What's the true "king" of smoked meats?

[randy56]

Pork, all of it, then steaks but cannot categorize as smoked

[lemayp]

Pork for me

[DavidNorcross]

Pork first, chicken second, beef third. That is our house at least.

[klflowers]

More beef than anything I guess if you include straight up grilling. Followed by poultry, close second. Ribs close third. Butts are pretty big so I do them seldom because I freeze so much even when I give a lot away.

[bbqLuv]

Dead, pig, beef, chicken, lamb. Tuna

I draw the line at road kill,
No no no, please I don't eat it no more, almost get hit by a car,

[ecowper]

Hmmmmm, interesting. Hadn’t thought about it that way ….. I’d say on any given weeknight, the odds are good that it’s chicken or pork going on. Either a whole chicken or pork chops, very likely. Followed closely by salmon. Weekends, however, are all about beef - chuck roast, brisket, steak ….. OR a pork butt or ribs. So, weekends probably split 50/50 between beef and pork and weeknights get a 3 way tie between chicken, pork, and salmon.

For me the smoker and grill will have pork, loin and chops the most, pork ribs and butt when I have the time. If my much better half has plans for the grilling it's salmon.

In earlier years it was definitely pork shoulder. These days brisket is nearly as common as butt or ribs.

Growing up in the south, pork is king. However, more folks are embracing brisket. For me personally, I still like pork with beef a close second. For health reasons, I’ve been trying different chicken dishes. Hard to beat smoked chicken in all varieties.

[Mr. Bones]

Pork, Beef, Bison, Chicken, here...

(Loves me some Chicken, probly should cook more...)

[Mr. Bones]

Kev, I do use mostly ground Bison, especially as an additional flavour component in such dishes as Chili, or stews...

Reckon I might oughtta try usin more whole cuts...Bison's really lean, lends itself best to braisin, vs. smokin..; mayhaps, when I retire, here, hopefully shortly, I'll have th time to babysit some though a proper smoke bath, an be more qualified to give a proper answer, Amigo!

Much Love to yerself, an Th Bean Grinch LOL!

[ecowper]

Mr. Bones there’s no better steak, in my book, than a bison ribeye grilled over a wood fire.

[mrteddyprincess]

Mr. Bones Sign in your backyard: "We don't call animal control for trespassing bison."

[Draznnl]

On the smoker, I'd say it's beef, pork, turkey with beef and pork very close. If we include the grill also, its beef by a mile, fish and seafood, chicken, pork.

[Rod]

Chicken, pork and then beef.

[Andrrr]

If I didn’t have a family to keep happy it would be beef, but alas it is pork

[Grillin Dad]

Actually, I probably smoke more turkey than anything else, with pork being a fairly close second. I’ve got the rotisserie attachment on my kettle, and the kiddos love it. I always stock up during the Thanksgiving sales, for about $0.50/pound, and freeze them until summer. About the cheapest way to feed a family of 6+ (in-laws have been known to spontaneously show up if they smell smoke).

[texastweeter]

Beef. Between brisket, beef ribs, Chuck, rib roasts, beef jerky, and beef sausage it's a lot. Second would probably be pork, then chicken, then fish.
