***BBQ Redux Redux thread - All outdoor cooking except whole hog***

*brined, smoked and roasted

 

Just so much work for something that’s delicious with a slice of the knife

 

I’m vegan and needed to do something to justify posting in this thread. I had also never smoked anything before and had no idea how much work it would be. Still, it was delicious and I enjoyed people’s reaction to it- fucks with your mind a bit.

 

So wait
That was a like for the real serious post?

 

Which hand do you push up from the ground with?

 

Yes. Fr. On god. No cap.

 

legit thought it was one of those awful halloween pranks where the food is ass and kids desperately want to egg your house later

 

"sorry kids, we don't hand out Reese's here-- peanuts and dairy! but we do have... smoked... watermelon..."

just give me some AAA batteries and let me leave

 

We gave out full size bags of sour skittles. Suck it.

 

Yah no one wants to hear the truth that falling off the bone isn't actually good. So I've learned to just leave it alone.

 

agree with the 2nd sentence. That was the point of my post which was agreeing with an earlier post along same lines. Disagree with first sentence. I definitely would prefer ribs that aren’t falling off the bone.

 

Pulling off bone easily is good

Falling off the bone like where you pick up a bone and only get a bone, is fucking terrible

Slab Bbq opened a new location in Pasadena. Are these prices in line with Texas BBQ?

 

Yes

 

Yes

Have you always been vegan? For some reason I thought I remembered you posting meat stuff in the food thread

 

I thought those were illegal in California.

 

7 years.

I post in the pizza thread, I just leave out that the pizzas I’m eating are vegan

 

They are. The kids went nuts for them.

 

scandalous

 

Yes I am. Where has he been?

 

He married and actually grew up unlike the rest of us.

 

What a loser. Oh my god hahahahahha. IDIOT!

 

Concur, looks like chain restaurant brisket. Very solid for first shot.

 

Cooking just a flat is always a tough task.

 

Any recommendations on a good, solid smoker? I’m basically looking for the smoker equivalent of the Weber 22’ kettle grill- something well-designed, no frills and won’t break the bank.

 

Weber smokey mountain. Phenomenal smoker, very affordable and once you learn it very easy to use. billdozer chicken is done perfectly on one. Highly highly recommend.

Edit - but you're vegan so the chicken recommendation doesn't matter. Either way it's amazing.

 

This is a pretty standard unit for watermelon smoking:

 

Appreciate it.

 

Nah, too small. But thanks.

 

WillySaliba Copt?

 

Still here lurking. Just don't post nearly as much. I'll start posting again in the cooking thread.

 

He'll come back, we always do.

 

That’s nearly a definitive yes. If there was an onion or whole tomato on that grill, there would be no doubt.

Ahlan akhi.

 

Smokin these watermelons

 

just [robot] dudes being [robot] dudes

 

Pulling an all nighter

 

I’m concerned. Those do not look brined properly

 

What rub are you going with for those bad boys?

 

They’re ready when they probe like bags of sand.

 

I stand corrected. This is clearly someone with lots of experience

 

I started from the most recent post and worked backwards and oh my god the smoked watermelon thing wasn't some inside joke.

I need to make it ITT more often.

 

Alright, you all convinced me, I'm going to get the WSM.
Now has anyone tried the Weber igrill temperature probe system or have another brand you can't live without?
I probably only need a system with two probes max, won't be cooking more than that at once.
