Poppa J from Kirbyville Mo

Hi I'm Poppa J as known around here. I have been smoking meats and bbqing for many years. I had a small bbq team when we lived in Memphis Tn. I have a cpl trophy's for my efforts lol. I pride myself in smoking a whole pork shoulder. I have done alot of pork ribs over the years. I have a special seasoning I use on them that makes them a plastic fork tender rib. You grab the bone it slides out and the meat is succulent. I use a Mr smoker square smoker and a regular flat grill smoker. I have designed my own grill in the past that worked awesome out of a 55 gal barrel. Here in the last few years it has been so expensive to buy any big pieces of meat for smoking. I did beer butt a turkey for Christmas that turned out awesome. I use alot of hickory ships/chunks. I like apple, pecan, mesquite, cherry. It is hard to get anyone to give up many of the good trees for smoking. Thanks for the space to chat about something I enjoy. Nothing like firing the grill having a cold one or two and visiting with family and friends. Thanks Poppa J aka Jay
