Plan is to do two tri tips this afternoon. One is currently in a fajita style marinade that I'm going to use for tacos. The second is just dry brining right now, plan is to rub, smoke, slice, and save for sandwiches
What time should I plan to stop by?

killer hogs bbq rub. i use mustard as a binder, then some SPG, then the killer hogs.
I've used that too, and I have their brisket rub. Salt is at the number one ingredient at 13%. I have know issues with it in that regard.

i had their AP seasoning and it was way too salty, so i use this instead as the SPG

Does anyone have a rib rub that's not overly salty?
I use this rub for pork, Meathead's Memphis Dust. Recipe doesn't include salt because I salt the meat overnight.

Makes ~3cups

3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup garlic powder
2 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons crushed dried rosemary


I'll have to go back and add pics of tri tip cook. Did a rack of ribs this morning and doing my first ever brisket overnight tonight. Wish me luck

Looking for suggestions for my next cook. The main reason I got into smoking was to eventually get brisket, but I'm not ready for that yet. Brisket is expensive and easy to **** up so I want to really have my smoker+lump+process dialed in before I give that a go.

I did the Boston butt and some baby backs. I'm looking for another thing to smoke before I go back and go through the same same cooks for a second time.

Turkey breast is on the list for Thanksgiving so that'll be another thing to experiment with, but I don't want to do that for my next cook. I figure there's enough time before turkey day that I can get my first turkey "boob" (as @03cobra#694 aptly calls it) cook under my belt before then.

Beef ribs are on my mind but I'm open to other suggestions.
Don't be scared of brisket.... people make it out to be hard but I think that's just because everyone wants to over complicate it.

- S&P
- 225-250*
- Wrap in butcher paper at 160* IT
- Start probing once IT hits 195*, pull when probes like butter throughout
- Wrap in foil, towels, and rest in cooler or oven for as long as you can
- Slice and enjoy

I've never had a brisket turn out anything but amazing using the above steps, even "cheap" choice ones

Got a Boston butt on the smoker this morning

Memphis dust rub, trying a Carolina sauce mop every hr instead of spraying this time.

Still need to upload all of my pics of my previous cooks..

Also, I cannot recommend the meater probes/meater block enough, amazing tool that I absolutely love
