Natural wood charcoal was smothered to put it out in the manufavturing process, it often gets funky.
I will take hardwood anyday over charcoal. Cant count how many shitty green egg steaks i have eaten with a nasty aftertaste.

Smoking beef came around many years later, once Texas was settled, because of how much cattle livestock Texans had.
Texas had plentiful cattle, but at the end of the day, unlike a big steak, the brisket was an undesirable piece of meat. Similar to fajitas.

True bbq is making poor man's food into something great. BBQ came from taking the least desirable cuts of meat and making them amazing and actually superior to the better cuts through smoking and time.
IMO:
It's hard to screw up pork; It's easy to screw up a brisket. Said another way, Cooking good brisket is a lot harder than cooking good pork.
If your meat needs sauce, its not about the meat. Good sauce, like a spread of butter, sugar & cinnamon, will taste good on dirt.
Low and slow over a wood fire. Drinking beer around the oven doesn't cut it.
Texans & BBQ? Don't want mexican food every day. Llano, Taylor, Elgin, Lockhart, Luling and other small towns are all within an hour of Austin, and have had great BBQ since at least the 70's. Had catered Franklin's once. Too many other choices to wait in line all morning.

I appreciate these threads because I always learn something from them.

Getting into the discussion late, but if your BBQ needs sauce at all, you're doing it wrong, overcompensating.

Sorry you suck at cooking.
Yeah, I have 2 smokers and my pulled pork is good enough that you won't have to put those shitty sauces on it. I can tell a good BBQ place from a bad one just by the smell.
What's stupid about this topic is your whole "Brisket is not BBQ". Because you're a fricking idiot.

the whole point of these BBQ threads is to talk smack about a totally pointless, but at the same time a totally serious topic....
This thread is the perfect intersection of what I have dubbed The Vox Doctrine:
You will be able to convince a person to convert to a different religion before you get them to 1) Root for a different college football team & 2) change their mind on what constitutes good BBQ.
I'm born & reared in GA, but when it comes to BBQ, I'm spiritually a Texan.

I have both. I mostly use my pellet smoker for ribs when I don't have all day to tend my offset. For the most part, I let me wife do it.
But when I'm looking for maximum flavor and have the time, I'll be out there with my offset.
In short, the pellet smoker allows me to have smoked food more often. It does a pretty good job on the ribs.

Georgia sadly lacks much of a uniform BBQ culture. The best BBQ place in Atlanta, IMO at least, is operated by a couple of Texans.

I actually meant that part for the OP. But you replied to me saying the thread was stupid, because apparently that meant I couldn't cook.
The thread is stupid because brisket is BBQ and it's fricking delicious. I eat both as much as possible, although I personally only smoke pork.

Fox Bros BBQ?

Not completely true.
I've had some really good BBQ out near Oakland. Wish I could remember the name of it, a friend took me there.
But, yes it's very annoying when people called grilling BBQ. No, that's not BBQ, you are grilling.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what he was referencing.
There's only a handful of places around Atlanta I'll get brisket out:
Fox Bros
Four 41 South
Grand Champion
The Hickory Pit in East Ridge, TN, right over the GA line has AMAZING chopped beef shoulder clod that is unlike anything I've had this side of San Antonio.

Yep. Never had a bad meal there, although it's just such a pain in the arse to park and get a table. Especially this time of year when waiting outside is so horrible.
I'm also a big fan of Dave Poe's in Marietta, but that's not technically "Atlanta".

DBA in the Highlands is decent IMO
Fat Matt's is the biggest trash hole and I have no idea why outsiders think that their food is good

Sure is.. but damnit every time I find myself in Atlanta that is where I have lunch, headache or not parking. Haven't been there since my buddy and I stopped there on the road trip to Ole Miss in 2018.
