    The many meals of brisket

    I picked up a 14lbs packer brisket at RD and decided to get as much out of it as possible. I cut it into three pieces, the point, and two portions of flat. I rubbed the point and one half of the flat with a blend of standard BBQ rubs that I use, and the other half of the flat in salt and pepper...

    Brisket Practice

    Did a trial run for my upcoming competition. The brisket turned out great, and the burnt ends were incredible.

    Anyone want to join a competition team?

    I'm doing my second competition this month in Cresskill. NJ. The competition is September 23-25. Right now the team is just me and my brother, but I'd love to add another person or two. Next year I'm hoping to do at least a competition a month next season. You don't need to be experienced, but...

    Competition T-Shirts Ordered

    Just ordered my first shirts for the BBQ team. I named the team J 'n' C BBQ for our two dogs, Jack and Conor. My wife drew the dogs and I put the logo together. What do you guys think? (Attached a shot of the dogs for reference and because they're awesome.)

    Fab B Lite

    Anyone using it? I'm doing a trial run with it on Labor Day. Hoping to use it in this month's competition if I like the results. I'm planning on mixing it with beef broth and apple juice for the trial run and using a Plowboys Bovine Bold Rub for the brisket. Not sure what sauce I'll finish with...

    First Competition Pictures - NJ State Championship

    So I did my first competition this weekend. I'm battered, bruised, burnt and exhausted... and I can't wait until the next one! For my first competition, I didn't expect to do very well, so I was pretty happy with 55th overall of 65 competitors. I learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and met some...

    Any tips for a new competitor?

    So in 2 days I'm headed down to the New Jersey BBQ State Championship, which will be my first competition. I know a lot of people don't participate in some of the auxiliary competitions, but I want to try to compete in everything, including the dessert, sauce, and iron chef categories.  I have...

    NEED HELP IN NJ

    I'm entered in the NJ state championship next weekend, which was going to be my first competition. I had a few people coming to help out, and they all bailed. Now yesterday I pulled a tendon in my arm and I'm not sure how bad it's going to be next weekend, so competing on my own is basically...

    New smoker - 3 day weekend (Pics)

    I picked up my new Meadow Creek SQ36 on Friday, and since I took the day off to go get it, I basically had a full three day weekend to play with it. After seasoning it on Friday, it was too late to start anything big, so I just tossed on some chicken thighs that I had marinated for a few hours. ...

    It's HERE!!!

    Got the call earlier this week that my smoker was ready. Went and picked it up today. Strapped it down and got it home, seasoned it up, and smoked a few pounds of chicken on it tonight. Here's the first few pictures getting it home and spraying it down for seasoning. In the truck on the way...

    New Smoker Ordered!

    I was considering a Meadow Creek TS120 this year, but we had some unexpected expenses, so I'm going to hold off until next season. Since I really wanted a new smoker this season, I decided to pull the trigger on a Meadow Creek SQ36. I spoke to the place I'm ordering it from, and they said that...

    Insulated Firebox and Live Smoke

    I'm hoping to pull the trigger on a Meadow Creek TS120 in the next couple of weeks. The smoker is pretty well outfitted, with stainless racks standard, CoA / VIN for the trailer and a bunch of other options standard, but there are a couple of options I'm not 100% sure about. Live Smoke in the...

    Greetings from NJ

    Hey everyone! Just joined the forum and I thought I'd say hello. Here's a little background on me. I'm in Northern NJ and I've been cooking all my life, everything from comfort food to molecular gastronomy. I bought a smoker a few years ago and fell in love. If I can get my smoker to maintain...
