Texas style BBQ, in response to the July 1st meet
This response needed it's own thread.
A quick note on BBQ.
In Texas BBQ is a sauce, in California BBQ is a grill you typically use for Tritip
All BBQ sauce is an attempt to give a "smoky" taste to otherwise plain meat. If you are really Smoking Meat (ala Texas style) then, (and if you did it correctly) you may not need any sauce at all becuase the meat is smoky tasting and juicy. So if you do it right and then put a strong sauce on top of it, you ruin it. So I take a regular sauce and I actually cut it with Ketchup etc. Savy??
I have a recipe for making sauce from scratch but it is a pain and I am lazy.
There is a ton of flaver that comes from the type of wood you burn in the smoker. You can actually use a wood that is too smoky and ruin the meat so you have to watch out. If you use 100% Mesquite you won't be able to eat that meat. Orange, apple, Oak, Mesquite are all good woods to use. Never any pine or in Calis case Eucalyptus.
You can smoke Ribs, brisket, chicken, Turkeys, Pork shoulder, etc. and all will be better tasting than any oven cooked meals.
Ribs:
Spare Ribs can be smoked but at a low temp for about 12 hours cause they are so tough. If you cook them right you can tell ppl that they are Baby Back ribs and they'll never question you
Baby Back ribs smoke in about 3 hours and are really easy.......but expensive
Beef ribs need to smoke for about 10 hours and are really good but they render a ton of fat and "shrink" so when your done they are about 1/2 the size you started with.
Brisket is real Texas style and Texas is famous for developing this meat that nobody would touch in the 40s. This is the toughest fattest meat out there. It needs to smoke for about 15 hours......if its done right it is the tenderest, juiciest most flavorable meat you can eat. Two guys started throwing the "trash" meat into the smoker to add miosture for the Ribs. The left it in there all day long somewhere during this process somebody took a look and taste and the Texas style Brisket was born. Funny story, back in the 70s this Canadian was living down in Texas, he told me that if you wanted to buy Brisket in Canada that you had to sneak out the back door for buying such crap. He couldn't fathom us actually 'eating' it.
Pork Shoulder/rump or same thing as ham. Georgia or one of those south eastern states is famous for "pulled pork" This is smoked Pork is pulled from the bone and served on a bun....and it is very good.
Prolly more info that you cared to hear about Smoking Meat. but now my mouth is watering.
