I've got a guy from DELEWARE, or someother place like that telling ME about BBQ. I'm a REDNECK. Rednecks didn't invent much other than "hold my beer and watch this", AND BBQ!

This is all you really need to know about BBQ ( fir all you folks from Coney Island and places like that).

Like they say in Macon, "Bring it on, Donkey Kong!". You bring the meat, I'll provide the lodging, good company, adult beverages and YOUR CHOICE of hardwoods de-barked and dried to YOUR SPECIFICATIONS. Big Green Egg or the pull-behind smoker. I don't care who wins or loses, LET'S EAT SOME BBQ!

I'll still put MY sauce on MINE, but i'll be polite and taste yours.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

If we get tired of eatin', we might even make some pens! I've been wanting to meet you, anyway.

Hey Dan, I'm really serious here! And , if you do decide to come, give me a little advanced notice and I'll send "lobster money". I've got a friend not too far from you. When we head that way, we have to take some of our special pecan and apple BBQ wood. When he comes this way, his "carry on" is lobster.
 
Well heck I may have to find time to do a road trip some day...right now as you know things are crazy. But ya never know with me. It is a Big Green Egg BTW, best grill I ever owned!

It's OK for CASUAL BBQ:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:! Just kidding! BGE, it my BBQ of choice, for less than 20 people!

Not kidding about the invite, as long as you are NOT on the way to a show at Augusta National, John's Creek, Buckhead, or Chastain Park. We'd love to have y'all.
 
Another happy Big Green Egg owner. Added a BBQ Guru temp controller and I'm in hog heaven. I love doing pulled pork on the BGE. BBQ Guru holds the temp within a couple of degrees of what you set. I let the pork butt smoke overnight.

We cook at 190 degrees until its done, or the weekend is over. We don't use the Guru (although it is a FABULOUS device). We have a wireless temp gauge from Brookstone. It is as precise at the GURU and it has a belt holster that allows you to go to the dock to swim, play, and when the food is ready it tells your. And besides, the Brookstone device (I call her "Barbie") has a really sexy voice:biggrin::biggrin:.

Would that be mud bugs of which you speak? If so, I've got an "almost local" source...a cousin in Slidell, LA. Come on!

I'm talking about the big bugs they grow up north...my family is from the Rockland area and has had lobstermen for generations. those little ones are pretty good too!

Fire up the Q...I make a pretty good brisket rub...keep you happy for a weekend!
 
Is this considered BBQ? I know it would be good for a road trip!

Some nice moose brats, andouille or Italian sausage makes a nice lunch for those who are a bit squeamish about eating raw meat and fish.

Dang, I got to go to Alaska...........during the summer months

Winter is the best time to visit for food. Lots of amazing cooks and no daylight makes for some stunningly well done dinner parties. Plus all the fish and meat is fresh from summer/fall harvesting.


You have not lived till you have had fresh moose short ribs slow smoked over a fire for hours! Or backstrap stuffed with wild mushrooms in a dutch oven with taters and onions.......
 
man you all are getting me hungry. I go to sleep and wake up to a BBQ war!!

My personal favorite is a special rub my dad concocted with a sauce that is a killer. Because I don't do the pork (blame the religion if you want, I do:rolleyes:) so I pick out a nice beef brisket (guess that makes me a texan?) that is to be s l o w smoked over Jack Daniels wood chips. Typically it is around 150ish for about 18 hours.

We need to have us a IAP BBQ! But where? Can't really do an online BBQ. Where would be convenient to everywhere in the world?

Well we can kinda do an online BBQ, but we will all need food savers so we can package the goods:biggrin: But I like your idea, entry fee will be food, drink, and a pen for a IRL PITH :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
 
BBQ and pen making, my two favorite hobbies. I cook true redneck style but one of these days I am going to upgrade my smoker and put a temperature gauge on it instead of just putting my hand on it to check the temperature.
 
Don't do it, Don! Many a good smoker has been ruined with "fancy innovations" like thermometers.

Checking the heat with you hand is still the best way. Your hand knows the exact point where it is no longer the cook, but part of lunch.
 
No other...

There IS no other place like that.......
 
Here's our "Black Egg"

Dan:
Here is our little smoker. Even though the Big Green Egg is made here, they are still a bit pricey. Me and a couple of friends made our own smoker from scraps rather than spend Big Green Egg money.

A real "Good Ole Boy" will recognize the materials. Let's just say one neighbor may get a little "chilly" this winter and another will be leaving his boat in the water this year.

The barbells are not for "show" - they are necessary to open the cast iron smoker doors. You'll notice two smoke stacks. This allows us to use either "push, pull or push-pull" smoking technique.

We are working on a big cooker next.

My preferred smoking machine is a Brinkman's smoker for the hill country down Texas way... had to decide between the smoker and the lathe when I moved to TN.:frown:.. couldn't get both on the truck.:eek:.. now think I shudda stuck with the smoker... cudda bought a new lathe - did buy a new lathe once I got up here.:biggrin:
 
That is one heck of a cooker you got there Andy. I was trying to see if I had any pics of my egg, but nope. Guess I will have to try later this weekend when the rain is said to finally stop. Mind you I BBQ in the rain and snow, but it makes a bad pic.

BTW I found out the BGE has the home office in GA, the ceramics are made in Mexico:frown:
 
Yep, still assembled here. At one point they were made with same materials as Georgia Clay Brick. We have a REALLY old one. It is red, as the green top coat left a few decades ago. I think ours is still made from clay brick.
 
Smoking is such an "all weather" ritual here that our neighbor just finished building an arbor over his egg. We still got plans, if you need them.
 
an arbor...pah pansies. :rolleyes: All I have is a table built from old pallets. When it snows, just shovel on the deck to the egg, when it rains...well I get a little wet that's all:biggrin::rolleyes:

Best store bought grill I could find. Lillian wants something cooked quick and it gets the gas, if she wants it done right it gets the smoke.
