BBQ Talk
I know we've got a few people who like to 'Q around here. I'm getting a late start to BBQ season, here. Typically, I start at the end of March and end with the Thanksgiving turkey, although I did once smoke a standing rib roast one warm Christmas.
Saturday I'll be smoking a brisket and venison shoulder, with the brisket racked above the vension so that it drips and keeps the venison from drying out. I've got a bag of tabasco barrel oak that I'll be using for smoke. I'll try to remember to take pix.
What are y'all up to?

Re: BBQ Talk
I'd be driving to Carrollton, TX to crash a BBQ but I have to go pick up a couple of Iguana Rescues on Sunday. |

Re: BBQ Talk
Rev,
You don't 'Q in winter...with your climate...shame on you.
I smoke and 'Q all winter here. The smoker can take quite a bit longer when the temps are 20f or lower.
I have a turkey getting ready for the salt water soak and the wife wants to grill some asparagus on Sunday.
Saturday will be pan fried fresh bluegills and maybe some crappie. I have to catch them first....thats why the maybe on the crappie.

Typically I take some time off between Thanksgiving and my birthday, in March, so that my birthday season can also be the opening of BBQ season, but due to some complications that included being taken out for all you can eat stone crab claws for my birthday instead of having to cook my own birthday dinner, we got a late start. While I enjoy cultivating my patience with the smoker, you won't find me using it when it's below 40 or 50. Heck, you're lucky to catch me outside at all...
Speaking of turkey...what else are ya putting in the brine? I usually brine turkeys and salmon before smoking (with different brines, of course)

Re: BBQ Talk
I'm still trying stuff with the brine..
I like brown sugar and a little garlic for turkey.
I like smoked salmon but I haven't gotten that perfected. I just put lemon pepper in the brine for salmon.I still like it best indirectly over charcoal with butter and lemon pepper.
