    Hickory smoke flavoring problem

    Hi there, I’m trying to make a rub that’s similar to Kansas style rubs. Most popular rubs of brands have amazing earthy real hickory wood smell with the combination of other spices and herbs. However, I tried using hickory smoke from the market in my testing rub, but it produced a "burnt" bad...

    Prepping My Brioster for Father's Day BBQ

    Hey guys. I started prepping my brisket this afternoon for my Father's Day BBQ on Saturday. I picked this up on Wild Fork. It weighed in at 16 1/2 pounds. It took about 20 minutes to trim. I have a nice amount of beef fat that I will render down in a pan during my cook. I'm planning on a very...

    Brisket Point on Kettle - second time a charm

    After purchasing my first ever Weber Kettle (Master Touch) a couple months back, one of the first things I did was smoke a brisket flat. It was tasty, but a few things were not great. I had temp inconsistency, didn't start early enough so had to foil wrap so there was no bark, and was not very...

    Delicious Double Briskets from 4th of July!

    So, I decided that brisket must be had for the 4th of July, and with about 15 ppl coming over, I needed to ensure leftovers so I opted for two since they were almost identical in weight @ 15# and 14.92# and less than 10% trim loss. I used the most coarse setting on my pepper grinder and did 1...

    Black spots on rings of freshly cut hickory wood?

    Hi - we just chopped down 2 hickory trees (the previous homeowners planted them RIGHT next to our house... less than 10 ft away) so we have a ton of wood! They were very healthy, nut-producing trees (believe they were shagbark). We noticed as we were chopping the sections into logs that they...

    First Time Ribs on the Smoker

    For Father's Day I had my first attempt at ribs in the smoker. I bought two racks of spareribs and coated them with Dinosaur BBQ rub from the store. I did one rack for 2 hrs smoke then wrapped with some apple juice for two more hours. The other rack was dry for the first 3:45 and sauced and...
