Hey All,
I was on pulled pork duty for a group of friends at a get together out of town last weekend. I bought two 8lb. pork butts. Smoked them, rested, pulled, vacuum sealed and froze. I thawed them out two days prior to the get together, placed the pulled pork in a couple of aluminum foil...
Hey All,
I have a New Braunfels Hondo smoker with offset firebox. Have had it for about 10 years. The firebox has had rust on it from early on, it got to the point that the plate to control the airflow was rusted in place.
I drilled the bolt, put a torch to it and was finally able to twist the...
I have several questions here.
I smoked a brisket a couple weeks ago, flat with point attached. I put a temp probe in the flat and another in the point. The flat came up to temp faster than the point, as expected. I left it unfoiled for the entire smoke ~19 hours on a 12lb. brisket to about...
Hey All,
I have a 12 lb. Brisket on the smoker, it's 11:48 a.m. and it went on around 5:30 p.m. yesterday.
I have two temp probes in it, one in the middle of the flat going from the end horizontally with the length of the Brisket and one on the opposite side going the same way. The skinny side...
Hey All,
I've been informed that friends want me to come out to their lake house 300 miles away and do a brisket for a friends retirement party. I've done a couple of briskets on my New Braunfels offset barrel smoker with ok results.
The kicker is my smoker will be a cinder block makeshift...
Hey All,
Been a while since I've posted up here. This past Fourth of July I went to a friends lake house outside of Ft. Worth and we smoked a whole hog, it was great. What was not so great was we pulled it with our bare hands. That was HOT...
At home it's just the wife and I so I never do huge...
It's been a while since I've been on here, however I've been informed that we are doing a 100lb. pig (before butchering) for the 4th of July. I have a New Braunfels smoker that I've done tons of ribs and chicken on. So I have experience smoking meat, but chunks of meat, not the whole thing...
Hey All,
It's that time again, throwing down to two racks of spare ribs, an eight pound pork butt and a fattie (my version at least). Attached are pics. The wife doesn't care for Jeff's rub or any other rub I've come up with, so I'm doing eight ribs for her with John Henry's commercial rub...
Hey All
I'm planning to do up my first Pork Butt this weekend with either some ribs or a brisket.
What do y'all do as far as building your fire? I have a New Braunfels Hondo smoker with an offset fire box. Do you do your smokes burning mostly lump charcoal with a few pieces of wood for smoke...
Hey Y'all
I smoked a brisket and chicken a couple weeks ago, I started out well, posting pics and such, but when it was done I was sooooo hungry I forgot to post the finished product. I'll try to do better next time!!! :)
This weekend I'm tossing on a rack of baby back ribs, a rack of beef...
Hey Y'all
I've have a New Braunfels - Oklahoma Joe smoker, offset firebox. I tried doing a brisket a couple years ago, shortly after buying the smoker. I had no clue what I was doing. I woke up at 1 a.m. to get things started, then woke up every hour or so to check on it. I pretty much slept...
Hey Y'all
I will be smoking a rack of spare ribs tomorrow, this will be my fifth or sixth attempt with varying results. I've read the 3-2-1 method, and I've also seen people talking about taking the ribs off the smoker and wrapping in foil and then placing them in a towel stuffed cooler for an...
Howdy Y'all, I'm from Houston Tx
Glad I finally found this site, it does have good info but I still seem to have a problem.
I do killer Steaks n Burgers n bbq Chicken on a Grill. I had a Brinkman upright smoker that worked real well also. So I have some experience, not a pro by any stretch...
