BBQ The thin blue smoke of tastyness

Awesome... Pass the rye bread!

 

We do a lot of BBQ in Oz but I am always in awe of the range and depth if the BBQ culture in the states.It is an area of cooking I would love to learn more about.Can you guys in the know point me in the direction of some good web sites?

Going on tonight 11 1/2 lb Butt

 

I need to eat this right now.

 

I'm not sure why, but I keep thinking about the thin red line...

 

I can't wait to break out the smoker!

 

Am hoping to fire up the smoker again on Saturday.
Will have to add some Pastrami, perhaps a yard bird or two and 4lb of wings :BBQ

 

Sweet dreams, see you in the morning.

 

Looking good Jim! I bought my son his own electric smoker for Christmas, he smoked this 7 pounder today. I couldn't get a pic of the shred, it went too fast. It was better than anything you can buy around here, I'm a proud papa!

 

I have a 7lb butt in the freezer I'm going to have to thaw this week and smoke it next weekend! :BBQ

 

I can only imagin what that feels like Jason.:cool1

Haha- you found the BBQ smiley. Sounds like a sensible plan.

 

I feel better about the future of America. :cool1

 

Good morning Beautiful!





8pm til 1030 am @ 235.

 

Later that day!

Well the thing was on already....



Salt and pepper ribs.

 

Drool.

Couple questions Jim. What kind of smoker do you have and what kind of probes do you use?

 

The smoker is a Baby Stumps Christopher and the probes are part of my digiQ controller unit.

 

Jim, Looks like even the string would be good.

 

Jim,
could you tell us about that cooker? Looks custom.

 

Does look chewey hah...

well not quite custom Mike it's made by the Stumps company and as it's named, is the baby of the line. Stumps makes lots of cookers but many share the same design elements. It's gravity fed insulated box cooker. The fire burns in a box fed from above and ash drops into a tray below, it can run for a long time without being tended. It's very stable and because it's insulated it uses very little fuel, and us Yankees can use it for more than 2 weeks in the year.
