smoking Blues, Booze & BBQ

[pileiton]

Its that time again. I was gonna' break out he smoker yesterday but alas, it rained hard all day. S'kay as we needed the h2o in a big way. Next week I'm droppin' the hammer rain or shine. I'll leave it teh y'all to choose what I do for the smoke...

Options are:

1. Brisket

2. Pork Shoulder

3. Beef ribs

4. Babybacks

5. Smoked PuPu's...poppers, moinks & bloomin' onion

What's it gonna be y'all?

Can I say 6, All of the Above?

 

[texas blues]

Pile, you honor me. Got 3 votes for the brisky but I'm leanin' towards the pupu's. Maybe some rib tips.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Beef or baby back? Why no spare ribs? Them's better!

 

[texas blues]

I'm torn on the ribs THP. Love babybacks but this is Texas after all. Don't wanna' get lynched by the neighbors for not doing beef. Don't reckon I can make an honest decision without cracking more than a few hoskies before hand.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Fine, fine.... beef AND pork. BBLTs.

Smoked brisket and crisp bacon (criss-crossed), ripe tomatoes, lettuce, tomato, pickled jalapenos... on white bread, mayo on top slice, BBQ sauce on bottom slice. It da bomb trus may.

 

[texas blues]

I believe you speak the truth THP. That sammich would be the bomb!

3. Beef ribs

I aint never done 'em to where I could say I likes 'em just a wee bit to greezy I dunno I'd like to see how other folk do'em

No piggy, no lovin!

Actually I do like beef ribs occasionally, but they're low on my "to-do" list of BBQ meats.

I loves me some spares LDHS and have gotten pretty durn guuud at it but beef ribs make me their bitch everytime.

I am SO overdue on brisket I cant wait till it warms up a bit !

But I definitly wanna hit a Tri-Tip like Chris Brown

mrs. blues birfday on Sunday. She's not liking to be liking any 'que. Any other woman and I might have to killer her. Anywhooo, I just can't eat a big Fred Flinstone side of beef ribs or even a whole brisket flat. Last time I did a big brisky it turned out great and vac packed the leftovers. To say the least they were and crumbly after thawing out. Plah. Went out today and found some white boy beef rib tips, aka flanken style ribs which are used in kalbi style ribs. Gonna' do some heavy pettin' on 'em later tonight with some rub-a-dub for the Blues Smoker manana. Maybe a smoked bloomin' onion with queso too!

Here's some blues for the moment as it appropos at this time...

The fantastic and incredible Junior Kimbrough. Dig that groove. This is my kinda' bbq joint!

Hey y'all. Gettin' down brown once again. Got me some beef flanken ribs (think Korean kalbi style).
I rubbed 'em up last night with just a little seasalt, fresh cracked black pepper and just a little brown sugar. Simple.

Fired up Ugly Black Betty (UDS) out on The Blues Back Porch. I'm using some Kingsford I got for free from TBMOM, so got to get rid of it, and some hickory wood chunks.

Feel free to enjoy this vid of Lightnin' Malcolm and Cedric Burnside aka The Juke Joint Duo while perusing this post. Ain't nuthin' and I mean NUTHIN' that sounds quite as sexy as a p90 goldtop into a tweed amp, even with a distorted recording.

Flanken ribbage...

Always nice to have a little Hornito's and pineapple/orange juice chillin' on ice....

Sex in a barrel!

Gottem' on a little high...270F to start. Let it go for 20 minutes and then cranked it down and battened down the hatches to about 240F.

More to come y'all....
