Yes sir it certainly is! I don't know if they had it this year or not due to the China Flu, but they have had to go to a lottery system due to high demand.

I hope you had to try to say something that stupid but I somehow doubt it.



BBQ requires very little in the way of magic...just pig, hickory, low temperature and time. If you try it with mesquite you are missing the mark by a country mile. If you are doing it with cow and mesquite you aint even on the same planet....

Living in the Pacific Northwest has softened your brain and made you start saying silly things.

So they mention, right off the bat, discussing wood LOL. A sure sign that something is amiss when the discussion in BBQ and there is a debate over wood.

They also have a temperature gauge in a picture at about 225 degrees LOL. They don't know bupkus about cooking a pig.

No doubt this is true....but I have also lived in Texas and I am from the deep south....and I understand that BBQ requires pigs and hickory...anything else is pretend BBQ.

This thread gives me the sads because I tried my first brisket last week and it was pretty damn bad. A combo of too low heat during the night, wrapped too late, and poor quality of meat.

I already have another one ready for round 2 and have been heavy into the Aaron Franklin YT videos.

Texan. Never lived anywhere else. Beef is the best by a country mile, especially dino ribs and brisket.

I will give pork/the east coast one thing. They have figured out hogs pretty well (other than pork belly burnt ends. Heim in Fort Worth is the Pork-God there). A good pulled pork with that tangy vinegar sauce and some good slaw makes a delicious sandwich.

But give us 10 meat eaters on a panel, you make your best pork and I make my best beef, I bet the vote comes in for the cow.

I just did my first brisket and it was just OK, but that was because I had way to many BBQ chiefs who were trying to tell me what to do and copious amounts of whiskey were involved. So it was the varying temps, wrapped too late, wrapped wrong, and pulled a little late.

Armed and ready for the 2nd try.

I know that dumbass. Nowhere did I say anything about grilling vs BBQ. But since you bring it up...you grill beef to get the best taste. As in a steak. Best BBQ is pork. Period. Dumb mother..

shite talking Texas Q makes no sense

Now acknowledging that A&M rides on UT's BBQ coattails is completely reasonable

Is it even possible to buy a vegan/soy brisket?

The cornstick sounds great. I’m trying to imagine the slaw. I like when my slaw and bbq combine a little but I think I like the creamy with the tangy combo not all tang. Hmm.




I’m just here for piggilicious’s love of tang.

I did just that 4 years in a row in Texas. Smoked 80 pounds of pork. Hauled it 400 miles. Had it for family and friends, all Texans, all very much enamored with texas BBQ. Also present was brisket from various hill country mainstays. Pork was gone 3-4 hours before the brisket. Those Texans would start calling 2 months out making certain I was bringing that pig.

Did the same thing probably 15 times in SE New Mexico. Almost all Texans. Those people would get me to smoke pig for all kinds of events. I’ve done the same thing on military bases all over the world and there’s always a bunch of Texans on a military base. Same results .....those BBQ crazed bastards couldn’t get enough. I would not dare offer my best pig commercially in GA, SC, NC or East Tennessee because it would not be nearly good enough to compete.....but in large groups of Texans it is immediately recognized as the real deal.....and it ain’t near good enough to compete with real pig.

Don't feel bad. My first couple were crap, then I nailed the last 6 or 7 I did and was feeling really good about myself until last weekend when I spent 16 hours smoking a big hunk of chili beef.

Brisket takes real skill to make. It a shitty shitty piece of meat unless it gets ~12 hours of love

What are you smoking it on? Temp? Foil or paper wrap? Select, choice, prime, or wagyu?

It's obvious now that he's not adept at smoking briskets.
