I personally know Myron and his family, but am better friends with his uncle.
Those smokers are great, check out these stump smokers... they are some of my favorites https://stumpssmokers.com/
Bark looks really good pharm bro. Did you wrap or not?
Thanks for this thread @ghostofuga1.
All of us on here know a little bit about football, but it's fascinating to see how everyone differs beyond that.
It was clear from the bourbon thread that some folks were knowledgeable, a few were experts, a few were novices, and some didn't know the first thing.
I'm a novice about bourbon, knowledgeable about scotch, and an expert on wine, but I don't know the first thing about cooking out.
Just to put it in perspective, @tfk_fanboy's post above mentions Aaron Franklin, Meathead Goldwyn, sous vide, a stick burner, a pellet grill, and a kamado. Out of those six things, the only one I've ever even heard of is kamado, and all I know is that it's something similar to a green egg. (And I could even be wrong on that, I suppose.)
Hopefully a couple of folks can offer some real basic guidance on here. If not, I'll just google everything I see and try to get up to speed. Either way, I am grateful for this thread.
Thanks again.
Aaron Franklin is the bbq man in Austin. When I was there fall of 2017 his shop was under renovation so I had to settle for bbq somewhere else. I was not a happy camper.
I'm partial to Adam Perry Lang and the guys at Hometown BBQ in Red Hook, but that guy learned at Franklin's so that might tell you something
Yo, anotherdawg bro, we got you. I’m far from a pro, but I feel like I have advice to offer. Everyone has a way. Take what you like and what you can do from suggestions. Then do it and be the life of the house.
They look really good. Thanks for sending it my way! Blows me away you know myron
Is adam related Ben C of Lang smokers?
Doubtful. I used to have his cookbook serious barbecue but sold it bc I really didn’t have the type of grill to go all in with it
I didn’t think he was, but figured I could be wrong. I have a Lang from the Savannah area and hadn’t heard the name.
I'll def. hit you up on some wine advice. trying to understand some basics, especially reds. I don't know enough to know what I don't know yet
Aaron Franklin is the goofy kid on the block in the world of Texas BBQ. His "cookbook" has like 5 recipes. It is more "why" than "what" but he has made quite the name for himself. you want his food? get in line a few hours before they open and you'll get a plate, usually.
Meathead is the man, plain and simple. he owns and operates amazingribs.com and I'd argue it is the best resource for grilling and smoking on the web. a lot of scientific method behind his madness. no "grandpa's way"
you're right, a bge is a brand of kamado. kamado is a style of grill and BGE is the biggest name on the market. a decade ago they were the only viable option, now there are a lot of amazing options (some superior)
pellet grill uses wood sawdust pellets for fuel and a thermo to maintain temp. does not get hot but really simple for smoking. takes the work out of it
stick burner is like a Lang. you burn real wood and the heat/smoke goes into a chamber to cook the meat. more skill/work involved but when does right = amazing results
sous vide is cooking food at extremely precise temps, to 1/10th degree, in a vacuum sealed bag in water. this generation's version of a crock pot, kind of. but you will repeatedly get high quality consistent results. and it is all in your kitchen
no wrap, i really enjoy the bark so i rarely wrap
Thanks tfk bro. Going to research him
Good good stuff. Thanks man.
Don’t know about wine or a lot of smoking techniques but if you want a great tasting steak ....marinate it in Dales for an hour or up to room temp, throw it on grill and season with McCormicks spicy steak seasoning. Flip it to a nice medium cook and then enjoy
Dales all the way
Lang is built outside of Nahunta. It's about 20 min from Waycross, 45 min from my house. Not a big place at all. Called on it once while working another job than I have now
My bad... Brunswick was the major city I was thinking of. Not sure where savannah came from. I figured it was small. Lang himself answers the phone when you call haha
Oh not trying to correct you JRT just giving a little more detail. The Savannah area also works. It's a small world. Lol. Its actually between Nahunta (small town) and Hobokin (an even smaller town, 1 red light). I didnt know their cookers were so popular.
it is a beautiful day here. low 70s, sunny, slight breeze. I cut the grass, blew out the garage and the porches, and now sitting the the back yard while my son plays with the two dogs. I have Waylon Jennings Pandora station playing with a glass of bourbon on ice. about to put the laptop up and watch them. another hour or so I'll light the kamado for lunch
love days like this
now to decide what to grill...
