BBQ & Smoker Enthusiast Thread..

[LordDankinstien]

Great thread Tex!!! Thanks I just started smoking meats last year after watching bbq pitmaster. Ive probably only smoked 7 or 8 tri tips and all have been bomb!!! I finally got a smoker its a cheap H2o smoker but works great. The longest Ive smoked for is only about 7 to 8 hours, still a noob. There is a butcher nearby called "The Beef Palace" they have awesome cuts but I usally just go there for the house rub. I started off with a good rub down making sure I get it in all the cracks, then I spray with apple juice and put on the smoker I use apple wood chips, and thats it. From then on it is a constant battle keeping enough coals lit to keep it smoking. The last few times Ive had a few friends over who were stationed in Texas for a few years while in the army and they were super impressed with the flavor and tenderness saying it was just like the best Texas bbq they have tasted maybe even better. Tex you just inspired me to throw one on next weekend, I will deffinitly post pics

ps. when I do use bbq sauce its a blend of sweet baby rays orig mixed with a fuck load of honey and a splash of apple cider vineger. Taste like the bomb

lm doin 2 racks of baby backs in the smoker, and 2 rotisserie chickens on the grill for our cookout tomorrow. l'll post pics tomorrow for sure! We have this locally made sauce around here called pappys smokin sauce and it is perfect for the smoked meats.

And the rotisserie l just got for my grill was like 60 bucks and worth every damn penny if u eat chicken as much as we do!

Great thread tex

Thanks for the thread Tex. I can barely cook a ribeye on a gas grill and have never ventured into real BBQ/smoking, but now you've got me pretty interested. Guess I have another 30 yrs or so to work on it LOL

Haven't bought me a smoker yet but I did make some venison jerky right in the oven on 200 degrees for 3.5 hrs. marinated over night in soy sauce, worstshire sauce, tons of black pepper, garlic and salt, tobasco, and cayenne powder, I must say it turned out super dank!

This is my favorite website of for smoking meats. Has every bit of info you would need from what smokers are good to how to keep your fire going for hours. I particularly love the memphis dust dry rub reciepe that I use on my Babybacks. http://www.amazingribs.com/

Going to have to get down on some ribs tonight just bought 3 bags of lump coal and I have a good collection of apple wood and mesquite to do some smoking with. I also picked up a weed burner to get things going. Pics coming soon :)

grew up on oakland style ghetto bbq ... i have the pasion for que and have owned a few different rigs for catering but now my favorite pit is a backwoods party with heat diverter and controlled by a bbq guru damper control ... can smoke with dead solid temps for as long as needed ... did some backs yesterday and for 6 hours not even a 10 degree fluctuation....
with this rig i get about 6-8 hours from a load of lump depending on wind mostly ....

I fill the smoke box with lump and then into a small pyramid shape with the peak toward the lower damper i then use one weber wax marshmellow to fire the lump .. i find that if you fire any other way you over fire the coal and end up overshooting temps ..

thanks for your tips tex you got the knowledge ! i have always used full packer briskets untrimmed fat side up , im dying to now try it fat down .
although mine always ends up like butter im always down to improve ..

need no teef to eat this beef......

cheers

After Looking Thru The Whole Thread

I'm rather hungry for some BBQ, I live in the boonies and there aren't many good restaurants around. Mostly I'll cook big steaks on the grill, but after drooling over everyones meat(not gay) I think I need a smoker. After I get all my seeds paid for I'm grabbing me one, just kidding about the seeds, before I get the recent ones paid for I've been to THCBay and bought more. Looking forward to smoking a packer fat side down. Hope your feeling better Tex, thanks for this awesomeness
