    Pork is the obvious answer here if you’re only doing one protein.

    Walked over to the neighborhood brewery and there was an African American dude with an offset smoker trailer. I was intrigued, and it was very good. I got brisket, Mac and cheese, and collard greens. Wife got pulled pork.

    Yes I asked for a little sauce, get over it.

    Any time I see a dude on the corner with a smoker I try to stop in to check it out. You can find some top tier bbq that way (also some trash)

    This dude partnered with the brewery so it wasn’t totally random per se but I will say that brisket was the definition of pull apart tender.

    I really do appreciate everyone's ideas and input, but I mean its gonna be hard to top devine's idea so I think I am going to go with that. I will make sure I keep everyone posted on how it goes.

    Getting adventurous with a brisket tonight, made a rub with achiote, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic and onion powder and a little bit of coriander and white pepper. Figured I’d try a change of pace to the standard 50-50 blend, will report back in 12’ish hours.

    To add, only because it wasn’t mentioned. PSB styled is kind of intriguing. Get a nice chuck and throw some anchos, negro and various other spices in there. I don’t have any specifics on what I would add but I’m going to give it a go soon.

    Turned out good, achiote adds an interesting dynamic to the exterior, would happily do this again.

    I've never had an issue with batteries, but I've had connection issues due to the sensor getting covered with smoke and I have to reallllly scrub them until they work again, which gets a little annoying. I only got it because the block isn't an eyesore on my counter.

    I order two at a time. They seem to last 6 months for me, give or take a few. Hate using firestarters or waiting for a new torch.

    1g water: 1C sugar: 1C salt (quart: 1/4C: 1/4C) mix thoroughly.

    I add crushed garlic, fresh & bruised (smash with flat part of knife) rosemary, black peppercorns

    The ignition switch. I currently just use a lighter to light mine now. Also I keep mine outside, I’m Sure that has some contribution to the reduced life.

    I am fortunate enough to have a garage frig for nothing but beer and big cooking projects. A 5 gallon bucket (restaurant quality of course) does the trick. I also have a couple rectangular restaurant food bins with lids that work.

    Degausser low key has a mansion so I am sure he has the frig space.

    Also, a cooler with a heavily salted ice water bath with whatever container you can fit a wet-brined turkey in slid down in the ice bath works just fine.

    Use a big ass cooler and keep it on my back deck. My brine has a ton of ice in it as well so never a concern plus it’s usually 30s at night. Currently slated for 21 degrees as the low next Wednesday (fuck me).

    My BIL bought a splitter a couple of years ago and it's the best investment he ever made, imo
