And the verdict is ? ? ?
ribs where a little salty but that could be from either the brine or the rub I threw on before smoking. but they disappeared and everybody was asking for the recipe. smoked them for 4 hours with Hickory and finished them off in the oven to crisp them up a bit under the broiler. ( didn't have space on the BBQ for them with the few side dishes people brought).

even the kids loved the ribs and brisket

Chicken is done. Pulled the pork loin and added some more seasoning, apple juice and bbq sauce to what was already in the dish and sent it back to the smoker u til the fries are done in the air fryer ( 30 ish minutes or so) should be a good supper

When did you get a barrel smoker? Do you like it? Seems like a PITA to me but have tasted some hella good food out of them..
This is a Brinkman Smoke 'n Grill. You can lift the entire cooking chamber off the fire pot. It's super easy to use and makes great food. I've had it for several years now, I use it for my "too big for a Weber but not worth feeding the Bandera" cooks.

I picked mine up at Princess Auto a few years ago and it has been decent. It was on sale for around 80.00. Not the greatest but for the price has been good. It will do thin sliced but not shaved sandwich meat.

Looking at picking up a meat slicer so I can do my own lunch meats, Im getting tired of doing it by hand. Any recommendations, things to look for, things to avoid?
The wife bought me a commercial grade slicer. It was about $500 CAD. But well worth the cost. Im able to slice 20 lbs of pork belly without needing to let the thing cool down

Which one do you have, I was already kinda leaning that way as they also handle cheese better? I've started down the dark path of research and determing features, which might end badly...

Hey, since Im looking at a commercial machine, completely automatic would be handy... well, needs 220V, guess Im gonna run a line to the kitchen for that... Since Im ripping everything apart to install that, might as well do new cupboards, maybe upgrade the appliances at the same time... $500k in plans later, wife says to stop, and I dont get the meat slicer :(

I made a mistake of having this thread open when my wife walked by and saw the burnt ends. She said "It's been a while, you need to make those again" so guess what I just put on the smoker? Wood this time is Maple, Apple and a bit of Cherry. I personally wanted to do ribs but "happy wife, happy life" made the final decision.
