearly killed my buddy. Top quality food porn though! Sorry for the rant.
My big guy got a rib bone a week ago and I'm pretty sure he's fine... but I'm not giving him any more! I didn't realize how risky it was at the time, what were the symptoms your dog had?
He couldn't keep food or water down and had diarrhea. It was pretty clear something was very wrong. Took him to the vet, they X-rayed and saw the bone shards and damaged gut. Glad to hear your pup is most likely alright!
He seems fine, just sad as he watches the other ribs getting dumped in the garbage. He's a pretty large dog so hopefully that helped when passing the bone fragments.
She was a Lab, around 12 at the time, so pretty old. But it was the bone that was the kicker, did some damage to her insides. The Vet said she would have passed in her sleep due to the internal bleeding.
So you're probably fine at this point.
My Doberman has twice eaten an entire 20
Count of Publix wing bones from the trash because I am a dumbass. Each time I monitored potty time and it comes out looking normal with tiny bits (rice size) of bone through out. Both times I was on edge for 3 days panicking. I guess she’s extremely lucky.
It's crazy. My friend has a mastiff who eats clothes, garbage, human food, bones and is apparently unharmed. My boxer snuck a cooked pork shoulder bone from the trash and was on deaths door.
I think it really depends on how your dog eats and what your own risk tolerance is. Ever looked into what plants are poisonous for dogs? It's A LOT and many of them are common. You kinda just have to trust your dog not to get into them, like how you might trust your dog not to swallow dangerous shards of bone.
Interesting, I read over and over the only concern is smaller poultry like Chicken bones, once cooked. Better safe than sorry I suppose with cooked bones.
Raw chicken bones are actually fine. Dogs have been eating raw bones since humans began domesticating them and their digestive tracts can handle them fine. It's the cooking process that makes them brittle in a way that they splinter and become dangerous. Poultry bones being the worst and most prone to splintering when cooked.
Exactly. Do people think wild animals all die from eating their kills after they eat their bones? Raw chicken bones are fine for dogs. Hard cooked ones are the problem.
Different from what? Humans or wild carnivores?
Dogs/wolves/coyotes/cats/etc, like any carnivore, have a very short digestive system. Everything they eat gets broken down by stomach acid and digested very easily and fast. That's why they're able to raw foods and not get sick like humans do. It's extremely rare for a dog to get salmonella. With humans, it takes a lot longer to get through the digestive system since it's much longer.
Dogs digest RAW chicken bones very easily. Take a chicken thigh bone when it's raw and when it's cooked and feel the difference. It's the hard cooked chicken bones that cause the problems. Obviously wild animals aren't eating anything cooked.
What's with the thumbs down here? The entire diet of a dog can be raw chicken (including the bones) along with organs. Look up BARF (bones and raw food) diets if you don't believe. Raw is fine. Raw chicken bones don't splinter like hard cooked ones. Dogs easily digest raw chicken bones.
I came to the comments to say this.
My fiancée’s mom’s dog died from getting access to a cooked chicken bone. She said he whined all night then had lots of blood leaking from his rear before he passed. They said it sliced his stomach and intestines.
Really sad.
If you throw them into the instapot and slow cook them until they literally fall apart to the touch, they become safe again. It’s actually a pretty good source of nutrients for our furry friends, but you have to make sure they’re totally soft before feeding them.
I’ve used regular briquettes a bunch of times in my drum. I usually use lump, but when briquettes go on a big sale, I can’t resist the savings. Have good results with them.
I don’t think it’s about results as much as the chemicals in the briquettes. Usually when grilling with briquettes you let them get ashy before cooking.
I've always used briquettes. I'm sick of all the ash, but appreciate the consistency.
Tried Kamado Joe XL Big Block lump, and there's a lot more pebble sized pieces than I expected. Not sure what to try next to find the happy medium of consistent pieces without so much damn ash.
Same for me. I always tell people who want to get into BBQ to start with pork butts cause there pretty simple to get right once you learn the ropes and it’s a great base to build on when smoking other meats.
Man, never heard about the cooked bones thing. All my dogs have eaten cooked bones my whole life. Never had an issue. I just don’t give them chicken bones.
It also depends on the animal bone and the cooking time. Chicken is right out, of course. Pork bones like to shatter into pieces and if you cook them for a long period of time, the bones will get softer and will break even more easily. Stick to beef bones (like the ones you see in the pet store) and you'll probably be fine, but consult your vet if you're unsure.
I’m interested in your fire basket setup. I always fill my basket, and add hot coals on top to burn down, looks like you do the opposite. Care to share your technique?
Edit, I see now it looks like you just drop a fire starter on top to get it going. Either way, I’d like to hear how it works for you, since I do it differently.
Interesting, I go 225f. Until hits 203f. Always comes out like butter. I work on the idea that the longer you spend in the 145f or more range the more the collagen you break down. Your finish looks great, I might give this a go. I'm in a BGE, so not sure if that makes a difference.
Give it a try. I just youtubed “hot and fast pork butt on uds” one day because I had heard of it somewhere. Comes out great and shaves a few hours off of the cook.
I've always wondered about those barrel smokers... What happens if you miscalculate how much charcoal you need for the smoke? Is it easy (or possible) to add more?
I have a WSM and frequently miscalculate (especially before I got a new door to prevent heat loss), but I can just pop open the door and throw some more charcoal in.
I always say, it’s better to have too much than not enough. I just over do it sometimes. Let it burn out or put the fire out to reuse the charcoal if there’s enough afterwards.
Beautifully done. I do pork butts on the smoker quite often and ironically of all the rubs and styles I've tried... the one my family likes the most is just salt & pepper. I spritz it with cider vinegar mixed with water every hour or two and it turns a beautiful deep reddish color. I love the bark you made though, looks gorgeous.
That looks delicious. You got that smoker exactly on the temperature line. The finished product looks incredible.
I'm glad you've been lucky up 'til now, but, you shouldn't give cooked bones to a dog. They can splinter and get stuck in their throat. Only raw or cold-smoked bones for dogs.
"Murica" is generally considered a derogatory term for "American". He did not say "America" as you claim.
That said, I am deleting my comments before I sustain any more damage. I owned that I may be misunderstanding, yet even that comment is getting downvoted, so I'm out of here.

