    Brisket

    Jamie, I was just given a whole packer left over from the recent KCBS event here in Lexington, N.C. and in reading your directions in the new book, i noticed it says you should prepare it on the 22.5 WSM. Is there any particular reasoning for this, or is this piece of beef just going to be...

    Best BBQ Book(s) - What is your "Bible"?

    I have gotten more good information from this board than any book i have read. I find myself going back to a book titled "holy smoke" it is a book about North Carolina Q. I also recently purchased Dinosaur BBQ on Kindle and we have tried 3 recipes so far & all 3 are now staples in our household.

    I went down to the farmers market on Saturday here in Salisbury and got 3.66 lbs of cukes and my wife and i prepared these. I did reduce the sugar by about half the amount the book calls for, but that is the only adjustment we made to the recipe. When finished we ended up with 2 quart and 2 pint...

    Barbie's Down South Smoked BBQ Beans

    Fixed these under 3 racks of loin backs on Saturday and all i can say is wow. Only adjustment we made is we used a 3lb can of Bush"s and my wife adjusted down the size of the rest of the ingredients, did not have chimayo so she used chipotle instead. Best baked beans i have ever tasted.
