And, speaking of 15 briskets, I've gotten set up with a food wholesaler friend to get cases of meat. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a case of briskets: Choice IBP (Iowa Beef Processors), fresh, $3.26 a pound.

Wal Mart has had choice briskets for $2.99 recently, but sometimes all they have is select. So, I'm getting a place ready to wet-age the case and cook several a weekend as they get better with age!

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.

I'm thinking of buying the entry-level jambo so I can experience it's fun, and learn from it as I prepare to build a BIG stickburner #think1000GallonTank #LikeAaronFranklin

@Jerod_Broussard, that's the one.

OR, double the price and get the Economy full-sized one!

@Jon_Solberg, It was built at a local welding shop. It appears to be modeled to follow a Yoder Witicha, but has a vertical tuning plate that goes up and down, in 1 inch steps, between the firebox and the cooking chamber. It is 1/2 inch in the firebox, and 3/8 in the pit. I'm really enjoying it.

I am learning that smaller splits help me have a good, clean fire, but not too much heat. When I cooked on the big, borrowed 8 foot x 4 foot offset, I had a GREAT Fire, using regular size splits. It was Huge Fun! So, I bought a Maul and brought home a sliding miter box saw to cut/split my existing splits into smaller chunks.

Now, I'm jonesing to built a huge offset, out of a 1,000 gallon tank, channelling my inner Aaron Franklin. And, to build a brick pit.

What pit are you leaning toward, or waiting on arriving?

Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it’s easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted

Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It’s hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the 22″ Pro Cart a viable alternative.

Comprehensive Temperature Magnet With 80+ Important Temps

Winner of the National BBQ Association’s product of the year award. This 8.5″ x 11″ magnet contains more that 80 benchmark temperatures for meats (both USDA recommended temps as well as the temps chefs recommend), fats and oils, sugars, sous vide, eggs, collagens, wood combustion, breads, and more. Although it is not certified as all-weather, we have tested it outdoors in Chicago weather and it has not delaminated in three years, but there is minor fading.

GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared�Zone

GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily moved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

The Efficiency Of A Kamado Plus The Flexibility Of The Slow ‘N Sear Insert

kamado grill
Built around SnS Grill’s patented Slow ‘N Sear charcoal kettle accessory, this 22-inch kamado is a premium ceramic grill that brings true 2-zone cooking to a kamado.

Welcome!
