I need ideas! :)

Hey All,

So im new to the whole BBQ and Grilling Scene.. Within the last few weeks Ive bought my self a Digital thermometer the maverick E775, i think that's what it was called, a Set of good sharp knives, a bunch of spices to make my own Rib rub, a bunch of supplies to make my own BBQ Sauce, and i inherited a free brink man smoke'n'grill... Im to the point where i know how to cook a great steak on a grill.. Ribs im in the process of perfecting on a smoker, grill i know how to do. The smoker i experimented this weekend with and the ribs came out GREAT im so sad i forgot to take pictures though .. I was trying to think what other meats can i cook on my little smoker that would take around 4-6hours? im going camping this wekeend and im bringing my smoker so i figured id experiment a little . Any Recommendations?

My Steaks


My Knives

New toy smoker.. Got it free so i cant complain



PS. Go easy on me its one of my first Posts

@iammadman, Thanks for the confidence booster! Ive only been Qing for about 3 weeks now maybe a month? that's when i started trying and experimenting atleast.. I do have to thank my little cousin though the lil F'er was like "i think it will taste better with your own rub instead of premade.. then paused and said u know if u make your own sauce it will taste that much better!!!" LOL thats what got me into making my own stuff... I must say knowing everything is made from scratch all made by my self makes it taste that much better!

Ill be sure to take more pics of my new experiments ill be playing with, im thinking this weekend of doing a Brisket for the first time. that or more ribs seeing how i still have enough supplies to make more bbq sauce and rub... i did buy a Vertical holder for my racks so i should be able to smoke all my racks at once instead of waiting for so many racks to be done before i can start the rest (was my problem last weekend not enough space and didnt have the holder at the time)

@norcalque, Thanks!


So I went to costco and they only had really big briskets and pork butts (18-20lb+ ranges) i figured i dont want to worry about tendering the smoker that often during camping.. So im going back to my Orig Roots and do ribs! Ill tackle the butt or brisket when i have a weekend at home and have time to mess around lol.. So this time around experimenting with my smoker ill take pics and post them .

So my Prep tonight... Drill holes on bottom of Coal pan, Drill holes on top of smoker (bought magnets today at harbor freight), then make my rubs and bbq sauce! I also bought a torch to start my coal it should be fun now haha.
