BBQ Life: a blog about my adventures in Texas BBQ and the art of smoking meat.

  • Smoked Brisket

    Smoked Brisket

    It’s the pinnacle of Texas BBQ, the gold medal standard by which I judge any BBQ joint, smoked brisket. It is a 12+ hour labor of love that can be a maddening process, but the reward when successful is beyond compare. A flavor that is completely unique, and a tender, gigantic piece of beef that…

    I’ve been trying to upgrade my smoker, a necessity in my opinion, for quite some time. Well it finally happened and I couldn’t be happier. I feel like a kid with a new toy. There were a few things I was looking for in a smoker. My old smoker, the “Chargriller Smokin’ Pro,” was very…

    It started with ribs.

    My obsession with smoking meat started about 7 years ago when I purchased my “Chargriller Smokin’ Pro” offset smoker/grill. I had one years before, but never learned how to use it properly (this was before the days of having the internet on your phone). I knew it was cheap but it’s all I could afford…
