Preserving Gilled Chicken
Brining is a good way to go for added moisture and moisture preservation. I always vac seal them either individually or two in a bag. Even if I don’t freeze them and they are going to be eaten within a couple of days. I have even sealed several in one bag, leaving enough room at the top of the...- tbrtt1

Late Father’s Day Post-Butt Time
Thanks for all the kind comments. We ate almost all of by Monday night. I only have a relatively small vac sealed bag that made it into the freezer, which will likely get pulled in the next day or two. -
Late Father’s Day Post-Butt Time
I’m late posting this, BUTT here tis. Did an overnight smoke on a medium sized butt for dad’s day. Started at about 10:30pm Saturday. Augmented the pooper with a tube, which caught fire at about 1:00am causing the chamber temp to rise. As always, my trusty dual probe Maverick awakened me. The... -
OVERNIGHT COOKS
I always have (or have had) 1 or two hands off smokers, simply for overnight smokes. I just did a butt last night for consumption today. I’ll post later. I only use a tried and true dual probe Maverick. Yes, there are many fancy Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell phone, etc. contraptions on the market...- tbrtt1

My first try at a crawfish boil!
From a native of Baton Rouge: Salute! Nice stuff. Good work. Well done. 👍 I posted some years ago why Louisiana wasn’t really known for BBQ, despite many capable Pitmaster denizens from the Pelican State. The main reason was crawfish. Only a very few delicacies can match or exceed great BBQ...- tbrtt1

Smoker went out during overnight brisket cook - HELP (in-laws in town 🤣 )
Being both lazy on the weekends and riddled with ADD or ADHD or whatever the hell they call it now, I use a chamber monitor for most cooks, day or night, asleep or awake. My chamber alarm once alerted me during an LSU football game. Good thing because when I watch dem Tigahs, the apocalypse...- tbrtt1

Smoker went out during overnight brisket cook - HELP (in-laws in town 🤣 )
I agree you’re good. I use my trusty ole Maverick and use one probe for temp monitor with upper and lower limits set for just that reason. I do almost all my big meat smoking overnight.- tbrtt1

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...- tbrtt1

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.- tbrtt1

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...- tbrtt1

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...- tbrtt1

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... -
