All BBQ is for tryhard fags. Anyone with a backyard grill can do it, it is not special, it is just cooked meat. Then all the different people bitch about which basically cooked meat is better than the other basically cooked meat.

Also sauces are disgustingly sweet and are used to cover up basic cooked meat. People brag about this shit, it is sad.

I worked at a Mission Barbecue briefly and their recipes were utter trash. So many bulk cans for everything, way too much butter, may too much sugar, and salt. How to make the beans taste good? Just add a scoop of fat renderings from the brisket that was soaked in the dead sea and then add even more salt to it. Cross contamination and poor management across the board. Every new location opened has a team of trainers comprised of managers from around the country and each one is confident in a different way of doing everything. Shit pay. Shit food. I hope the former Under Armour and Outback execs lose it all.

Yes, it does mean it's untrue. I've eaten more bbq in Texas (and everywhere else) than you can imagine in your tiny pea brain. There may be some shitty bbq places in Texas that only use s&p to rub the meat, but those would be the few exceptions to 100s of other places that have their own recipes for rubs that include much more than that.

Butbthat moron was talking about Texas bbq, not Carolina bbq. There's big differences in both meats, wood, seasonings, and sauces. (Both are good, but different). In Texas, most places put pride in having their own rub mixtures, which doesn't necessarily mean they use a shit ton of different spices, but it's more than salt and pepper.

It was a long day of moving, unpacking the Budget Rental Truck at my brothers new home, yet another transplant from California - a place where he never belonged; rather than mimicking a typical California expat moving to a big city, he moved to the piney woods of Deep East Texas for solitude, homesteading, and a life of Americana.

After the moving was done, I cracked a budweiser, fed the dogs and had a seat on the couch; as the dogs ate, I heard some snarling in the background, I turn around to find my brothers pit bull savagely attacking my brothers chihuahua. After the altercation, I found his mouth had been snapped in half. I put the beer down, hopped in the truck and drove all over looking for an emergency vet - this was life or death blood loss.

They were able to save the little guy by suturing his mouth back together but warned me that he may not be eating solid food for a few days depending on how he managed. When we left I was famished. Driving down the country road back to his house I saw "Bodacious Barbecue" and decided to stop to finally try it to get myself some food and a little snack for my non injured dog. When I started eating, the meat was so god damned tender, I knew my little injured pupperino would have no problem eating something that essentially liquified when entering the mouth hole. It was absolutely delicious, the doggos loved it too, and the injured one got nice and full off of a bunch of Texas Barbecue.

Shit's fuckin' good, man. Overrated? I've never had anything like it.

I know people who make excellent Texas barbecue in a refrigerator.

I'm thinking of doing it that way myself.

The guy has an old commercial refrigerator with the one door. He cut a hole in the top for the smoke to escape and set up a temperature probe in the door. He has two hot plates in the bottom. On one of the hot plates, he puts a pie tin with pecan wood to create the smoke (you can also use pecan shells for this, too).

With three shelves on a wide commercial refrigerator, he can smoke up to six briskets at a time.

I should specify that I'm from Texas but a town which isn't particularly known for central texas style bbq. Hype etc.

It really just depends on your cooker and meat selection. Once you've got it down a couple times, you're right, making tasty meat is pretty easy. But within those you learn that there's a huge difference in finished product to the discerning eye. I've seen Choice meat come out better than Prime more times than not.
