It must have happened....here's the pics

Post by Puff » March 16th, 2015, 9:21 pm

No pics, never happened..so here are a few pictures of today's smoke. Used the gravity feed. Since it had been sitting on the garage floor for the last 10 weeks, the flatspotted tires refused to let the beast roll out of the garage. IVE GOT TO GET A SMALLER GRAVITY FEED!

Tried a new rub recipe that honestly was near flavorless. That part is annoying. There was 6 hours and near $50 worth of pork loin ribs that recovered only by the sauce I'd made. Not that the flavor of the smoked pork was tasteless, it's that they look so much more flavored than they were. These were 6 hours in the smoker at about 235. Used more charcoal than wood but co mingled some applewood into the firebox and a half split into the ash box.

Foiled them for two hours at the 3 hour mark with about 45 minutes, drying up with a sauce coating for the final time in. Since the freezer was filled I made a rack each for my two distant neighbors... One of them is one of them good ole Alabama boys who really is into smoking and Cajun cooking...who knew?...they both loved them regardless.

The reason I had changed was because of the other recipe getting boring...ain't that a kick ..boring? These were FALL OFF the bone tender... That's how we like em best. Neighbors liked that way too

Puff, they have that in every grocery store down here on the gulf coast. They make all kinds of seasonings from fish fry to seafood boil and from mild to hot. I haven't smoked anything with it but I have used it for general seasoning, it's pretty good for blackened fish. Your ribs looked great !

I've been using Bad Byron's Butt Rub as a general purpose blend.

Big T....When I asked my Alabama neighbor about this...he said " Southern secret the Yankees don't know about yet !" When the ribs come out of the cooker...I admit, they really looked tasty . These were really just bland. I was hoping to bite into the bark and really get a taste of goodness.

I am going to need to branch out to start trying commercial rubs. I can always go back to mine. Just always afraid of too much heat. Sometimes, I keep the cayenne pepper out....cut the black pepper in half and my mouth is still burning. I gotta be in the mood for hot. can't go hot every single time.

Puff, I use an all purpose rub called Back-Yard Southern Style as my wife doesn't like any spicy rubs at all. It actually says not salty or hot on the bottle and you can put it on pretty heavy. I also like Bad Byrons like Pete but it's a little on the spicy side.

I do not know where my post went... anyway. Slap Ya Mama is good stuff in my book. Their boil mix is really good w/ shrimp, crabs, mudbugs...etc. It has a kick!!!

A base rub I like for pork and chicken is "Grub Rub" by Gordon's. Too sweet for beef...IMO. Made in Katy, TX (outside of Houston). I just add garlic, cayenne or whatever I'm in the mood for. Some stores carry it but in small containers. We order it in gallon containers...

DC- no I did not cuss. I am not for sure what I did...I just realized what I typed did not post. I think I accidentally hit the back key... but I hit the fwd key and my post was still in the reply box but not submitted. I am sure it was my mistake... just odd. No harm no foul. I hope this makes sense...I am a little under the influence at the moment. These cajuns got me tonight...I am getting to old for shots and crown doubles on an empty stomach. LOL

Grub Rub is some good stuff!!!

Hey I may know what happened. I have seen it before, it is like you see a post you want to reply to so you begin typing. But before you submit your post someone else submits another post to that thread. So when you hit submit at the top of the page a single line of text comes across the screen asking if you still want to submit your post, because someone else already did? So if you don't answer that question before you leave that page your post won't be saved or posted. I recommend hitting the submit button then wait a couple seconds until you see a window PPP up and say your post has been successfully submitted. Then you got it done.

Could be that RC... It was going to be better than my explanation of drinking too much… Which I have never ever done before…

Yea, the tier racks help a lot

Thanks fellas

I've had the egg for going on 10 yrs. I had never heard of an egg. The wife went with me smoker/grill shopping. My old smoker had fallen apart. We went by Academy, Lowes, Home Depot and then by a store that always has some custom grills. This green egg shaped thing was purring by the front door with a pork loin on it. Long story short had one loaded 30-45mins later. I called my cousin. I asked had ever heard of a green egg. He had. I told him to buy some steaks and come help me unload it. My favorite cook on it is pizzas. Ceramic cookers will spoil ya!!!! I have smoked at 225 for 28-30hrs. Never raised the lid. Just let the digi Q do its thing

Dang I hijacked again...

Puff- I would let you hijack my Q any time...
