    What to cook, last minute?

    So you get up on a beautiful day, have your first cup of coffee and think, you want some BBQ today! You didn’t plan for it, so pork butt and brisket are out of the question. Could do ribs.... but what else? I figure no more than about 6 hrs on the smoker.

    Pulled beef (chuck roast) is one of my favorites. 6 hour cook usually at 250*

      Good idea, a small one? Seems I’ve taken longer, but they were v big.

      Probably have to foil it if you want to get it done in six hours

    I don’t remember the size, but I’ve always wrapped and added broth. I believe they’ve gotten done in that time. You could always increase the temp to 300 especially after it’s wrapped.

      Beef ribs, either back or chuck. Crutch them. Other options are smoked chicken, or salmon. All kinds of appetizers (moink balls, different pepper recipes, wings, excetra) Don't forget country style ribs (actually a chop). Grilled lamb lollipops are always a winner. Roast beef. Chipotle and smoked egg salad.

        @Sierra BBQGuy Smoked, braised, then grilled! Smoke them for a bet to get the smoke penetration, braise them to break them down into super tender hot meat popsickles, then grill them at the end to get a touch of char and a bit of caramelization!

      I see a lot of the guys on TV, doing much higher temps in competition. Myron Mixon said he is doing 325°. Maybe a small pork shoulder, at 300 would work?

        I’ve also seen a guy do a butt at 350 in 4 hours and the bone fell out with ease.

            Never smoked a meatloaf, it’s on my list to do. I recall Alton Brown doing a show on that!

            Malcom Reed has a great recipe that I used as a base to build mine off of.

          Flanken ribs!!! Just made them for the first time last week. Unbelievably good. Easy. Just need time to marinate.

            I agree with sausage!! wrap an onion in foil with evoo butter salt and pepper(cut the onion in half) let it cook at least an hour.I'll also throw garlic in there too.

          Pork loin makes a quick fix...

            Man, I wish I could find good pork loin around here, the grocery store stuff is so lean, it just has no flavor. If I could only make it taste like shoulder..

            SierraBBQGuy it is a lean cut in fact parts of it are leaner than chicken breast. You can inject it if you like and put your favorite BBQ rub on it. I smoke them whole and occasionally will sauce them at the end. Then I just slice thick slices and toss them on a cheap bun with a little bbq sauce and it makes a good sammie...

            Pork loin is best cooked hot and fast.IMO

            Too late for today, but smoked stuffed peppers are great.

              A nice brined and smoked turkey breast with sides always goes well around here. Smoked tri tip or flank steak and then reversed seared that end up as fajitas are always good. Smoked and seared pork steaks. All of these can be done in a couple hours or less. Turkey breast would take the longest.

                Ham is always a good choice since all you are doing is reheating and adding smoking.

                Turkey legs (or thighs) are a fun change of pace. Or you could just do a whole breast.

                Pork Loin is one of my favorite things to smoke... around 3 hour cook.

                DW mentioned meatloaf and that is a definite winner.

                Obviously chicken.

                Don't forget pork Steak!

                BBQ pork chops are a hit...

                Pork Tenderloin is great as well... more hot and fast but put a rub on it and then sauce it towards the end.... yum or cut medallions, wrap in bacon rub the flat sides and then sauce at the end....
