Not much recipe here.... :D

Pork gets the Music City rub from Pepper Palace.

Beef gets salt and pepper.

I generally use apple wood chunks with charcoal for my heat since I don't have a good supply of stick wood. Brisket gets cooked over oak though.

I do want to try some sauced ribs hot n fast style with my new Vortex on my Weber. Gonna be next weekend before I have a chance though.

There's something about the recipe I have to be careful with because of my blood pressure. I think it's the Prague salt (nitrates?) if I remember correctly.

I was looking into it and the kids went 100% virtual and my spare time during the week disappeared....

“ A small amount of pink salt in your cure provides that familiar pink color and bacon-y flavor, or what we have come to know as bacon-y. It is absolutely possible to cure bacon without nitrates; but be aware that the end product will be more the color of cooked pork and that the flavor will be akin to that of a pork roast. With or without the pink salt, homemade bacon is worth the effort.“

got that from here

New York strips with pepper plant rub and a “Kansas City rub” on New Years. Was pretty tasty, even despite being over cooked due to my wife and brother in laws’ tastes. Not 100% in line with a ‘Meat smoking’ thread, but I think still relevant?

I did some ribs on the Weber last night with my Vortex. They turned out pretty good. I've got to do it some more to get it figured out exactly. The meat pulled clean of the bone but was a little tougher than I normally like.

I also didn't have any BBQ sauce to glaze them with once they were ready but they still turned out good.

Next to try some chicken wings on it. You're supposed to be able to replicate the deep fried style crispy skin so that'll give us a healthier option for those.

I should take the chain saw, buzz some Cherry slices real Thin, and split into chunks. To give a flavor smoke. I run Canola oil for Bar oil, so the wood would be safe. ;-)
but too much work. Cheaper to by Pellets in the 20 pound bag that last me long time.

I've been cooking for a lot of years and this is best BBQ site I've ever seen from a seasoned pro. It's kind of cluttered but the amount of free information is astounding. I like it so much I ripped the entire website so I have it offline if I ever need it.

Been running the big smoker all morning. Found some pork shoulders on sale and grabbed a big chuck roast as well.

Tossed some chuck-brisket burgers on as well to have for lunch. Some Duke's mayo, bread and butter pickles and some shredded pepper jack made for a tasty snack!

What do you do with all the meat? Freeze it? Share with family? That burger is making me freaking hungry I haven't eaten... on a fast day.

On a smoke like this most of it will get frozen in 1lb packs for quick meals later. But I doubt the chuck makes it that far. My youngest is a brisket fiend and she's already foaming at the mouth for it.
