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.

Favorite Spatula / Tong Combo...from Walmart - Have you seen any like this?

September 18, 2017, 07:38 PM

Way back, and I mean in the first year or so I started smoking ribs, we said yes to some event, and ended up in Walmart late in the evening buying supplies. In the bbq section, I bought a couple pair of spatula / tongs combo, along with a bunch of other stuff. Stainless. And they are WONDERFUL! I used these exclusively on my WSM cooks, which were many. They can reach down into the racks and pull out your ribs without messing up that precious bark!

If I had only known they would be only sold at Walmart, and sometime later discoutinued, I would have driven about and purchased 20 pairs at any Walmart in 150 miles!

Here they are!

And some "in action" photos, my friends taking ribs off the WSM n such.

HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN THESE SOMEWHERE? #iWant20Pair

Robot or human?
