Had real BBQ I think.
« on: May 24, 2004, 01:59:21 PM »
So is using a brinkman smoker to smoke a pair of tri-tips, a chicken, a rack of ribs and some sausage real BBQ?

We did not have the stuff on hand for a good rub, mostly used season salt, and some other spices.

We then useds a el cheapo brinkman with a few mods to cook it for 6 hours or so.


It was FANTASTIC!!

I want to try some good rubs next time though.

 This was a test man!

 It could have turned out BAD, real bad, would you have wanted to come out to fremont for half cooked or over cooked stuff?


Now that we have it down.... and I am pretty sure I won't emberass myself badly I could see inviting folks!

A small bottle of rub that will do 3 racks of ribs or so runs about $3 here.

If you'd like a selection, I'll be happy to pack you up a few and send them at cost.

Thanks Toad!

I may take you up on that!

Was there a web page I could look at their rub selection?

So using the brinkman is real BBQ then? lol

The guy who owns it is a texan and said it worked WAY better after we changed it a bit.

We put the legs on the outside and added legs to the fire pan, and then some holes in the bottom of the fire pan for better air circulation, and a small rack to put in the middle of the coals for better breathing.

Man waiting for the six hours was hard! it started to smell good pretty quick!! lol

Well, I don't know of any really good KC BBQ supplies site that has all of our better stuff available online.

Generally, there's maybe three types of rubs.

Everybody makes a "rib rub", lots of folks make a "brisket rub", some folks make an "all purpose rub" and a few even make a "poultry rub".

Of course, some of these come in two versions, like a "regular" all purpose rub and a "hot-n-spicy" all purpose rub.

BBQ is just a continual journey of experimentation and enjoyment.

So, tell me what you plan to do and trust my judgement.  ;)

I'll send you like 2-4 rubs. Figure $3 each and shipping. You'll be real close and I'll enclose the actual receipts.

I'd start you out with a little Jack's Stack, some Gates, Bilardo Brother's or maybe some Hog's Breath. It's all good... you just have to find the one YOU think is best. And remember, variety is the spice of life.

As for the ECB, the El Cheapo Brinkmann, I used one for years. It can make EXCELLENT BBQ if you pay attention. This guy has the most extensive modification page/instructions I've found and it's good advice. Especially the Polder thermometer.

http://www.randyq.addr.com/ecb/ecb.html

Be sure and go to his home page there and look at the "basics". Great info on getting started. It's a real good site overall.

Remember...... it's a journey and it's fun. There really isn't any "bad" BBQ unless you screw up in an incredible fashion.

Enjoy!

Gto I got that same smoker on sale.  My first test run was a pair of chickens.....THEY WERE YUMMMY



Question?  What kind of mods did you do to it.....

I read about a mod to the charcoal pan so its easier to add too...

I had a heck of a time keeping the temp just right?  what temp did you cook at?  also adding charcoal every hour was a pain...any sudjestions?

 Can you send me an email with you addy? Can I just mail you a check? I hate dealing with paypal!

lol
Sounds good,

I want to do a brisket next, but they are hard to find here, so next time it it will prolly be chicken, ribs and tri tip again.



That is the web site I used for changing the brinkman, lol I have had it bookmarked for years!

Toad et al.

I loved the BBQ in KC, however the Gates sauce hasn't been a big hit here.

OTOH I could live on those burnt tips!
