Georgia Brunswick stew

Where I'm from, when you go to a BBQ restaurant and ask for a BBQ plate, you will get BBQ'ed pork, potato salad and Brunswick stew unless you tell them otherwise.

Looking at this pic, maybe I should go with the 48 Patio.

Unfortunately, the 'better half' in my house would probably throttle me if I came home with another smoker.  There are currently 3 grills and 3 smokers on my patio.  She thinks I'm obsessed.  In response, I asked her how many pairs of shoes she owned.  

I get the stitches out next week :)

Now see guys, this is the kind of help I was looking for! I get a new Lang, I could end up with stitches.

That's what I was saying before. Always go a bit bigger than what you think you will need. I learned the hard way.

Technically, talking me into a 48 Patio is like talking me out of a 36 Original Patio, so...thank you?

 

[glocksrock]

You're welcome?

Any Lang that shows up here I'd buy instantly...

Remember it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission...

I missed this post. Yes, you would have every right to buy any Lang that showed up in Hawaii. No one would fault you, not even the wife. I envy your position, with the exception of the fact that a Lang is probably not going to show up in Hawaii.

Yea but a few stitches should be worth it for a Lang.

Anybody ever been to Franklin bbq in Austin texas? I'm gonna attempt his brisket recipe this weekend!! Long smoke 13 to 15 hours

There is this place down the road from me in Metter, Ga. called Papa Buck's. He actually lived about 4 miles from me as the crow flies. But they make great brisket, so we asked the waitress about it and she said Papa Buck had tried relentlessly to get his brisket right but was having trouble. To make a long story short, they got some dude from Texas to show them how it was done, now it's their best seller. I love it. It's the reason I don't make my own, because I don't see a way to improve on it. The bark and texture is perfect, and they drizzle some sort of sauce on it that will knock your socks off. I have to be somewhat in the area (within 12 miles) of Papa Buck's today, so guess where I'm going for lunch.

I bought a 36" Stretch Deluxe Runabout last weekend and went to the Q-School.  Had an amazing time with all the guys, Ben Lang and Chef Paul Kirk.

My better half told me if I brought home another smoker I'd have to live in it! So I went and bought these instead!

Unless you are using a Creekstone Farms Prime brisket, gonna be hard to replicate his recipe..or at least his results, this is one of the key factors into his success, buying a higher grade of meat, which explains why he charges upwards of $24 per pound for sliced brisket.

Thanks for the feedback! Guess I'll have to stick with the Kroger brand and hope for the best!!

I'm not saying you can't cook a great brisket without buying a Creekstone, just letting you know his biggest factor, in my humble opinion, to his success.  I cook the Creekstone Primes and occasionally a few other brands of Prime briskets in competition and they tend to stand head and shoulders above all others.  Happy smoking and most of all, just have patience!  Guess I kind of hijacked this thread...my bad. 

 

[twistedhickory]

No problem at all! I greatly appreciate it! This will be my first time smoking brisket.

 

[inkjunkie]

So when are you picking it up.....or did you already get it?

 

[twistedhickory]

Hey Bryan, congrats on your new lang! I just bought a new 60 deluxe and this thing is a beast! Holds Temps on 2 sticks an hour like nothing I've ever used. Best of luck with it! Steve

Thanks Gary, greatly appreciated! Salt and pepper only seems to be the way, I'll post pics on the outcome.
