    Rub ingredients that don't survive the cook?

    Rub ingredients that don't survive the cook?

    That's something I've thought about too. I can't narrow down which ones go 'up in smoke', but it's probably the more aromatic ones. In my opinion, raw sugar or brown sugar in the rub (and a pretty generous amount of it) will do the best job of trapping the other flavors - at least most of...

    TEXAS BBQ #1 RUB PEANUTS

    The Texas BBQ is in the group. I even put that on sirloins! (When I slow-smoke them) I don't think I'll ever narrow it down to just one, because all my 'finalists' have attributes that set them apart of the others. Texas BBQ - overall taste. The Southside Market - aroma, taste, but not a...

    TEXAS BBQ #1 RUB PEANUTS

    Bryan, I finally got around to testing the peanuts. Awesome! I used this: http://www.southsidemarket.com/OnlineStore.htm as my seasoning (The bag of BBQ spice on that page) because it's one of the finalists in my search for best commercially available brisket rub. I will be making more for...

    TEXAS BBQ #1 RUB PEANUTS

    Bryan, yes I have had the pretzels, and they are great. Every year around CFB kickoff time I start looking around for something different, the peanuts are right up my alley. Hey, if I'm gonna do a test run I'd better hurry - game day is fast approaching! There's nothing like 'sports bar' type...

    TEXAS BBQ #1 RUB PEANUTS

    I wasn't on this board when this recipe was posted, but I think I just found my "Opening day of College Football Season" snack! Of course, I'll probably have to do a few test batches between now & then.

    Tips for Long Minion

    Ripped this off of a Dutch Oven cooking site (something I always love to do): Factors that will affect cooking times and temperature are wind, air temperature, sun, shade, high humidity, ash accumulation and charcoal quality. Strong winds can make the charcoal burn extremely hot, ash...

    Tips for Long Minion

    Myself, I think it depends on your climate. Howard Barlow is in Beaumont and I'm in Bryan (both TX) and we share the million percent humidity. His results are the same as mine. I go with about 10-12 lit coals and get 225 for about 16 hours, and I start with water in the pan. I do not...

    Hooey or not??? (Red Butcher Paper)

    In my experience the only thing that will consistently produce a tender brisket is time. But I always do mine at 225 and don't foil because we like the bark to be firm. I never buy a trimmed brisket, so the fat content plays a big part in not having a dried out finished produce for me. The...

    New! Kingsford Hickory!

    The Kingsford Charwood is abundant in my neck of the woods. I really like it for high heat cooks, I haven't tried it for a long 'n' slow session yet. Still looking for that competition K. to try.

    Par boiling misery - AGAIN

    You need to 'get in on the ground floor' like I try to do. If there's an event coming up, ask them EARLY to congregate at your house. That way you're in control of the menu. It's worked for me for several Superbowls and other such things. I've actually sold a few Weber kettles and WSMs in...

    Lettuce wraps? PF Chang style....

    http://www.recipesecrets.net/forums/ask-cooking-questio...i-lettuce-wraps.html This recipe is the most exact you'll find. The only thing I do that's not in the recipe is to pour some rice vinegar over the minced chicken for about 20-30 minutes to make it really tender (I do this every time I...

    Tacos?

    When I pull pork, I always put some aside before any finshing sauce or BBQ sauce touches it so we can have pork tacos the next day. I reheat the pork in a skillet with Adobo seasoning, and serve with a crispy taco shell, romaine lettuce and monterey jack cheese. Add some Valentino's sauce (the...

    Getting the Smoker under 250 degrees

    Less lit to start is key. Also, I always just leave my vents in the partially closed position, probably 1/3 open. I imagine that if you start your vents where they end up after you close them down, you'll get 225 degrees. Be patient, it takes me about an hour to get to 225, but while the heat...

    Brisket...when it's done it's done...?'s

    Add me to the 'leave the meat therm in the house' camp. Every brisket I've ever cooked has had a different level of tenderness at the popular foiling temp range. I'm low & slow all the way, and once I quit messing with the temp probe and quit foiling, two things happened: I got a very tender...

    BBQ Sauce

    I'll go as far as to say that I like a different sauce for everything that comes off my WSM. For ribs, I like a sweeter thicker sauce, for pulled pork it's got to be heavy on the apple cider vinegar (and thin), for chicken I like about the same thin vinegary sauce but heavier on the tomato...

    Dallas Barbecue

    Baker's Ribs in Dallas (2724 Commerce) made the Texas Monthly top 50. The review said the brisket was 'outrageous' with a great bark and smoke ring. They cook the brisket 15 hrs over mesquite coals.

    Did weber make a grey grill ?

    The grey is available in the Australian market still. I love looking at Weber's other market sites. Just like looking at cars or motorcycles, I wonder "Why can't WE get that?"

    Weber Performer Char Bin - Melted

    Well, if you like having all the charcoal to that side because of being left handed (I'm left handed also), then just stand on the other side of the grill.
