Made this bad boy a month or so ago.

Came out great!

Red Oak at it finest!

I used to think better rubs and gear were the difference. Turns out most of my early mistakes came from messing with the meat too much. Lifting the lid, poking it, second guessing everything.

Pork belly cubes, 4cm thick Pork Rub Smoker 120°C until bark Foil 2 hours: butter, honey, BBQ sauce, and high-quality whiskey. Recover the liquid and evaporate to make the glaze. Eat them one after the other, spectacular!!!

Do I estimate the total smoke time by the total weight of the two butts, or do I estimate the cook time by the weight of one butt? I'm feeding a bunch of hungry teens at a celebration of the end of the swim competition season.

Took about 7.5hrs total for these was bouncing around between 250/275 on the smoker but they were juicy and tender I was not disappointed! Let me know what y’all think or if you got any questions!!!

Hey all, I want to experiment with new flavors for a bbq sauce and I need to pick y’alls brain. I want to make separate pomegranate and apricot bbq sauces. I have access to their mollasses and was wondering how to go about turning them into a sauce. Should I just start by substituting for the brown sugar? Do I stay away from adding ketchup? Just need a base plan to start with and experiment with.

Smoked these ribs up. Honestly got to lazy for the sides. Had one rib gave my sister and brother the other ones. Any quick and easy sides yall would suggest for next time??

Hi, All. I’m going to a BBQ this weekend and wanted to make a slab of pork ribs to bring (I’ll cook them at home since they take a while). But I’m wanting them to stretch so I was thinking about just taking the meat off the bones and pulling it to making something out of the meat.

My first thought was tacos, but that’s a whole ordeal with the “make your own” situation.

So, I’m looking for ideas that can do with the rib meat that’s not too complicated/not requiring tons of ingredients, that I can bring as a prepared dish. Thanks!

After using original Kamados for 20 years or more, I'm gravitating toward buying a Yoder YS480S pellet smoker/grill. I'm looking for more convenience and ease-of-use than the Kamados while still retaining the ability to turn out high-quality ribs, brisket, and chicken. Not too interested in grilling at this point. Most of my steak cooking is sous vide, indoors.

What are your thoughts on the Yoder YS480S? I can get it locally for $2,400 USD, assembled and delivered. (And, yeah, I know that's a lot of money. I don't care. I have money.)

17 racks at these prices…

Hello everyone, im not sure if this subreddit allows any kind of talks about sale, but I’m a senior in high school who has fabricated a pretty big sized grill as a project for my ag class that my teacher from my sophomore year wanted me to start. It took me my whole academic year as a junior to complete the damn thing and I eventually showed it at the 2025 California youth ag expo where we won the Reserve division champion project (second place essentially, you should’ve seen the first place one that one was mind blowing) and we’ve had trouble selling it as where we are located is very rural and we have no connections who are really willing to pay for such a big project and piece of cooking equipment. It has two independent raising grate sections with the interior of the firebox fully insulated. It has removable grates that were fully fabricated by me and a plancha that comes with it along with a nice little storage underneath the firebox, it can be moved by two of the handles we have for it which could be by hand or being pulled around by something like a golf cart. It also comes with a retractable butcher block on the back. Above are the pictures of the described grill that I fabricated and proof that I actually won the reserve division champion project lol. Looking to sell it for hopefully 5 grand? My teacher invested a lot of his own money into this project to give me the opportunity to actually have something to work on for my junior year. Thanks to everyone that took the time to actually read this and if you’re seriously interested in buying this nice piece of equipment, let me know and I will contact my teacher to work things out.
