Anyone appreciate "Genuine Pit BBQ"?
Different areas of the country have their own spices:
Kansas City area - a tomato based sauce & dip with a variety of flavors - I like a "little" sweetness with "some" spice..but not too sweet.
North Carolina area - a vinegar based baste & dip that adds it's own compliment to fine meats.
Of course all this meat has to be slooooow smoked & cooked to get that tender end product that has the smoked flavor imparted throughout the meat, not just on the outside 1/4" or so...
I did a lot of research after experimenting with the standard "Little Chief" type smokers and bought a "Cookshack Smokette":
This produces genuine "Pit BBQ" foods that I can't even put into words...absolutely some of the best flavored brisket and pork loin I've ever tasted!! Braindead cooking, small amount of wood, put the meat in, close the door, set the temp, walk away and return in the specified time - "EXCELLENT"!!
Poke around their website & forum (they run UBB also!)for some great recipes & tips on this delicacy!! YES - THE COOKER COSTS QUITE A BIT MORE THAN A "LITTLE CHIEF", but the quality cannot be compared!! Well worth the investment...GREAT for family/friend gatherings (they can't believe one could cook food this good at home!)...That's what we're doing Monday (2 HUGE porkloin roasts...gonna feed an army! CAN'T WAIT!
