And all this time I had a smoker that would make "award winning ribs" right underneath my stovetop.

Dang it goat, had me worried for a minute. Couldn't figure out what in the world would make you want to sell your stuff. lol

What a video....I wonder if that is for real. That's why I drive down the alley behind Q joints to look for a smoke stack or pit.

Sad thing is that in this area most folks would agree with him as that is all they've ever had. I'm trying to change that one person at a time.
 
Look at some of his other pics and such. This guy is clearly a competition cook. But, on page 5, it looks like he knows his fishing (pic on bottom left, may not be suitable for all workplaces, hopefully that does not include mine).

Had some good looking pigs on the cooker though.
 
Get ready to hate me...

For those without a smoker his method is not bad. I would use less water and add wine, stock, herbs, and so on to braise the ribs and add flavor. Cook till done then heat and glaze on the grill. Its not bbq but there are other methods that will achieve great results.

Braising is a classic method of cooking and very useful on tough cuts.
 
I thought that video was a joke at first then it all came clear to me that everyone here has been blowing smoke up my rear on what real AWARD winning Q is all about.
 
I'm sure it's real, it's probably one of the many ways family style restaurants cook ribs. I've never seen ribs parboiled before, seems it would take away some of the flavor. When my uncle had his restaurant, we would cook BB's in the convection oven for 2 hrs, they always came out great. Of course there was no smoke ring or smoke flavor, but most customers didn't care. As long as the meat was tender, they were happy.
 
Anyone ever have a chili or stew? Those would qualify as braised meats

Notice I said its not bad for those w/o a smoker. I also would not personally braise a tender cut of meat.
 
My big problem V...is you KEEP the moisture from the braise. This guy boils them and tosses it. Along with ALOT of the meat flavors. Yes, the braise is good, but he's done a bad job of even that...not to mention using the acronym BBQ.
