Anyone else here into BBQ'ing?

I love BBQ'ing.

This morning, I put on 2 Boston Butts (about 15 lbs. total) with a Memphis-style rub (white sugar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, rosemary). The wife and I are going to be having a lot of pulled pork sandwiches for a while!

Last weekend, for Father's Day, I BBQ'ed a whole packer brisket (about 15 lbs.). I even made "burnt ends" for the first time (which were amazing... now I know what all the rage is about). A couple weeks before that I Q'd a 7 lb. brisket (just the flat) that was cut-with-a-fork tender.

I also have a bunch of St. Louis ribs sitting in my refrigerator for next weekend. Haven't decided what sort of rub/mop/sauce I am going to do for those yet, but since I tend to like Carolina-style rubs, it will probably be either a vinegar-based or mustard-based sauce.

I also BBQ whole chickens all the time. Pretty much every week. I used to do a lot of beer-can chicken, but now I mostly spatchcock them.

Anyone else into Q'ing here?

 

Damn... just woke up checked my email and the forums, now I'm craving BBQ... Time to go to the store and pick up some meat, and get the propane tank filled

 

Propane???

Thems fighting words!!

 

Too early for me when I saw this. My first thought was "what the hell is Black Belt Q'ing" I suck at grilling, though I try all the time. I've got some baby backs in the freezer and the only reason I haven't fired them up is I'm just not sure how to prepare them so that they eventually taste like heaven and fall off the bone.

 

I know, I know...

The condo I live in doesn't allow me to build the BBQ I want, stupid bylaws, that and making a fire pit on a suspended deck is a fire hazard ... When I buy a house it's going to be bricked in wood buring BBQ... but until then this will have to do.