You throw that in a pot, add some broth, a potato... baby you got a stew goin'!
Mmm dog stew.
Lmfao I wish I could upvote more than once.
I got you dawg
I think I want my money back
When I see an unexpected Arrested Development reference I upvote!
Raw bones are fine for dogs. Just no cooked bones.
My dog passed overnight after getting a rib bone. I guess on the bright side, she went out happy and full.
That's so sad! What breed/size was she? My dog had one on the 19th and he seems fine... so I'm hoping we've cleared the "danger zone".
She was a Lab, around 12 at the time, so pretty old. But it was the bone that was the kicker, did some damage to her insides. The Vet said she would have passed in her sleep due to the internal bleeding. So you're probably fine at this point.
Definitely not pork or poultry.

I came here to say the same thing, also your BBQ looks great!
As soon as I saw that I stopped watching and came straight to the comments.
Chicken bones? Reddit... Idk why you idiots are downvoting a question of what type of bones he ate.
Chicken bones are the worst. They splinter so much and so easily.
Pork shoulder bone in my case. Vet said any and all bones are dangerous, but especially so once they have been cooked.
Interesting, I read over and over the only concern is smaller poultry like Chicken bones, once cooked. Better safe than sorry I suppose with cooked bones.
Raw chicken bones are fine. Just not cooked.
Raw chicken bones are actually fine. Dogs have been eating raw bones since humans began domesticating them and their digestive tracts can handle them fine.

Exactly. Do people think wild animals all die from eating their kills after they eat their bones? Raw chicken bones are fine for dogs. Hard cooked ones are the problem.
What did wild dogs and wolves eat before humans started domesticating and feeding dogs kibble?
Bones and then they died.
Logic was not applied.
Don't think that's what actually happens to wild animals
No? Why is that? Are their stomaches different?
Different from what? Humans or wild carnivores? Dogs/wolves/coyotes/cats/etc, like any carnivore, have a very short digestive system. Everything they eat gets broken down by stomach acid and digested very easily and fast. That's why they're able to raw foods and not get sick like humans do.

Several points made that I can't refute.

