Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

Smoked some ribs for the first time. Its quite easy I have to say. Just gotta maintain that heat and invest the time. I only smoked two racks, but look forward to doing some more soon.

I ended up doing ribs again this weekend.

Instead of spare ribs I had bought "pork loin back" ribs which came out just as well only I smoked them a couple hours less than the spare ribs I did last time.

Baby backs are great. Much more tender then spares.

Charcoal vs. Gas
I use lump charcoal Royal Oak brand in the red bag. You have to be careful they sell Royal Oak brands from Paraguay and Argentina. Make sure you get the Made in USA bag where you can find it. For those looking for lump charcoal brands in your state of the country try www.nakedwhiz.com website for reviews of many different brands. I live in Michigan in the suburbs of Detroit and I can find it at wallmart ironically it is the made in USA brand the one sold at tractor supply chains is from Paraguay and is not recommended for the scraps of wood in the bag. The made in USA Royal Oak brand is highly recomended.

Smoke some pork loin back ribs and kielbasa yesterday. The ribs were fall of the bone and the sausage had great flavor after the smoke.

I tried my hand at smoking a couple chicken breasts last night. I seasoned them with a blend of ground cumin, salt, chili powder, and garlic powder. Put them on the grill and added a hunk of hickory to the charcoal. Smoked them for about 45-50 minutes.



They were delicious.

That's my tried and true method. No sauce needed. Wife and kids love it. Although last night I marinated them in Franks Hot Sauce, caldo de pollo, salt and pepper for about 4 hours than popped em on the grill (Indirect) for about 2 hours. Then tossed em in a bowl with a little butter and more Franks Hot Sauce.

Fall off the bone buffalo chicken. Huge success.

Looking like I will be doing some real cooking now

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

Does a firebox make that big of difference other than saving cooking area space?

I can get a sidebox for mine, but I've just doing it all inside the barrel.

Not really IMO. I have a side box I almost never use. If I am cooking an insane amount of meat for a party or something I'll use it. If I'm just cooking something for the family I mainly use the main chamber.

And depending on how the side box and grill are set up (Meaning no mods needed for perfect smoke flow) the barrel is the better way to go.

Any body up for a labor day grillin' throwdown? 20 bucks to the winner. Same as before, most likes wins. Any takers?

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

It depends what cuts of meat are on sale. I've been wanting to do pork BBQ all summer.

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

It looks like you could do hot dogs and win by default at this point.

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

I'm thinking of trying a different rub and sauce for ribs, do a couple chicken halves, or maybe some shrimp and crab legs.

Had to brag on my wife here. I grilled the pork chops, but she killed it with homemade fresh mashed potatoes and homemade biscuits, as well as fresh-picked sauteed okra. The potatoes were brought in this past weekend and the okra was picked this morning.

I'm down. Does it have to be the same type of meat? Or just whatever we're grilling?
