Offishul YellowSnow's Record Shoppe BBQ/meat smoking thread
There will also be no discussion of ribs in a crockpot.
Anyway, lets discuss. Smokers, cuts, WOOD, spices, whatever.
It's a beautiful day in the DMV and the golf course is closed on Mondays so I'm going to call in to meetings while firing up the Weber Smoky Mountain for a whole chicken and a leg of lamb. Have never done a leg of lamb before (other than one time when a bunch of buddies and I did a whole lamb pit roasted, that was amazing) so will see what happens. Experimenting is fun. The internets indicate that the time it takes to get to medium rare are about the same about of time as a whole chicken, (3 hours). Going with hickory WOOD chunks today.

I grill therefore I am
You all go on with you fancy smokers and barbecue. It's good stuff
That's why I always knew where the best places to buy it are -
I've done some bone in, legs of lamb in the Weber kettle grill using indirect heat and a bit of hickory wood over the Kingsford.
The results were excellent.
My bitch face ex wife was half Greek, so I've seen those Hellenistic bros do an entire lamb on a spit. -
If I like my crockpot, can I keep it?

Pics or didn’t happen.whlinder said:There will be no discussion of cooking hamburgers on a grill here. That is not barbecue. Nor is it BBQ. That is grilling meat. If you are doing that because people are coming over to your house, that is a cookout. Cookouts and grilling meat on a direct flame are good, fun things, and we should do them, but they are not the same as putting a big ole slab of meat on a smoker for 10+ hours.

Is it a Miele brand crockpot @BennyBeaver ?BennyBeaver said:If I like my crockpot, can I keep it?

I smoke on my big green egg with a flame boss. Excellent results. Been smoking salmon lately as I finally got a good recipe I like. I found a great local place that has a vast selection of wood for cooking.

Standard XMas is taking a full prime rib roast and putting it out on the big egg for however long it takes
Long and slow off of direct heat is important
My Dad uses all kinds of wood but I tend to be more partial to apple than richer woods
Long and slow is the key to anything ...
Vegi's on the grill is a big time winner as well -

Can we get back to talking about grilling burgers?
-
Burgers on a Weber kettle, directly over charcoal with hickory wood. Can't be beat. Look for about a 300 degree temp to give the smoke a couple extra minutes.
Of course, season with coarse salt and pepper. -

I heart St. Patrick's day not just for the drinking but because Corned Beef Briskets are plentiful and cheap. Smoked pastrami is one of my favorites.

The Weber Kettle grill remains to single most versatile piece of outdoor cooking equipment ever invented. It can grill and it can BBQ. You can BBQ a pork shoulder or a brisket in one if you are very careful about controlling the amount of charcoal and airflow. -

Picked one of these up for indirect bbq. The water break helps to keep it humid and also helps to keep the temperature even. Highly recommend. https://www.amazon.com/Slow-Sear-Original-Charcoal-Grills/dp/B084ZWJ2J1/ref=asc_df_B084ZWJ2J1/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=416696576536&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=265508889368940712&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9060423&hvtargid=pla-891274866143&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=92049668097&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=416696576536&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=265508889368940712&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9060423&hvtargid=pla-891274866143 -
Well that's pretty slick. Might order that. For 20 years now I've just piled some charcoal on one side and put the meat on the other.Put a water pan in the middle. But this system looks easier to manage.BleachedAnusDawg said:

People also forget you can turn a Weber gas grill into a BBQ as well. Put the back burner on low and leave the other off. This is my system when I wanna cook ribs but I'm being lazy AF.

Furthermore, you gotta have a feel for time and oven temp to predict meat temps after a number of hours. You don't wanna be 5 hrs in on a slow roast and realize you're getting bad thermometer reads. -

It can smoke too. I have smoked many briskets and pork shoulders using a Weber. The key to smoking with a Weber is the snake technique for laying out the charcoal and wood chunks. It is pretty much a “set it and forget it” set up. -
You didn’t “smoke” those meats though. Rather you “barbecued” them. BBQ involves smoke but there’s a difference.Purple_Pills said:YellowSnow said:

Those differences are really on the edges and getting lost on me. I get that if you don't have wood involved to produce smoke and you're low and slow then that's barbecuing, but where that line is crossed when you've got a piece of wood giving off smoke as it slowly burns seems very hard to define. -

You're right ultimately it's on me for not just taking full charge ...
I lost track of time a bit taking a little cat nap between cooking/prep sessions. When I got the original temp reading being as low as it was I took the reading as the fire wasn't going or was out (remember the temps outside were terrible) ... I think she even said as much.
Of course, when you switch the thermometer from F to C ... you're fucked -
People forget @BleachedAnusDawg the Weber kettle excels at wings. Low indirect heat BBQ for like 90 mins and then baste on the Frank's a few times. Tough to beat.
