Real BBQ doesn't require sauce.


I would say the best doesn't, but yes.

Brisket trumps every other meat.


Beef rib is the only thing that compares.

Anyone can make a good pulled pork.


Boston butt is the easiest thing to smoke.

I have yet to perfect my brisket.


Does anyone really ever perfect it? I am in the same boat. I can make good brisket, but I usually fail in the effort it takes to get it just right. That and if you want to use the best (prime, local) it is super expensive.

For the guys that were having an issue with the chicken and not being able to get a firm skin, what is your temp set at? I've gotten very good with chicken (as my wife doesn't eat brisket) and may have a few tips or tricks to help!



Depends on if I do it by itself or with something else. 275ish. The bird turns out great, but the skin isn't. Have you tried Spatchcocked? Turns out great and cooks evenly.

I have not tried spatchcocked. For the crispy skin, my best results have been from doing low and slow for 3 hr 45 minutes with heat between 225 and 250 and then bump the heat up to 375 for the last 10-15 minutes. For stubborn birds, I have even applied direct heat for 5 minutes to get the skin nice and crisp.
