For The Win?

 best thing a Texan could smell :D

First learned about smoking here on aces high bb. Got a gas fired one(cast iron box for wood chips and a bowl for water) cause I was new and didn't know how to control temp with the vents, but it was awesome. Gonna invest in one like in the pic next spring and give it a shot

Try to get a "New Braunfels Smoker"  I give you my word that this is the best smoker out there. 

If you like barbecue, this piece of cooking tool will definitely help you make the best barbecue you can make for your guests to enjoy. This smoker is also powder-coated and rust-resistant.


My Dad got one back when I was a kid and he still has it.  I think the BBQ taste and smell has gotten even better :)




Whew!!  I need a cold shower  :lol

Yeah, the best I can do is oak firewood, the mesquite and others are small chunks. I am in the northeast, and they are not big into smoking up here. They want to turn on the gas and have their food in five minutes. I did chop down a small flowering cherry, maybe I can use that :)

I'm glad you saw the light.  BBQing isn't using a gas grill :)

You're a good egg <<S>>

It took awhile, but I figured it out. A few years back I ordered a rack of baby backs from a place called the texas road house. So tender, and the meat just fell off the bones. I could never get my ribs like that. Then one day I came across a post here about BBQ, and learned about smoking at low temps for long periods of time.

Used this rub and smoked for around 5 hours at about 210(baby backs)

The bones slid out clean. Even the wife who really doesn't each much meat couldn't stop eating them.

What I find enjoyable is the smell that comes from the smoker while I am sitting in the back yard. Best smell in the world

What I find interesting is that the smells we enjoy are not so much because of 'the scent', but because of the memories they are associated with.

Petrol, jet engines, a fresh-lit match, and burning wood.
