No one does brisket better than Texas.

Pork is best from western NC.

I’ll give you the Texas brisket. But if a BBQ joint doesn’t carry Brunswick Stew, it ain’t worth half a shite.

Red Oak is good stuff for the cost.

I’ve had two Chargrillers with gas on one side and charcoal on the other and they’ve been great. Sear steaks with charcoal or whip up burgers over gas. It’s ugly as shite but very functional.

I smoked about 30 pounds Sunday....that stuff ought to be illegal!!! It is EASY to do and eats like no ones business!!! I don't use ANY soy or ginger...in fact, the only seasoning I use, after brining and rinsing well, is Alder smoke.....and it is like eating butter after about 2 -1/2 hours at 160 degrees. Slice it thin, a fresh bagel, cream cheese and thin Vidalia onion....man its good! Also very good chunked in a salad, used like tuna to make tuna salad or right by itself with some grilled asparagus and a Sauvignon Blanc....it doesn't get much better

Stripers and hybrids work well also....but the best, by far, hands down, in my opinion, are Cero Mackerals...not Spanish (also good), not kings and not wahoo...all good smoked....but a 4-8 pound cero at 160 degrees for 2 - 2 1/2 hours is beyond good!

Doing a full Texas brisket overnight tomorrow, and two racks of baby back ribs w/ homemade dry rub named after our very own Herschel Walker.

Interesting we have found a topic that brings out the passion and "side taking" as much as SEC football.

I've always said, you'll change someone's mind about who they pray to and/or where they'll spend eternity before you make them rethink their CFB team or what constitutes good BBQ.

Throw all that nasty shite in the crab trap and have a crab boil.

And I can't go along with this with the 'hoo.....the 'hoo is about as good eating as it gets.....

And there's the bullshite.

Cobb...you and I are in the same camp on this one. Good stew is the differentiator.

Sorry if this has already been said.

Costco sell the Kamado Joe's at a discounted price. You can look up the locations and dates. Its a traveling sell and it moves from store to store. You will save a few hundred dollars. I think it was right at $800 for the classic.

The Kamado is just as good if not better than the green egg. It's the same basic design yet it has better options and is cheaper. The new rain proof top is nice. I have 3 smokers. Two I built and I use the Kamado the most.
