Seafood night again... Crabs, shrimp, crawfish, oysters and clams....

Got the smoker fired up at 0400 this morning. Putting on a brisket, which has been sitting for 2 days all rubbed up and ready. Injected right before I put it on. Around noon I will start the ribs. I got back ribs and some St. Louis-cut ribs. I make three kinds of sauce: One is a cola sauce, which is everyone's favorite. The other two are Kansas City style, and Texas Style. I make big batches and can them in quart mason jars.



BBQ is my other passion besides metal-detecting, fishing, hunting, drinking, and fornicating.

Looks so good! We got in from detecting fairly late so we stopped by Jacks Barbecue,the absolute best and picked up a lb. of charred,smoky pulled pork,some vinegar based slaw and I had some leftover pinto beans and cornbread we put to good use. Halloween candy is for dessert, poor kids,lol!

No teasing aloud unless you plan on taking some overnight shipment orders

I'd love to host a "Tnet New England" BBQ sometime. Trouble is, this smoker is a pita to keep running for the hours it takes to do a brisket. With this smoker you cant really go more than 1 hour before checking the temp and adding wood or adjusting the damper or intake. Every half hour would be even better for a nice smooth consistent heat. It usually takes 1.5 hours per pound, so if you have a 7-8 pound brisket, well thats a ton of work. Lets not even get into ribs or chicken.

So I think next year I will build a better smoker. This one will be gas-fired and I will fit it with a PID-controlled thermostat that will maintain a consistent temp and I can leave it. Maybe then we can get together and dream up some event.

Do you soak your wood in water over night before putting it in the smoker?I worked in a BBQ joint years ago and thats how we smoked our stuff.Brisket,ribs,pork shoulders.good stuff.

Typically, I do not use wet wood because it does not burn as hot and gives off copious amounts of smoke. In this smoker I made, I have to keep the fire up because its a reverse-flow design, and it loses heat quite well. This is a good thing, because instead of a fire jacking the smoker up to 500+ degrees F, it will max out at around 300 and from there its easy to keep it between 200 and 250 by adjusting the damper, amount of wood, and the air intake on the firebox.

Long answer for a short question, but its like one of those questions like, THing. Everyone does what works for them. The proof is when people rave about your bbq or you find yourself standing over a hole in the ground, scrutinizing the gold coin in your hand. The path is yours, and no matter how you get there, the end result is the prize.

When you are smoking meats, only the first couple hours of smoking is effective, and the rest of the time is used just for finishing the cooking process. I like to use very aged/seasoned red oak and maple, and I will occasionally throw some green alder on top of the coals for an extra spicy smoke taste. I'm never lucky enough to get any apple wood, but my uncle in Brattleboro has 30 apple trees that he doesnt keep groomed. I'm thinking a trip is in order.

Dang, I'm long-winded this morning! Sorry 'bout that!

We have an electric smoker Red and it has a well on the bottom for putting liquid in the bottom as well as wet wood wrapped in foil. My husband makes the best ribs. He flavors the water with a head of garlic,some lemons,a couple of brews,and only coats them with special sauce about 30 minutes before taking them off the smoker.

Im getting to the age where I can't remember what I had for supper last night, or the night before, or the night before. But I can tell you that it always looks about the same in the morning, right after my first cup of coffee! So, I guess it doesn't really matter what it started out as.

 

[trikikiwi]

As I too can claim an alimentary canal, I beg to differ. It does matter, what it started out as.

Tonight I'm preparing, Beef Noodle Soup.
