Ok boys... We are having friends from out of town over for dinner on Wednesday night. The wife wanted to give them some texas love, SO i JUST pulled a little 10lb packer and a 7 lb butt off of the smoker. I have read a hundred threads on this but I cant find the ones I am looking for, BUT...

Well competed in my first Sanctioned event this past weekend. It was the first annual Southern Star Brewery BBQ Cookoff in Conroe, TX sanctioned by Lonestar BBQ Society. It had a field of 27 and I figured it being the first annual at a brewery, I should have a good chance to do pretty well for...

No pit, smoke or charcoal used here, but thought id share. Crawfish Etoufette, fried crawfish, and Corn macque cheaux. All of this bbq and smoking has definitely taken a toll on my Cajun cooking. BUT i still have a feel for the kitchen and cast iron. Never made a macque cheaux before, but i...

A small comp coming up in 2 weeks and the last time I cooked ribs they were overcooked and forgettable. SO for my own sanity I fired up the smoker on a icky rainy day. Results were REALLY good. I am going to add one more dusting of HoneyHog at sauce time, but thats the only change i am going...

An accountant at heart and always working to perfect the brisket, this is what happens after a brisket cook. Thought id share my madness. rb

Its been since New Years since iv put some smoke to a brisket. Figured i needed to get another one through the smoker before my comp in late April. Picked up a small 10# prime from Costco. Trimmed, seasoned, injected (first time) and smoked over KBB and Post Oak in the WSM. This is the first...

Cranking up for a LoneStar bbq society event in april, so i decided to run a couple of half chickens. The chicken was VERY good and we enjoyed it. BUT there were a couple issues. As an after thought, the last layer of seasoning was a very light dusting of Cayenne. I should have omitted it...

Had a little family coming over for the game. 6 adults. So why not cook 3 racks of ribs (on SUPER sale), 5 lbs of chicken legs/thighs and a couple pounds of wings??? Sounds completely reasonable. did 3-2-1 on the ribs, but iv stopped using brown sugar in the wrap and moved to drizzling...

my father in law's ENTIRE family came into Houston for a Big christmas/nye celebration last weekend. The kickoff of the weekend (friday evening) was at my house, and we decided to do Smoked brisket and pulled pork tacos for 40. Hit up Costco and grabbed a 18.7lb brisket and 2 boneless butts...

Our neighbors recently had their 3rd baby, and we like to helpout when we can. So we are sending over dinner for the family tonight. AND what better to make for friends? Smoked pulled pork tacos / sandwhiches of course. And obviously its been raining since friday, but that is no reason to...

continuation of this thread http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?68095-Going-In-Big-and-Blind! Well we attacked it full steam ahead. Fired up that big animal of a smoker at 1am. There was a definite learning curve. Its not the best designed smoker. I am pretty sure the box is too big and the...

Not sure if this should be in the Competition forum (not what i would call a real competition so here i am), but here I go anyway. So our neighborhood has a annual BBQ Cookoff. I think there are going to be 18 teams. Its a very laidback and family oriented event, I dont think very competitive...

I am breaking in Chester with an afternoon Ribs and Wings. (Chester like in COPPERpot). Had the afternoon off, and got the ribs on with a version of the Memphis Dust around 430pm. I have been keeping the Dome thermo at around 275-300, but no sure how accurate it is. The wings went on after...

I recently posted a question here about what are the thoughts on Wild Hogs on the smoker. SO i made a call to a friend and low and behold i now have the 4 qts of a wild hog in the fridge. The hinds are about 7lbs each and the fronts are around 4lbs each. (WITH THE BONE) They are all still on...

Spent the weekend at a festival in South Louisiana and got inspired to stir a roux. Made a little shrimp stew. Came out pretty good and had some nice spice. rb

Pretty excited for the upgrade. I have some kind of "bbq pro" that iv been using w/ zero ability to control airflow.. They say copper cooks best.. :) rb

I see the pix all over instagram, figured id try my hand at beef short ribs.. A few of them came out a little under, should have just cooked them all to about 205, but i was scared of going over, but a couple over wouldnt have been bad for a sunday dinner. i tried to sneak them in just under...

Was in what i would call my first competitions. Actually was in the same one last year, but had ZERO knowledge of what i was doing and was pretty much just out there for support. Over the last 12 months i have dedicated myself to learning how to actually smoke a good brisket. Well along with...

So i competed in this little event last weekend and was parked aside a pull rib with a massive smoker, and i have to admit i was a little jealous. We were setup with my 18.5 WSM and 2 BGEs. Over the day I watched them cooking on the one big cooker, and everything was cooking around 225* from...

So my brother in law puts on a BBQ Cookoff for his church. This is the 3rd year for the HolySmoke BBQ Cookoff and its becoming a pretty good event. Full KCBS rules and blind judging by mostly local restaurateurs. 20 Teams this year and there were some serious cookers out there. A few...
