    Morning Coffee

    I'll proffer a coffee anecdote. Being a Baton Rouge native, coffee every morning is a given, I assumed, since I never met anyone that did not have coffee in the morning. And probably 75% of those morning coffee drinkers: 1) Will not do ANYTHING until we/they have coffee. Literally. 2) This...

    PBX Brisket and Ribs

    Wow! Legendary Pitmasters, Gurus, Hall of Famers, etc. commenting. Much obliged. Thanks folks. I joined this forum in early 2014. Though I have frequented other forums, and occasionally still do, Smoking Meat Forums is tops. The great people on this forum make this my #1 go-to place for all...

    PBX Brisket and Ribs

    Though I don't post frequently like I once did, I still love the site and peek at it semi-regularly. Like many of us afflicted with this BBQ and Smoked Meat disorder, I have more than one tool for smoking meat. A couple of months ago I acquired the 22-inch PBX (the large Pit Barrel Cooker). I'm...

    Want a smoker that uses wood logs not pellets

    Not sure of your budget, but Lone Star Grillz, I think, do custom builds. How custom? I have no idea. But worth a call. The greater Houston area is a Mecca for BBQ manufactuers.

    Finished product on smoker...What to look for.

    I have a pair of nice silicone or some space aged material gloves that work well. But after feeling up a butt, bird or brisky, I have to wash then like I am washing my hands. But I usually put a couple clove liners on and break out the disposable latex gloves. That is certainly a nice thing...

    Finished product on smoker...What to look for.

    Man, have you opened a Pandora's box. I will throw my cent and a half in for kicks. 1-get some of these Sometimes I double them if I think the food is real hot. Get some nice stretchable rubber gloves to go over them. You will have excellent tactile feel and not get burned handling your...

    Ugly Dang Bird Breast

    I get the 3 lb packages of thick cut. Whatever is on sale. I just take about half the strips and cut them crosswise about 1/3" thick. Then do the other half. Takes about 1 minute or two and then I put it all in a large restaurant style sautéed pan and 20 or so minutes later, bingo, bunch of...

    Ugly Dang Bird Breast

    Thanks folks. Twining wasn't an option. I pulled it out of the vac seal and it looked like a blob of something from another planet. And Chopsaw, I did slice some and put it on a BLT, which I guess you could say had them become a club sammich. I always keep a quart baggie of homemade bacon bits...

    Ugly Dang Bird Breast

    As mentioned previously, I haven't posted regularly of late, but my feeble brain remembered to snap a couple pics yesterday afternoon. I have a trade show in a few weeks, and have not had to travel for several weeks. I dread trying to squeeze into a suite and put a necktie on. So, in order to...

    Beef Clod

    Nice smoke. Beef anything is always my knee-jerk go to. Well......cause I love it. Just a word on briskets, since you mentioned it and FWIW: once upon a time I could get whole packer briskets (select, but occasionally a choice ended up in the bin) at $1.47/lb at my H-E-B stores here in the...

    Injection question.....

    BTW, Johnny Trigg uses this or some form of liquefied butter/margarine for his ribs. I have no idea what he does with injections.
