Best thing you ever smoked

[macanudo]

If you could pick the one favorite thing that you have smoked what would it be ?

 

[blue]

Got to be brisket. After smoking it for 17+ hours and spending half the night making sure she is safe and warm....plus, I'm a sucker for beef.

 

[raceyb]

Pork ribs competition style

 

[meat hunter]

I'm with Blue on this one, has to be brisket. Beef baby, it's whats for dinner

. Not to mention those sinfully delicious burnt ends that you get......

 

[fire it up]

Wow, this is a hard one.
Garlic injected and rubbed pulled pork was great, burnt ends are even better...
I think all said and done my absolute favorite would have to be a chipotle pastrami with the point turned into pastrami bites. Heavenly pastrami melting/crunchy cubes of goodness...

 

[pignit]

Home cured pastrami... but... it's all good.

 

[forluvofsmoke]

Very tough one there, Macanudo.......

The Corned Beef Pastrami I made from scratch has to be in my top 3, if not THE top. One other in the top 3 is my Sweet Garlic & Pepper Chicken Sausage. Then, there's the Beef Salami.....oh, and my spicy Canadian Bacon.........shucks, I'm smoking up my first Chicken Pastrami as I type.........oh man, I can't decide 'cause the verdict on the chix 'strami's not out yet!

I may have to come back to this one in on Monday evening after work.....

I'm a sucker for swine, I'll say pork butt.

I think it's a real toss up between a good brisket and like Jim said a home cured and smoke pastrami has to be right up there with the best. But then you throw in a good smoked brisket that would just melt in your mouth I cann't really make up my mind. So brisket of some sort is the winner.

Big 6 bone Prime Rib Roast with garlic & horseradish crust - slow smoked with wild cherry wood to medium rare.



Ahhhhhhh memories!

 

[smoking gun]

BRISKET!!! Whenever I smoke a brisket there are no leftovers. Spare ribs are in a dead heat with Chuckies for second.

 

[erain]

ditto on the brisky!!! seared with a garlic peppercorn mop... just dont get better than brisket... but a rib roast would be a few close second... but definatly beef!!! love the butts and the the ribs too, but the beef is just crazy out of hand my favorite... interesting thread

 

[smoking gun]

As I said Brisket is my favorite but J-loin is probably my most famous.

Right Erain?

 

[erain]

ahh yes, how could we forget J-Loin..... memorys of precrash era!!! the good ol days...

 

[pops6927]

Pickled and smoked turkey is right up there, along with dried beef and bucksaw bacon. Brisket and pork butt are solid seconds, but with the family gone we don't get to do much of those very often, just too much for me and momma... and if I cut into a pork butt... sausage, baby! A brisket I could separate into a point and a flat, but usually pickle it then into corned beef or pastrami, but that's once a year at SPDay (about the only holiday I don't have to work!). Summer sausage with cheese is another favorite too... so is polska kielbasa... well hell, just make it easy.. They're All Number One!

If you asking my Favorite.......Its my 4th july whole hog

The best I have ever done was the first smoke on my Lang....Hands down..Sounds like im just Boasting the Lang but it was the best smoke ive done

 

[gnubee]

I wuz gonna say Brisket, but changed my mind. Ribs hands down.

Reason being is that I departed from my usual 2 2 1 or 3 2 1 and followed someone's advice, prepped them as always then turned down the smoker to 210f put them in for the entire 6 hours at that temp apple smoke all the way, no moping, no flipping, no spritz, no foil and no peeking. You check at 5.5 hours and sometimes their done and sometimes it takes 6 hours. They have just the right amount of tug to them, not falling off the bone which I feel is too much. And believe it or don't better flavour than the 3 2 1 method.

Heresy? Maybe but its what I believe.

The only thing better than ribs done like that are ribs boiled for 3 hours with liquid smoke added at the end. Slather a cheap sauce on them and grill till you see them starting to blacken. YUMMY!

 

[scpatterson]

WOW...Now Im hungry......That sounds delicous after eating rice and black chicken for 5 weeks

 

[coyote-1]

Hard to say.

Last year's turkey is right up at the top of the list... but then again, my last batch of ribs and two butts came out as good as one could want.

 

[treegje]

it is very hard to make a choice,pork loin or chicken
I'm going for the chicken
I love a good juicy and spicy chicken
