Quote from: dickfoster on May 19, 2021, 11:24:00 AMThat's a gas grill. That's the trouble with yankees and California types they just don't know nuthin about barbeque. It don't matter how much money you spend on gear, real barbeque was smoked and cooked up in a hole in the ground. That's why they're still called pits today even if it's nothing like a pit. Ya really do need some kinda wood smoke to barbeque proper.
Tell ya what go down south or take a look around in Texas and see how many barbeque places you see cooking with gas or electricity. What you'll see are piles of wood around all the good BBQ joints.

Solar has the real grill - the Weber is mine.

Yeah, we smoke meat, but to be honest, I'm not really all that much into food. For me, it's all about fuel, not flavor.
It's just not that big of a deal in my life, because eating takes up so much time in my life.
All my life, since my teens, I had to eat huge meals every hour and forty five minutes, so flavor was totally unimportant.
I spent 50 years as an athlete, 5'10" 200 lbs solid muscle, 9% body fat, it's just who I am.

Yes, I have, and sure, it's delicious, but again, that's just not who I am.

Not a thing wrong with Tacos.  I BTW, love pulled pork tacos.  Also, Fish Tacos.

But, I couldn't live without my Smokers.  There is nothing better than NC vinegar based BBQ.  Oh, and the Red Slaw!! 
I can cook all BBQ varieties.  Memphis, Kansas City, Texas, Georgia, and NC.  I can also do Alabama white BBQ, and some Kentucky Que.  I don't do Mutton, but I love Lamb.
My next endeavor is Whole Hog.

It is interesting how BBQ is different from different parts of the South. Growing up in GA I thought BBQ was sliced smoked pork shoulder served on lightly toasted white bread with a tangy sauce.

And I grew up thinking BBQ was a Conservative plot to make everyone unhealthy. Sorry, my California roots, talking.
But, having traveled in my youth, I have developed a love for all things BBQ.  In fact, Ms. Tiny is famous for saying, "Everything doesn't need Smoke, Genius."
I used to think I'd do good if I'd compete, but have decided I like Judging better.
I love Ribs.  Pork, beef, lamb, etc.  I have the 2 time world Champ Rib Cooker's championship recipe.  Delicious.
In Kansas City, it is all about the sauce.
In Texas, it is all about the Beef.
In NC it is all about Pork and vinegar.
In Memphis, it is all about Ribs.
Florida likes it sweet.
Alabama likes it White.

I like it anyway I can get it.  A little Food Porn for ya'

Good barbeque don't need no stinkin sauce. However I do make up a vinegar-pepper based finishing sauce for tge table like they do in Carolina.

Taking about BBQ......I just got back from Kroger and they had brisket on sale for 3.99 lb. I brought a whole brisket and will be smoking it on my Pit Boss D3 wood pellet grill this weekend. Can't wait.

As far as Ribs are concern....It's Tennessee (Memphis) Ribs hands down for me. Like someone mentioned above....it's all about the Ribs. Oh by the way and IMO... Ribs should always be capitalized.........

Happy BBQing

Quote from: Solars Toy on May 18, 2021, 06:18:37 PMActually I love to cook and bake.  It is the planning that frustrates me. Tell me what you want and I am good to go.  I do like ribs but prefer the boneless pork ones.

We splurged a few years ago and bought the "Cadillac" of the Weber line.  Built in smoker, rotisserie, infrared something, and a side burner.  I do love this thing.

Boneless Pork Ribs, huh?  I think you are referring to the "Country Style Ribs" from the shoulder.  Every Butt Portion Shoulder has a Blade bone on one end, and is boneless on the other.  Many people don't need to cook a 10-12 lb Pork roast, so many butchers portion it out in rib-like portions.  Grill 'em, Bake 'em or make 'em in a Crock Pot.  Delicious.
In Pork, there are but two types of ribs.  Back ribs, and whole spares.  I seldom buy back ribs, as they are small, and can be easily overcooked.  Spares have more meat, more marbling and cook much slower for max tenderness.
And, I have friends who have pellet smokers.  They do not get as good result as I do with a stick burner.  Your weber can work just fine. If you need more smoke, Home Depot or Lowes carries Smoke Boxes.  Load 'em with wet wood, and put it in the fire.  If I can help, let me know.  I know ALL the tricks.

It has a smoker section as well. We use wet manzanita and madrone, or whatever else is sitting on the ground.
It's all guuuud.
