I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right. :-)
I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.
Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.
No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.
I've been in Alabama since 2010, and yesterday for the very first time, I found a whole brisket. All I can ever find around here is flat cut, and they usually run about $6-$7 per pound. Well, Costco had whole briskets yesterday (prime grade, too) for $2.99/pound. So I put it in the Pit Barrel this morning with some hickory and apple wood. [Reply]

What does "smoker on the pit barrel" mean?

Those are the two I got into a bit of evaluation paralysis on. I honestly don't think you can really go wrong with either one. I love this guy says "do both!" :-) [Reply]
This cook is frustrating me. The PBC usually cooks around 305-315. I just temped with an air probe and it's sitting at 260, which means it's obviously gonna take a lot longer than I'd planned. I just took one of the rebars out to bring up the temp. I can still take another out and even crack the lid if I need to, but this is the first time I've ever had a problem getting it to temp.

Smoking some ribs in my cheater electric, doing a Memphis-style dry rub this time with vinegar mop every hour and a half or so. Made them this way last time and it was a nice change over the the method I normally use. [Reply]
