Hello from Flower Mound Texas. Grew up in Michigan where my father was a Poultry professor. He started chicken barbecue fund raisers all over Michigan as a way to promote chicken consumption. 60 years later the Manchester Michigan Chicken Broil is still going strong serving over 14,000 chicken halfs in an afternoon. I can cook chicken!
However I have been in Texas for a long time and have learned to love smoked beef and pork. My results have been inconsistent with the beef brisket, and pork ribs. My pork shoulder usually gets rave reviews. So I am trying to get better. Read a lot of cookbooks, favorites to date Franklin Barbecue, Smoking by Myron Mixon and Amazing Ribs.
Tried a beef 7 rib roast for Christmas, reduced it to the eye, followed Meatheads recipe verbatim. It was great, cooked it inside and finished on the grill. It replaced our normal tenderloin and will become our new standard for the Holiday. It was so good that I felt guilty not becoming a member and paying for the recipe.
My equipment- A Gator brand (Houston, TX.) off set 60" smoker. A 15 year old Charcoal grill by Bar b Chef from Barbecues Galore. I have not seen this model in years but next to a Hasty Bake it is the best charcoal grill I ever found. Charcoal grates raise and lower with a crank. And finally a 6 gallon Cajon propane fryer.
