Hello all, new smoking addict here close to Cape Cod, MA. I'd been wanting to try smoking for a couple years and finally took the plunge and picked up a WSM 18.5" just after Memorial Day. Since then I've done 5 smokes, including a number of pork butts and spare ribs. I've had some really nice results. I'm super happy with the pork butts I've done, most recently 3 butts for a party last weekend. Loved serving up freshly shredded samples to my guests, who were in heaven! Ribs have been a little trickier, but all have come out tasty, just with a few bumps in the learning curve. Looking to try beef short ribs as well as brisket this summer.
I've also been busy making sauces and learning what BBQ styles and sauces I prefer. My favorite BBQ I've had has been at Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse NY, and I use their sauce a lot, especially on ribs. I also had fantastic ribs at Saw's BBQ in Birmingham, AL, and I love their tangy NC vinegar style sauce. Love exploring different regional styles and sauces, and I am sure there is a lot more out there that is fantastic!!! The culture, history, and regional tastes of BBQ are a lot more interesting now that I'm smoking myself!
Looking forward to learning and experimenting as well as sharing the passion with you all!