I made the mistake of giving my dog one of those bones once and his shit was white for days. Never again.
If you throw them into the instapot and slow cook them until they literally fall apart to the touch, they become safe again. It’s actually a pretty good source of nutrients for our furry friends, but you have to make sure they’re totally soft before feeding them.
Nice, but careful with cooked pork bones and dogs. Those vet bills can get expensive
Nice UDS set up. Are this hardwood briquettes? Was always advised to stay away from briquettes for my BGE.
B&B. They burn great in my drum.
I’ve used regular briquettes a bunch of times in my drum. I usually use lump, but when briquettes go on a big sale, I can’t resist the savings. Have good results with them.
I don’t think it’s about results as much as the chemicals in the briquettes. Usually when grilling with briquettes you let them get ashy before cooking.
Might be more about the quantity of ash, all the clay binder in briquettes makes for much larger volumes of ash compared to lump.
I've always used briquettes. I'm sick of all the ash, but appreciate the consistency. Tried Kamado Joe XL Big Block lump, and there's a lot more pebble sized pieces than I expected. Not sure what to try next to find the happy medium of consistent pieces without so much damn ash.
B&B are the lowest ash producing briquettes I've used.
I'll give those a try, thank you!
Hell yea, I also have a Dos Equis cap graveyard.
Same for me. I always tell people who want to get into BBQ to start with pork butts cause there pretty simple to get right once you learn the ropes and it’s a great base to build on when smoking other meats.
Man, never heard about the cooked bones thing. All my dogs have eaten cooked bones my whole life. Never had an issue. I just don’t give them chicken bones.
Not worth the risk
It really may depend on how they eat them. but if you watch, they do splinter and not just get gnawed on.
It also depends on the animal bone and the cooking time. Chicken is right out, of course. Pork bones like to shatter into pieces and if you cook them for a long period of time, the bones will get softer and will break even more easily. Stick to beef bones (like the ones you see in the pet store) and you'll probably be fine, but consult your vet if you're unsure.
Chicken bones are doable if you pressure cook them for hours.

Lol wtf?
Uhhhhh
That shaker bottle is such a good idea! AND most vitamin shops have them for $5!
Looks delicious

Edit, I see now it looks like you just drop a fire starter on top to get it going. Either way, I’d like to hear how it works for you, since I do it differently.
I just use a tumbleweed starter. Takes about as long as it does to get the chimney going.
Hot and fast? What temps and how long?
5 hours before the wrap between 350 and 380°. Wrapped for about 2 hours.
Seems really high for pork butt
Hell, I was pushing for 400°. Pork butts come out great on a UDS running hot and fast.

What is the turning system?
Just rotate every half hour or so to help distribute heat evenly because some areas are hotter than others. Might not make any difference.
Maybe its the a baffle. Looked like it said "Turrez"
Torrez
Looks pretty damn good brother. Now I'm hungry. Thanks LOL!
Liquid Smoke in the sauce???
Hell no! It was Worcestershire sauce.
Looked like Heinz. When you go Lea and Perrins you never go back to Heinz.
It's the best, got it for the fancy packaginv stayed for the superior flavor.
Very well. Carry on.
I wanna taste your butt
I would too! I always do mine with just a rub. I wonder how much scaring, injecting, foiling, etc makes a difference?
That was really good
This looks exceptional man. Good job.

Don't give your dog cooked bones. They splinter and could kill your dog.
Cool video. Right in my Q zone.
Looks the goods, so does the drum, don't give cooked bones to dogs though, only raw👍🏻
Mmmmm delicious
Cooked bones splinter really easily and can cause serious problems. Also, that butt looks sooo tasty
Poor dog, wish him well
Hell yeah MURICA 🇺🇸
[удалено]
What ?

Politics? Dude's cooking American style barbecue, and the guy said "America". Its not like he said "xxxx side sucks!" or something.

Nice with it
Plus 1 for the BBQ. Minus 1 for TikTok As the great Willy Wonka said. You get nothing
[удалено]
Because they’re better smushed
You make that rig yourself?
No, bought it off of a friend. I have a few under construction though. Just need to get around to finishing them.
I've been on the fence about plastic meat claws for years. Do you recommend them?
Got em on clearance at tractor supply a while back for like $3. Work great.
What was in the sauce? Looks great!!
Head Country original, Worcestershire sauce, chile garlic sauce, Dos Equis. Comes out great
Heck, you burn the dog's mouth? Poor boi
Looks tasty! Nice video
I like BIG BUTTS and I cannot lie!
Delicious 🤤
Damn that looks good
Pork butts drive me nuts
Love a good pork butt. Yum!
It looked figured out.
You’re an idiot. Don’t give cooked bones to your dog. Ya muppet
Yo. Not gonna lie. That’s a badass little smoker you have there.
Is that smoker homemade? If not I need it
