BBQ Style
bluesman:
I thought it would be cool to have a thread about barbeque. Maybe your favorite recipe or a technique you use to produce finger lickin' good Q.
There's nothing better than good Brews, Blues and BBQ'S.
I smoked a beef briscuit and made a twice baked potato with a side of green beans.
Briscuit on the smoker getting real happy!
The happy meal is served! 8)
Wash it down with a good amber ale!
While listening to some Chicago Blues.

Blues, brews, and BBQs -- it's a way of life. 8) That brisket looks great, bluesman. I have a WSM too, although I haven't tried to smoke brisket yet. Do you have a suggested rub recipe?
So far, baby back ribs have been my most successful smoking meat. I like to do sort of a mexican-inspired rub with multiple varieties of dried, toasted, ground chiles (usually chipotle, chiles de arbol, ancho, guajillo, pasilla), cumin, cayenne, onion and garlic powder, salt, pepper, and mexican oregano. I like to slather the ribs with yellow mustard before applying the rub. I usually use a combination of smoke wood (white oak, cherry, apple). I start the ribs meat-side down on the cooking grate and flip them after the first hour. Then, I cook the ribs for a few hours more and take them off when they pass the tear test. I like to use a spicy Texas-style BBQ sauce to finish the ribs (but not too much -- the meat itself needs to stand out).
Here's a photo of my last rib smoke. I made some homemade fries and a spinach salad to go with the ribs.

don't want to drive the thread off topic, but do you guys like the WSM smoker (18" or 22"?). I have never smoked other than to use my Weber grill as a make-shift one, would it be easy enough for a newb?
bluesman:
aHHH yeah Matt.
The ribs look lip smackin' delicius.

blatz,
I have the 18" and it's incredibly user friendly. With a little guidance from www.virtualweberbullet.com, I made some killer baby backs the first time I fired it up. I had done some smoking on a Weber performer grill before, but the WSM took it to a different level.
