One of my favorite threads on the old site was this thread.  

Anyone here in to low and slow BBQ?

I just have a Weber Kettle that I setup for offset cooking to smoke. I've got an 8lb pork shoulder to smoke for tomorrow night. Couldn't pass it up at $.49 / lb.

for those that have branded blankets for their smokers, any reason a welding blanket can't be used?

I've thought about getting one but never got around to it. We did have a discussion here a while back and a welding blanket was the popular choice as apposed to a custom fit unit.

Ribs on the smoker in the driveway today.

 

12 pounder from the new butcher shop I’ve been buying from. It was trimmed down pretty lean which was nice but that’s $100 slab right there.

Everything was coming along good then I looked at the smoker and the driveway was filled with smoke.

Anyone had there wrap paper catch fire? 

Fuck Cuomo, fuck Biden, fuck politics all together, 63* in the fingerlakes region of NY burgers on the barbie 

Got home from work yesterday and the wife had a couple pork tenderloins with asparagus and taters on the smoker / grill.

First fire  up for 2021 and the pork was GREAT!    Been awhile since I got that "campfire flavor".   Reminds me, got to order some more UTZ.  

I just brushed some UTZ Honey Q on the boneless country style ribs that I rubbed with UTZ works. A tiny bit of heat and a little sweet to offset it.

ordered the sample pack of large rubs to try along with the sauces.  fsce10 discount expired

Pretty sure it was me that originally set it up to expire at the end of 2020 anyway. Mike can let me know if he wants me to cut you guys off 

Wife found full packer briskets for $2.99/lb. That's cheap for up here....we'll see how good they are some time tomorrow. 

Sitting at 182f now....it's definitely taking its time

Anyone here smoke when it is about 55°F out?  Thinking about firing up my new GMG and doing some wings on it today.

I've smoked at much colder tamps than that. You'll be fine

I've smoked in freezing temps.  Just gotta be a lot more vigilant on heat control.  FEED IT!  It's kind of a forced smoke operation so, it going to "cook" the meat faster.  Still good....just not "smoked for 12 hours" good.

as low as -10 winter smoking isn't for the weak of heart

Does flat or point apply to all briskets, or only corned beef?

All brisket

Most that smoke prefer to do the whole brisket

There's a 50/50 shot that it may not come to market....at least not with the spice company I am bottling with currently.  I have about a month and a half to get everything worked out.

Yup.  Was worth no discount since the mustard did not break this time.  Have not had a chance to use the rubs yet but they smell awesome and are good on the "finger taste" test.
