I saw this and thought it was pretty ingenious.

I'll be making the Best BBQ on saturday during the draft. Stellas and smoking on draft day-- making a brisket with smoked hot dogs to keep me going while it cooks.

i threw on tenderloin for the first time for a christmas cook

was a little nervous as I was cooking for the inlaws and bought the untrimmed pack from costco (about $80 worth of meat)

trimmed it and tied it

then I used TVWB (great website) recipe of salt, oil and pepper

smoked it at about 230-235 on the grate for around an hour - got the meat anywhere from 127-140 degrees

seared to finish over direct coals

used 2 small pieces of alder and 1 small piece of cherry

turned out fan-freaking-tastic ...... just enough smoke to really set in, no knife was necessary when eating and the meat has a decent amount of flavor for tenderloin

one mod I would do in the future is to rub with butter and re-apply salt and pepper before the final seer

Pork or beef tenderloin?

beef

they are trying their hand at BBQ chicken for dinner tonight while I'm at work - i've walked them through the process so now all I can do is hope for the best

Some BBQ tricks I've learned:

- Charcoal and chips, not gas

- Need a hot side and a "smoke" side

- Whole or half chickens, not pieces

- Sear the meat at first then move to cooler smoke side for slow smoke

- Keep your chips in an empty can (small paint can ideal) filled with beer for at least a day. Don't know why but this definitely helps the smoke and the embers seem to savor more

- If you only have a smoker and not a full grill, nothing wrong with searing the meat in a pan before grilling

- Gas grills tend to get too hot and cook meat too fast

Have you ever seen a wood pellet grill? My dad absolutely loves his.

I just went to Smoque BBQ in Chicago. Unreal. Never had BBQ rub like it. Didn;t even need sauce.

Brisket rules!!

There's a difference between Joes BBQ and Joe's Real BBQ?

One has an apostrophe and the word "Real"?

I've never heard of either, so I don't know if there is a "Joe's BBQ" or not. I couldn't find one on the web, though.
