Let's Talk Barbeque

I just got finished smoking a brisket and it turned out FANTASTIC! I cooked it "low and slow" for about 14 hours. I've been smoking meat for about 3 years and still consider myself a rookie. I've tried many different recipes and different types of wood and charcoal. I'm lovin it. I know that, in Texas, we have our way to cook brisket. How do yall do it in different parts of the country? What type of wood? How long do you smoke it at what temp? Let's hear it, BBQ Chefs! I'll post my recipe later in the thread if it takes.

I don't cook it, I just eat it. IMO, there's only three places to get good BBQ - Lufkin, Texas (Lufkin BBQ), Memphis Tennessee (Rondevous BBQ, downtown), and my good buddy Leon's house (in his back yard).

I have been smoking for about 5 years now and i have won 2 competition so far . For the most part i use a combination of woods; ribs ( 1 part hickory ,2 parts apple, and 1 part pecan) turkey ( 1 part apple, 2 parts hickory, 1 part grape vine) brisket ( 2 parts hickory, 2 parts pecan) etc.. Just started cold smoking fish and cheeses ,I'm still tring to get down the brine for the fish.

My specialty is beef ribs of the Flinstone sort. Salt, rub and brown sugar, let sit in fridge overnight to break down the meat, smoke at 200-250 until 1 inch of bone becomes exposed. Time depends on size of ribs. I use apple for the smoke. Dying to try brisket.

Now, I have never done it myself, but my father does rack of lamb in the smoker, and it may be the greatest thing ever. When my wife and I get a house, the smoker is one of our first purchases.

Gentlemen, I have decided to no longer read this post as I cannot afford the road trip to KC for some Q...

Man, I dont know what the deal is, but Ive screwed it up EVERY SINGLE TIME Ive ever tried smoking chicken!!! Whole chickens, breasts, leg quarters, doesnt seem to matter - no matter what I do, they always come out so rubbery you can LITERALLY bounce them like a basketball. LOL

Could be the brand of chicken. I only like Perdue for some reason.

I love smoking meats. My favorite is pork butts for pulled pork sandwhiches. I have an extra large Big Green Egg that is awesome!

Every true BBQ connoisseur knows that good BBQ abounds south of the MD line. We have good Q down here too. Been smoking savory meats for a few years myself.
