    Myron Mixon book: Everyday Barbecue

    Has anyone used the recipes provided by Mr. Mixon in his book: Everyday Barbecue? This is not a thread to bash Mr. Mixon, his book or to flame useless gossip.   I picked up his book at my local library and found it so interesting that I bought it from Amazon for my Ipad. I experimented using...

    Variation in cooking temperatures for ribs

    In my WSM, I've done hundreds of racks of ribs, both baby back and St. Louis cuts.  My goto temperature has always been in the the 250* - 275*.  I've never tried anything above this range.  On the Weber website, there are a lot of videos by Jamie Purviance, who is an expert chef at...

    Quick help with a brisket

    Last night I put a nice size brisket into my WSM.  And I smoked it until 199* IT (normally, I'll take it as high as 205*). I had to run out for an hour and didn't want to leave it smoking while I was gone.  I wrapped it for a few hours and just sliced a piece off.  The smell is amazing as usual...

    Solution to AMNPS consistency

    Alot of folks here have bought the AMNPS for the Masterbuilt smoker.  The problem that alot of folks have is, having the pellets burning consistently and having that thin blue smoke (TBS) that we all fantasize about.  There are equally hundreds of threads complaining about the AMNPS not working...

    Slaughterhouse Poultry brine & rub

    Hi gang, Sunday, I'm going to smoke a few chicken halves.  it's been so long since I've used the Slaughterhouse brine recipe.  Anyway, after bringing, I'm looking for a decent rub.  Since the chickens will be brined, I don't need a strong rub.  I actually may just rub the chicken with either...

    Advice on Brisket

    A few months ago, I somewhat perfected briskets. Last month, I picked up a 6.97 lb brisket from Walmart. I smoked the meat at 235*, with the goal of getting to 195* internally. Once the meat got to 190*, I did the toothpick test and it was butter soft (easily removable) so I pulled the...

    BRISKET...SUCCESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    First off, I've been smoking for many of years.  I've had nothing but success with pork; poultry; fish, cheese but when it came down to brisket, well let's just say if I were in grade school, I would have received a D.  I've never been confident with smoking a brisket.  I think I've only done...

    venting about burnt ends and commercialism

    First off, this is just me venting... I've posted several times how disappointed I've been with my brisket. In my opinion, it's never been spot on. I'm here in Charlotte, N.C., which is not known for brisket but pulled pork. So, over the weekend, my better half and I went to a BBQ joint...
