Hello from Milwaukee!

I am going to attempt my first “real†BBQ this Sunday. In the past, I have done ribs and chicken on my gas and kettle grills with moderate success, but now feel its time to up my game. Plus I want to BBQ briskets and butts.

Last week I found a great deal on a Weber Smokey Mountain and started doing some research. I came across the Smoking Meat Forum and I have been lurking around ever since. Boy, have I learned a lot. Thank you all! This site is great! I have also started Jeffâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s 5-Day eCourse.

So hereâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s the plan… I wanted my first smoke to be a butt, but because of prior commitments Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m not going to have enough time this weekend. Instead Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m going to BBQ a few racks of baby backs on Sunday using the 2-2-1 method. I will be using lump charcoal with chunks of apple wood from a local orchard.

I canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t wait and will try to post a Q-view. After comes that hard decision for next week though. Brisket or butt?

And yours, Kirk Ferentz, is a UCONN alum. GO HUSKY'S!!! Obviously my moniker, CAHUSKY, is a reference to a UCONN Husky living in California. Although in reality, im now a NVHUSKY.

Welcome MB. Smoke a butt and a brisket. Pull or slice and see which is gone first. Then you'll know next time which to do. My moneys on the brisket.
