My competition bbq team (Me, wife, son and sister) competed in two local charity pulled pork events this weekend and last weekend. Thanks to everything I've learned from AR and through this forum, we got 2nd place overall last week, and 3rd this weekend! Along with over 125 lbs of succulent, sweet, hickory smoked pulled pork, I gave away a ton of Meathead's temperature guides which we're greatly appreciated! Thank you Meathead for what you do! You make the bbq world taste so much better!!

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!

Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...

I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.

Cooker('s) -
At Home I use my Home Made Offset; (pictured) formally a water tank with a fabricated firebox made from rolled 1/4 in steel into a 22 x 18" cylinder, mounted on a 1926 Chevy axle and diamond plate deck. It leaks a bit till it warms up and regulating the temp was a challenge at times, but practice makes perfect ... a labor of love indeed!

At the Camper (seasonal);
Weber Kettle w/SnS
Weber Smoky Mountain w/Cajun Bandit Door

Accessories -
Maverick ET733 dual thermometer
Weber Rapid Fire charcoal starter
Horse Blanket to cover the offset when the temps drop. Fits like a glove!

Fuel -
Apple, Cherry, Oak or Hickory started by Kings-ford Briquettes

Favorite Beverage -
Craft IPA's - Victory Hop Devil!! Stones Enjoy By, etc ...

Tunes -
Hard Core Blues, Southern Rock, 70's Rock.
