Hi from sunny Miami Florida

[triman22000]

Been on here for a while , lurking more then anything. Thought it was time I checked in. Been BBQing since I was 15 years old first job was a cook at a BBQ resturant here in Miami, Back then we cooked all on black jack oak. Since I moved on never stopped cooking BBQ. Lately really been trying to get into rubs and smoking got me a good smoker at Bass pro shop. So been doing some experimanting with rubs. Tried my first brisket a few weeks ago my wife really loved it realy tender and moist. Just here to learn more would love to get into competition someday. Nice to meet you all

so many responses here. The black jack oak was shipped in. But now I go to bass pro shop to get my chips have tried them all but have found out the mesquite has to strong a flavor for me so now I have been combining oak with apple and have had good results.
I was reading about the 321 method kind backwards from what I have been doing for years I put the rub on it and wrap it in tin foil the night before and then start them off on the grill for 2 hours, After that I take them out and by then they are already real tender. Cook them the rest of the way on the smoker. My wife loves to have sauce on them so I finish them off with sauce. But we are going to a seafood festival in Chokoloskee this weekend and I am going to cook some ribs and maybe some pork. I will take some pics this time but will need some help to put them on here.

thanks all John

There is a general consensus that most of the smoke taken into the meat is done during the early part of the smoke. Once the meat starts reaching the 140º internal area, less smoke is being taken into the interior of the meat, although surface will still accept smoke flavor. Of course, if it has enough smoke flavor the way you do it, then keep it up, that's the point. Getting good food for your taste is what it is all about.
