It used to be that a way in Ok for a long time, but with the rise of Texas style BBQ we see more an more white bread, especially the Texas toast slices.

A plate of BBQ should have all those items, plus slaw, beans, bread, and mac n cheese, imo.


You need at least 2 of the following 4 meats for it to be a legitimate BBQ:

Pork
Chicken
Sausage
Brisket

It should be mentioned that:

Pellet smokers = propane grills

True wood smoker = charcoal

If you're using a pellet smoker, you're doing it wrong.

If you crank up the heat. I've cooked pork butts at 225 straight through. I've cooked them at 325 straight through. Couldn't tell a difference. The key is consistency, not the temperature. I just see the hot and fast method as a pointless avoidance of hours of prime beer drinking time.


Agree. My sweet spot for pork but, and almost anything is 275. I try to keep my stick burner around that.

I do prefer low and slow, for the reason you mentioned and I love the smell, sound of a nice clean fire, but sometime you’re on a pinch and need to get that sucker done by dinner time. I finish it in the oven. Sue me

Lincoln Riley hosts a BBQ event each year and one year he made a hype video. To show the smoked meat, dude cracks open a ….. masterbuilt “smoker.” He got flack from OU fans and Texas fans.

Next year, they catered the food from a real BBQ place. Hahahaha

Sorry this is just wrong on every level.


Since we're getting down to brass tacks, I'm gonna say the following. But don't take it as a sign of weakness (because the whole point of these BBQ threads is to talk smack about a totally pointless, but at the same time a totally serious topic....)

You have to learn to separate banter from truth...

My main point here is having to wrap the meat, and I think it's consistent with my other statements in this thread. I get the point of it, but one you wrap any cut of meat, you are no longer BBQ'ing, your braising. That's fine, but everything you get from containing the the meat in a wrap (decreased cooking time), you lose in the texture of the cut. Yes, you pick up moisture, but what's the point if you lose the crispiness of the bark? Case in Point (Brisket pun), what's the most desirable cut from a brisket? Burnt ends...

And it is coming from a guy the 3,2,1's his ribs. Yes, I'm a hypocrite sometimes.

Oh I hear you. When 6 o'clock rolls around and you're still sitting at like 189 because the stall lasted forever, you start getting questions from the wife about when it'll be done, and the kids are whining about being hungry you just have to do what you have to do.

That's what the Mac-n-cheese is for.

There's a reason I get up at 1-2 am on cook days...

I get the brisket vs pulled pork debate. Both are delicious when done right. For me personally, I love brisket occasionally, but if I had to eat one of them every day, I'd go with the pork.

That being said, is there any debate that pork ribs are superior to beef ribs? In fact, pork ribs may well be the holy grail of BBQ IMO.

I like the white sauce on chicken. Try LillieQ white sauce if you haven’t. It’s very good

I use my pellet grill to make pizza, as I have the pizza attachment. Pretty stinking good.

pork butt you can finish easily within 7hrs max. Some even do 4
you have to get a pork butt up to 193 degrees for the connective tissue to turn to gelatin. Can't see that happening in 4 hours, because there are usually at least 4 hours of just evaporative cooling that happen at about 170, where it just hangs out at that temp. Smoking a normal sized pork butt at 225 usually takes me at least 12 hours

Riley is never going to live that awful brisket down. One of the few times I've seen the Texas and A&M fans come together to laugh at OU
