Sgtsmokeky Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 What are all you patriots cookin this weekend to celebrate our great nations birthday? I am going in on a Boston butt, first time ever so here’s hoping it turns out good. Kansas City rub with a sweet Carolina sticky fingers sauce for topping once pulled. Going sweet and smoky. Using pecan wood for the smoke. Got up at 5 am and started my cook. Once pulled I plan to serve on brioche buns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtemple Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Yesterday, my son had some friends over, and they asked for ribs. I had to do a rush job on them, but they turned out fantastic. Last night, I threw a brisket on for tonight. It's currently wrapped in parchment paper, finishing up.

len440 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Doing Kansas rubbed rib for the 4th just about ready to fire the classic II for hickory smoking. Wonder how many oinkers are going to be eaten today. Happy Independence Day everyone Sgtsmokeky and JeffieBoy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.O. Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Put a Boston butt on this morning around 7, my second, hope it turns out as good as my first. Salt/pepper/garlic and a little brown sugar is my rub of the day. Sgtsmokeky, JeffieBoy, Golf Griller and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtemple Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Today's brisket turned out to be the best one I've ever made. I have only done 4 at this point, and there was always something I didn't like about it. Cooked it bare to 165 Pulled it, wrapped in parchment paper Cooked it wrapped until 205 Let it rest on the counter, wrapped, for 1 hour That's pretty much it! jark87, A.O., CentralTexBBQ and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jark87 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I cooked baby backs for the first time on my KJ Classic 3. I normally cook ribs in my Pit Barrel because it cooks hot and fast plus I can hang 8 racks at once. But I wanted to see how the KJ would do. I followed a Chef Eric recipe from the KJ channel, but used my favorite rub (Meathead’s Memphis Rub + jalapeño powder for a kick), laid down some Mike’s Hot Honey in the wrap, along with mustard, butter and more Dust. Flavor was great, but ribs truly fell off the bone - way too “soft” for my taste. I cooked using a dome temp of 300° and had 2 racks on the lower grates and 1 rack on the extendor grate, using the Sloroller. I had ambient probes on both grates and each read roughly 325° during the entire cook. I’m wondering if I ran it a little hot? All in all, a nice 4th of July dinner (wife added baked beans and dirty rice), combined with great weather and a cool swim! jtemple, JeffieBoy, CentralTexBBQ and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time and I was very pleased with the results. My wife has been enjoying it a lot. I had to go to the Texas crutch once I hit about 179 but it worked out very nice. Very tender and moist with the right amount of smoke for my taste. That rub I used was very good. Kroger private selections Kansas City recipe. sweet and a little savory.
