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.
Well, I learned about my cooker today with the 10 Brisket cook.
1.) Bark formation does happen, but it takes longer. Sometimes, It's easier to put the ones where the bark is soft on the warmed up stickburner to get that bark finished off.
2.) I can't just leave the house if the briskets are all different sizes...I'll have to tend to them along the way more often.
3.) I can't wait to have at automatic pit temp control devices actually working! The one that some with it sort of works, and the CyberQ Wifi's 25 cfm fan is too small to get this big pit hot enough. I'm ordering a 2nd fan. Until then, I use the chinease one and have to hand adjust fan speed and use the ball valve.
4.) I've come up with more mods to tune the pit involving the charcoal chute and firebox insulation (more on that in a different post.
5.) I LOVE these 1855 Angus Upper-End Choice Briskets! There is so much "Wabble" in them. They definately cooked better than the Excel Texan Choice (which cost $1-1.50 less).
6.) Cooking great food is great for bringing people together and/or increasing their joy when they are together.
7.) Identifying when 10 different briskets are done, with varying sizes, in varying placements in a new cooker (where I'm not sure where the hotter/colder spots are) is not easy. We did it pretty well, but not perfect. A couple of them were overcooked (one wanted to fall apart when sliced, the other was over a hotter spot and the bottom got too dry and crispy on the end).
Let's take a walk through the slicing and serving together, shall we?
Here are the Americorp Young Leaders (blue t-shirts) leading tonight's kid camp awards banquet
Here is everyone having a great time enjoying the food!
The guy on the right is my bud Kedrick. He's a Corporal in the City Police, and he has built relationships with the kids and parents who are participating in this summer kids camp. That's when he was inspired to host the Banquet, getting the kids and parents together for a meal and the conclusion banquet for the camp. The guy in the middle is our Honerable Mayor, Randy Roach. I think he's a super health concious diet person, because he complemented me on the brisket by smell only...he hadn't eaten any yet. I'll love him anyway.
Here are the Americorp peeps, who got to eat when all the festivities were completed.
Eating...oh yeah, there was food involved.
Here are Sam and I playing Dueling Brisket Carving@ (I won, of course.)
The #BrisketSword is a Beast. It cut through this stuff like Buddah!!! The largest brisket was BIG, I'm guessing 18 pounds, and we had it on the smoke for 16 hours...Unwrapped! So, it got quite crispy and even the mighty BrisketSword struggled to get started through the hard edges. But, WOW, this thing works! The slight curve in the blade is so handy, and it just works. I don't know how to recommend it's performance more.
More slices. Aren't they pretty!
I mentioned it earlier, but these Upper-Choice Angus briskets were great. Lots of marbling which results in lots of Wabble. They cooked great and were tender tender.
Everyone ate, and, like Jesus said when there was extra food when he fed the 5,000 in John 6, "Let nothing be wasted." So, here is 2.5 briskets all sliced up.
The far left pan has a big wad of all the trimmings from the slicing of the big 10 Brisket cook. I have big plans for that stuff...I'll post a pic or 2 when I execute that plan.
So, big cook #1 of the new insulated cabinet is under the belt.
