BBQ'ISMS the philosiphy of smoking...

[gypsyseagod]

thought this would be fun for jokes,observations, & just light hearted quips- maybe our "grand poopies or poobahs or "da whizzes" can make this a sticky. i'll go first.


recipe for smoking the perfect brisket...
the time required to smoke a perfect brisket allows you enough time to get drunk after putting it on & enough time to sober up before taking it off.

notice this is in the jokes section.....

The art of smoking: The coordination of filling your freezer with large quantities of meats, the commitment, planning, preparation and smoking to perfection of said large quantities of meats, while having enough stamina to hold your 15th beer upright without spilling it in your lap as you fall asleep during an all nighter...

 

[hawgheaven]

I rethunk it and just updated it, if that's okay... maybe it's a little too long now, butt...

 

[gypsyseagod]

the enlarging of your deck to accomodate the next 15 smokers & the kids sleeping on said deck to make room for the additional freezers....btw- 5-8 deep chest freezers can keep a room warm enough to a kid...

The adoption and feeding of the local fire company...

[gypsyseagod]

however ya spell it.
1 cup flour
3 tbsp lard
1 tbsp black pepper(or red)
1/4 cup shrimp or crabjuice
1 bar stool
1 12 pack beer
4 hrs free time

sit on the stool pop beer #1-
in a 12' cast iron skillet or dutch oven mix the pepper,flour,lard. & pepper over med. heat- stir constantly....
drink beer #2 keep stirring slowly...
by beer #4 add a splash( ya greedy coonarse)/
by beer #6 or 30mins(which ever comes first)- my guess is beer #6- add the shrimp or crab juice-
increase heat to 3/4- stir & drink faster...add a splash of beer...
keep stirring...
either ya run outta beer or ya fall off the stool- whatever ya do don't quit stirring...
remove from heat,cover, have someone kick ya 4hrs later..... drink the last beer & pronounce the roux done.....

Gypsy, it's 6am Orlando time and i'm now starving after looking at those pics. I noticed you had pans of liquid under your meat. Is that a must-do every time you Q?

Hey Gypsy, roux is great, here is something to go with it.

Subject: FW: How to make Christmas cookies


Here is how to make Christmas Cookies.........
Christmas Cookie Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila
Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.
Turn on the electric mixer...Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar...Beat again.At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup ... just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off floor... Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet.
Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven.
Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.
Don't forget to beat off the turner.
Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.
CHERRY MISTMAS

no butit does keep my temps stable @ 225-250. plus w/ all that pork,fatty, & brisket the pit & deck would be a greasy mess as the snp tends to leak greas out of a screw just before it gets to the catch can(which fills up in 5 mins flat).

The time 'twixt projected dinner time and actual dinner time has no meaning to the meat, nor the smoker.
