BBQ restaurant, with no BBQ

[atomicsmoke]

Meh...how about those frozen bbq wings at costco? Were they smoked on a real smoker? Ofcourse not.

Most people i know don't smoke ribs. Many boil then grill them.

I am pretty sure many of us here cook non-authentic lasagna.we still call it lasagna.

Pulled pork is still pulled pork even when cooked in the crockpot. No smoke taste or bark but still tastes good.

And...nothing wrong with liquid smoke. I use it often.

I've never seen a BBQ joint around here that doesn't have a smoker somewhere on the premises. Must be a state code. A joint like Poukie mentioned wouldn't last a day here.
We all know the best Q comes from our own backyards.

most of them use a gas smoker rotisserie and they put the meat on at night for the next day at 11 .

For the part in bold I would have to disagree. I have been to more than one cookout and even a BBQ restaurant that that statement did not hold up.

Ok, I will admit, not anyone apparently The point was they are forgiving.

Sorry PoukieBear but _I_ am the luckiest guy on earth.

Spodie Odie Odds are you do not give your wife the impression you know what you're doing yet. It takes some experience. Undercooked stuff is classic no no and so is being waaaay off on dinner time. Once you get your technique down she will come around. I didn't serve my stuff to my family until I got decent enough and had confidence it was actually good. All this being said, I can say with certainity that I converted my wife to BBQ with smoked chuck. Made tacos with it and the rest was history. That said, once I smoked beef ribs THE FAMILY agreed that it is by far our favorite and brisket a close second.

zwiller I have cooked for family events and am currently smoking 13 racks of ribs, 12 leg quarters and 2 butts on the smoker. I have had many bad BBQ cooks in the past trying different techniques but I think I about have it dialed in. I will try those tacos though! I might have to steal your recipe on that.

Boil and grill works quite well. To me if you put BBQ sauce on PP you might as well not smoke it and just crock rocket as I call it. Most popular store bought sauces have liquid smoke in them.

I have only ever met a couple of people that boil ribs. Know quite a few that wrap and steam them in the oven and then finish them off on the grill.

If you have wild/feral hog ribs this is a sure fire way to get them right without worry of drying them out.
You steam covered in the oven and then finish on the grill, mmmmm!
Those animals just don't have much fat on them :)
