      Some can’t smoke a piece of meat on anything other than what they use at work. Put them on a UDS or WSM and they would ruin it.

      Be careful though, Black’s in Lockhart will try to give you the junk pieces of brisket if you’re not watching. I always order specifically and refuse the “meat for tourists”.

  • @devinthomas4866
    @devinthomas4866 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

    Ate at Austin and Dallas TB's. Both fantastic. Will say easily best brisket I have had in last 30 years. Green beans are cooked in some sort of magic butter and Mermaid kisses, unbelievable how good they are. Ribs were great, chicken a home run.
    Place is awesome. Can't wait to go back.

    I used to think Texan's were overconfident on their BBQ, but then I went to Texas, specifically Terry Blacks, and then I understand. In other parts, BBQ is a delicacy. In Texas, BBQ is a religion. It's just not the same.

    Hickory is more of a Southeast and East Texas BBQ wood. Most of the DFW BBQ joints use post oak and some use pecan or a mix.

    I didn’t realize how much time things sit in the steamer.

Or they just need to , to keep up with demand and this is the new style bbq

    Man he loves his job 300 briskets and everything else I would be overwhelmed I'm shaking my head but I've never used post oak I use mesquite and pecan for chicken and hickory for beef simply I can't get the smoke flavor the depth on beef without hickory but it's too much for me on chicken and pork thanks for sharing and to the guy working the pits the best breakdown of the complete process

    • @mikearchibeque7220
      @mikearchibeque7220 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Same with me on the wood. I used a cord of Postoak and it puts a good smoke not as heavy as hickory, but it does make your bark darker and meat darker than hickory. I changed from a Meadow Creek reverse flow to a primitive 250 just to get heavier smoke. I tend to like heavy smoke on everything except fish.
