Pitfaced BBQ - Meat Massage, Spicy Meat Massage, and On Point - Standing 10% off for TW!

Nice one! We have been enjoying the pitfaced spicy rub as well! In fact, i need to order some more since I used a bunch of what i had left on some baby back ribs

 

Thanks for all the input and helping me along the way!

I knew it was good. I've had it before, I wasnt the one to cook. Its always been amazingly prepared by Maner @Bigdaddy4760. I've helped him a few times now wanting to learn and decided I was ready to give it a try myself. I've never smoked before so I was happy to at least already know of a good rub! I ordered this knowing I was going to try my hand at it sometime. I ordered it like a month ago and figured it was time to put it to use.

I've enjoyed all the rubs they offer. Now that I have a good rub I figure its time to learn how to smoke with it!

 

Hell yeah man! Smoking meats and cooking outside in general is one of my favorite things! I hope to get a stick burner at some point in the future but for now, the pellet smoker has been a treat! The one thing about getting good at this is that everyone is always going to want your meat

 

I'm using a pellet smoker also. Once I start getting better and more into it I may make the move to wood but that time is pretty far away since today was my first attempt.

 

I first learned with a gutted old fridge model. GE stickburner it was. I’m all for automation, I use industrial probes to monitor temps all the time. I’d go stir crazy if I couldn’t poke, prod or mess with it some. All that matters is the happy faces when you finally sit down & eat in the end. Happy Smokin’.

 

Did some baby backs this weekend with Spicy Meat Massage and they turned out great! Overall it may be a tad bit too spicy for us so next time we'll do half regular and half spicy. I'm getting hungry just looking at the pics again haha.

 

Spicy PF pork butt over the weekend, almost wiped out my stash. Just put in an order for the smedium bag

 

Round 2 smoke session is started with a small pork butt and Dino Ribs on for today. Both are rubbed with Pitface BBQ Spicy Meat Massage from @bvbull200. After my first attempt and talking about it with @Bigdaddy4760, he said it sounded like I was running hot so I've added some temp gauges recommended by him to get a better reading. Testing today before starting I found that last time with it set to 225 I was likely really running a lot hotter up around 275-300. Running the smoker set to 175 now and I'm getting a pit temp reading between 210-225 now.
Rubbed down last night ready for today!

Thrown on around 8:30 today once I got the temps in a good range.

Gonna be good

 

Should be. It was good last time but left a plenty of room for improvement in the cooking. Better monitoring of the temp should really help me end with a better finished product.

 

@SuperBad looks great so far... Bring that over here

Great 2nd smoke today! Really enjoying the Spicy rub from Pitface BBQ @bvbull200. Dino ribs turned out good. Ended up going 9hrs and wrapping at 160°. Think I may have slightly over cooked them but still juicy and tender with good flavor! Had some bread and cheesy scalloped potatoes as sides for dinner.


The pork butt came out even better. Took a little taste after shredding it and its quite juicy with lots of flavor. Gonna vacuum seal and freeze some of it for lunches over the next 2 or 3 weeks.


Temp fluctuations were pretty big so we'll work on fixing that to get it to hold temps better. I'm going with the wind(definitely not my dog Teq) caused it to fall off a table onto the ground and the doors pretty bent up now.

 

3rd smoke is on! A 10lb pork butt and brisket flat both with On Point Rub from @bvbull200.

 

Hell yeah! I think you've caught the bug! I'll be tuned in for results.

 

I will neither confirm or deny that. I will say I sure am having fun learning and I havent liked to cook since I was like 10. Up until this started this year I easily ate out 20+ times a week just so I didnt have to cook.
