Beef Plate Ribs
I smoked 2 yesterday. After the smoker was rolling I sat down with a Nub Cameroon & a cup of joe. After the cook was done and we were sitting by the pool, I lit up a Davidoff Aniversario No. 3. -
Beef Plate Ribs
I found some beef plate ribs on sale a while back & could not pass on grabbing them. Four 3-bone racks, making weighing almost 23 lb. total! Coated them with salt, pepper, & garlic the night before, using hot sauce as a binder. Smoked them at 275F for 8 hours in my Louisiana Grills 7 Series with... -

Took a small hiatus from the internet, but did not stop cooking. Not quite the novice I was back when I started, but there is always more to learn. I'll forever be a student of the BBQ.- PapaLlama

No flip burgers
Wow, that looks amazing. What a feast! I bet any guests were extremely happy. -
Smoked Wings
It's a rub that my competition team makes. It's low salt, slightly sweet with a touch of heat at the end. Very good, if I do say so. Not as crispy as when I do them on the vortex. Running the smoker at 275F does prevent the skin from getting rubbery. -
Smoked Wings
I normally use my Vortex for wings, but this weekend I tested em out on my "new" pellet smoker. It was very good & very tasty. I'm still getting used to the concept of using the smoke setting before actually turning the temp up, but the pellet smoker's ease of use means I can cook some meat more... -
Pellet Smoker Bland Compared to old WSM
I was recently gifted a Louisiana Grill 7 series pellet smoker & I have actually had good results with the smoke. I have been buying a very high quality pellet produced in this region, and that may have something to do with it. It definitely isn't perfect compared to my WSM, but I have been...- PapaLlama

Making the most of a Boston Butt.
When we carve up animals we use a bandsaw for stuff like this. Just have to rinse off the bone fragments afterwards.- PapaLlama

What Are Y'all Doing?
I have a few shops/grocers I'll visit & watch for sales. I find myself being extra picky about prices when looking for meat now. Unfortunately where I live baby back ribs are high in demand & never go on sale. I've started cooking spare ribs instead & haven't been bummed. We have a place called...- PapaLlama

Tennessee Gathering April 30-May 2
I'm not sure yet. Currently house hunting which is... chaotic, to say the least. I shall know more by the week of the event. If I do come, I'll probably camp out in a tent.- PapaLlama

20 pound brisket on the WSM
Took off from work to smoke a 20 pound behemoth. Papa Llama is from the midwest so I've been working on my beef bbq since that's what he grew up with. Been reading a book by Aaron Franklin, so I changed my methodology and it made noticeable improvements in this cook. The bark was perfect... -

Vortex Wings & Cigars
I only have a 22" kettle. I've been pretty successful going by temp, unless the skin really does look done. The wings were insanely juicy & tender this last weekend, so it seems to be working. -
Vortex Wings & Cigars
I did it on the kettle. I have doubts about the WSM working for 2 reasons. The first is that the space between the top of the vortex and the grates above it would be much further apart. Secondly, I can't predict if the vortex would be able to create the same heat distribution in a WSM which is...
