Hello all... My name is Brandon and I am very new to the BBQ world. I have always been good at grilling and cooking but I think I have found a new passion! I watched an episode of "BBQ Pitmasters" and saw what they were doing and making and I was hooked. The food looked so good, and the processes seemed to be a blast. I think the funnest part of cooking is seeing the looks on people's faces as they take the first bite of your product and you can see that they love it.
So... I ran out and bought a Texas style smoker from Lowes 3 weeks ago and have begun to BBQ. I have tried Brisket, pulled pork, and spare ribs. I messed up the brisket first time out because I went off of time rather than internal temp; it still tasted good, but was fairly tuff. I made a couple changes, got a good way to prepare the meat, and it's been freakin awesome ever since! I made ribs that were the best I had ever tasted... and others agreed that they were good. I got so excited I did the pork butt two days later. it came out better than the ribs. I am excited to keep experimenting and getting better. I am always up for new recipes, rubs, mops, wood, etc. so if you want to share, please feel free! I will even let you know how it turned out!
I hope to eventually get to a point where I can do a couple local competitions and see what it is like...
