I use the Franklin method, 50/50 salt & pepper. Works well and everyone loves the results. Look it up.


Its the only way I go anymore... Dalmatian Rub! Best briskets of my life are salt, pepper and post oak.
 
My brother in law and me at Myron Mixon's BBQ class in Georgia. I'm hoping to learn something here.

That's pretty cool. Is he as big of a jerk in person like he is on tv? Or is that just the role he plays

Plan on cooking some ribs this afternoon

I got back home late last night. It was a great weekend and I did get some good information. Myron was personable, funny, and approachable all weekend. The man is certainly passionate about barbecue and takes it seriously.

The tv persona is definitely different from what I experienced. Overall a good weekend with a chance to prepare and eat some top-notch barbecue.
 
Moink balls, ready for the smoker.

8 are stuffed with cheddar and Monterey Jack. The other 4 are stuffed with bleu cheese and Frank's red hot buffalo sauce.


That's a damn good idea using buffalo sauce How'd they turn out? I made some last week my only complaint was they were a little dry.
 
I smoked half a Boston butt Saturday. We had pork tacos Saturday night, huevos rancheros Sunday morning, fajitas Sunday night, and made a big pot of green chile posole with the last of it last night.


You got a lot of use out of that!
 
Brisket went on at 1 this morning. The WSM with the IQ120 has been solid at 225 with the internal sitting at 176 right now. I plan on pulling from the pit at 190 to 195 depending on tenderness and wrapping in foil and resting for an hour or two in a heavy towel.
 
Cooked a 23 lb Beef Shoulder Clod starting Friday night at 5:30 to serve for dinner on Saturday. Took 23 hours to cook, probably could have pulled it off an hour or so earlier. I know you can cook these to medium rare and serve like prime rib but I wanted to pull the small end for sandwiches and slice the rest for a brisket type of service. Made an au jus to drizzle on the sandwiches, yummy!

Wrapped it once it seemed to have enough smoke.

Pardon the coleslaw, must have fallen off the sandwich.

View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1443393866.378360.jpg Turkey breast(s) from last weekend turned out really awesome. Smoked two at once and they didn't last very long! Brined for about 8 hours using the standard Thanksgiving recipe:

1/2 gallon water
1/4 c soy sauce
1 c apple juice
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c salt
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp each of tarragon, thyme, rosemary, black pepper
Indeterminate amount of juniper berries (just until it looks right)

Actually ended up using two sprigs of rosemary from the garden - about 1 ft in length each.
 
Can you explain this more? Looks great!

the first time I saw this monstrous mass of meatatarian deliciousness was at post #120 of this thread....you can add or take out anything you want, but the dang thing is amazing no matter what ya do with it.
(I still haven't figured out how to link an individual post, but you'll get there this way. :D)
