The BBQ Thread

That's like telling me the best way to cook ribs is boiling them in water.

 

Exactly. Save marinades for crappy cuts. Leave the good stuff for salt and pepper.

 

You forgot butter.

 

Good call.

 

Yes. Although the occasional coffee rub also works for me.

 

Sure thing. Glad you enjoyed.

 

I just vurped a little.

 

Boiling them in water has nothing on tossing them in the microwave.

 

I don't make a big habit out of it but it is nice for a change. My personal favorite is a simple Montreal rub.

As soon as my smoker heats up, I'm putting on 14 lbs of pork. I'm in this for at least 12 hours, so I'm starting now.

Sleep is still TBD.

 

Get a wireless thermometer. It will sound an alarm once it reaches the correct internal temp.

 

My wife and daughter are out of town this weekend so I got a 3# chuck roast for the smoker... Turned out really good but it sure seemed to cook quickly... About 45 minutes/pound. For the last hour I had everything closed up and it still was done in under three hours. I guess the result is what matters though and it was (and will be later today) delicious!!

 

Got a thermometer in there right now.

 

Got two pork butts on right now

 

Too cold to smoke here. About 11 degrees plus a wind.

 

It's boarderline here. 35 degrees.

 

You are addicted.

 

73, windy though

 

Have been for years, since we first stumbled on smoking at tailgates. We'd probably make pitmasters cringe with the dumb shit we'd do before our meat was done. Eventually we read up on it and honed in on what we were doing. After our tailgate broke up I always wanted an electric or propane rig because I don't get into dedicating a whole day to smoking on "normal" setup. I'm in it to eat, not for the process. I just never got around to buying it until the wife got me one. Just making up for lost time now.
