Gotta hemi in ‘eir?
Just a quick post to signal that I am alive and still smoking. I pop my head up every now and again with a comment or two. But I scored a half of a brisket. Or approximately so. It was a nice point with a bit of a flat. I have lamented, and on this site more than once, about the price of beef... -
A New Orleans Icon - Homemade Version
Growing up in South Louisiana, Baton Rouge and NOLA, among the foods I crave the most since I moved to TX over 20 years ago, is a good Po-Boy. It is one of the first things I eat when I get back to The Big Easy. The foundation of an authentic NOLA Poboy is without question the New Orleans...- tbrtt1

Belated Independence Day Post-Partial Brisket Alert
Well, I just ranted a bit on another thread about beef prices in Texas, which is literally a crying shame. But the Independence Day of our country deserves a little splurging, IMHO. I took off yesterday (Friday) and was doing honey-dos, etc., and never got around to throwing this up, errr... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
The Prodigal Son Returns (actually, he never really left)
Well, at one time, long , long, ago in an enchanted forest lived a…………we’ll never mind. I was a frequent visitor and poster, and somewhat active member of this website sometime ago. That said, I haven’t forgotten this site, nor have I completely abandoned it. I still look at it to check a few...- tbrtt1

Making a comeback LOL!
It is hard to believe that it has been ~3 years since I posted anything on this forum. I suffer from multiple hobby syndrome and this job stuff gets in the way. I can only juggle a couple hobbies at once. While I have certainly not abandoned Smoking Meat and eating it, I haven't had many...- tbrtt1

Now that’s an ugly butt
Like a goofball I accidentally got a butt that had the bone removed and it just looks funny. I’ve done boneless before I just don’t remember them looking quite this odd. Well, she’s gonna get started in a few. Pulled pork tomorrow! -
Dusted off the stick burner for a run today
I hadn't used the stick burner in quite a while and I think it was getting jealous. She is just a cheapo Old Country Pecos, but as long as it is not too cold I can get good Q out of it. Aside from some wood issues in the beginning, it went pretty well. Seems I get some wood that is still a bit...- tbrtt1

It was good to flex the muscles again
As I mentioned in a post on Monday (my fist since in many, many months) a friend of mine's birthday is on Jan 1. His wife asked me to smoke ribs and chicken for about 20, though there was going to be a a good bit of other food as well. I hadn't manned a pit in quite a while and had a nice...- tbrtt1

Where's Waldo.....er tbrtt1
It's been since May (2018) since my last posting of any sort and it was a reply. So, to say I have been negligent in my smoking posts is the understatement of the year. This thing I had called a job not only continued to interrupt one of my favorite passions, it got worse. So, I fixed that. I... -
First Post.........in a while
This job thing is killing me lately. I haven’t posted any smokes in a while, but alas I was able to fire up the pellet pooper and throw a brisket on before I went to bed last night. I went deep into the smoke before I wrapped in butcher paper and I was rewarded with a very hearty bark. In fact... -
Oyster French Bread Dressing
This is a something I enjoyed during the holidays when visiting my New Orleans side of the family. It is a very New Orleans dish. I always believed no other city does more with oysters than New Orleans. Thankfully, I still live close enough to home so I can pretty much get anything I would get...- tbrtt1

I touched greatness today!
I was in St. Louis today for business and I had a few minutes in the afternoon and stopped by the St. Louis BBQ Store. If you’re ever in the area do you self a favor and stop in. Really nice folks and a tremendous selection of smokers, smoker assessories and sauces and rubs. When I get out of...- tbrtt1

Questions for the Stick Burnin' Pros
I just posted a lengthy diatribe about my maiden voyage with my Old Country Pecos stick burner. But I wanted a separate thread for the inevitable questions following a first all wood cook. 1-The Pecos seemed to "work" best with the smoke stack wide open (thats a no brainer I guess) and the...- tbrtt1

Joining the ranks of Stick Burners
Been chewing on this for a while and decided to dip my toe into the world of stick burnin'. I have several quality pit makers here in the greater Houston area and if I expand that to a couple hundred miles, there is a ton manufacturers, Klose, Lone Star Grillz, so when I am ready, I'll have a...- tbrtt1

Free pecan wood in Baton Rouge area
My brother in Baton Rouge recently had to have a pecan tree cut down. If anyone needs pecan wood he will let you take all you can handle. Not sure (I’ll find out) but you may have to cut it. Anyone interested, please PM me. I do travel extensively during the week so forgive me if I take a...- tbrtt1

PBC Brisket
This job thing is getting in the way of my hobbies. Been crazy busy, but I had a home office day so it was time for a brisket. My weapon of choice today was the Pit Barrel Cooker. It has been many a moon since I cooked a brisket on the PBC. Probably a couple years. Just a cheap select from the...
