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.

My 1st Overnight with my New StickBurner! #IamStillAwakeAt230am

February 22, 2015, 03:01 AM

Ok, my friends, it's BBQ Time! One of our friends (the wife) is turning 40 tomorrow. So the husband called earlier this week and asked my so smoke up some meat for the party. Here's who I invited

1.) My new 22" EOS, Tex (modeled after a Yoder Witicha)
2.) A pair of 15 pound CAB Choice Brisket's! $3.28 a pound at Wal Mart - Thank you!!
3.) 4 Picnic Roasts. They were on sale fr $0.89!!! I'm sharing these with some of my employees - they hear me talk about BBQ enough, so I want them to enjoy some more often!
4.) 9 racks of St. Louis Cut ribs. I haven't cooked the Tyson brand much, and I see they are injected with a 7% brine solution. They look really good. I've also got some from my favorite packer, Hormel. So the side-by-side taste test will be useful for me tomorrow.
5.) Several cans of Abita Strawberry Lager for the late night. I'm a super-loyal kind of guy, and Abita is located right here in good-ole Louisiana, so it just makes sense.

I just LOVE BARK, so I've been seperating my points and flats. Here is what one of them looked like tonight.

Well, since I have #SmallPicsSyndrome, you are going to have to click the link to see a real picture!

Here they are at the start, 1:30 am:
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-8...o/IMG_0763.JPG

And here we are a few minutes ago, at 3 am. (Yes, I see now that the picture is a little fuzzy, but I'm not walking back outside for another hour!)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-zoEFvFDeFwE/VOmamua5-vI/AAAAAAAAXMo/aeTOiAQldGc/w1121-h841-no/IMG_0765.JPG

I just put another split on, and the smoker it holding steady at 225, so I'm setting my phone to wake me in 70 minutes, and my first night-o-stickburning will continue!

P.S. the Picnic's are looking nice on the WSM!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Qq-p6o9ydd4/VOntnFbs9JI/AAAAAAAAXNg/qJ6nTLNU6QA/w1121-h841-no/IMG_0766.JPG

and the 7 am good news, Bark is Here, on the point's anyway.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-K0FZmWzDBfQ/VOntukPrj9I/AAAAAAAAXNw/-63CvCa0_pk/w1121-h841-no/IMG_0767.JPG

I moved the flats to the top rack. When they get a nice bark, I'll wrap until 203 degrees and that budda feeling!

The pork picnic's are on the way as well, firmly planted in that stall

We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

Alright...It's almost time!!!

Here are the ribs, 5 hours in. I like 6 hours, myself. Tug off the bone, bark nice and dark.

Did someone say, Brisket? Here are one of the flats...man, I'm getting hungry!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LaQZ5PprqYc/VOplZp678KI/AAAAAAAAXO0/vyN5sys1m5w/w1121-h841-no/IMG_0772.JPG

Spinaker, here is the new offset! Notice the mountain of wood and the new wood rack in the background.
