Yeah, a Saturday at noon-ish probably the busiest time to go. I would like to have given the brisket a shot, just to see. But it was an awkward time how much longer we had to drive and when we wanted to have the kids eat and all that.
You might as well get it there. It's as good a place as any.
I love the SC mustard based sauce, but I’m not sure I’d love it with brisket. Not sure I’ve ever see it. That said, I’ve tended to prefer my BBQ without sauce lately. I really just want to get the smoke flavor from the meat as much as I can.
I'm with you. Very light ketchup base or none at all would be my preference on Brisket (if they don't offer mustard base).
Not a big smoker. My time is very limited. I am the wrong guy to ask but have been contemplating an egg. Just haven't pulled the trigger.
Not a ketchup, nor mustard-based guy. I'm sure I wouldn't care for it. I'm also sure Buc-ee's doesn't give one whit what I like.
Agreed. Very few retailers, if any, can make a living selling fuel only. Mark-ups inside, however, are staggering.
I've only been smoking for a couple of years, but I started with an electric smoker (Masterbuilt) which has made it much easier to jump into. The only thing I still haven't done is get a small butane torch to be able to light the pellets in the tray accessory I bought, and that way I don't have to keep feeding/reloading wood chips every hour. With an electric smoker you can typically set it and forget it, and they are relatively inexpensive compared to bigger, more advanced smokers in the pellet categories.
That is correct, what matters is the end result no matter how you got there. I also thought the same way in terms of what I was using, but figured if I wanted to get started without a lot of failure then the easier the better, and if I really like it then later on I could get into more advanced methods. I've done everything from pork/beef ribs, pork shoulders, wings, bacon wrapped smokies, pork loins, steaks (little smoke), etc in the electric smoker. Some things like wings and steaks I'll smoke for a few minutes then finish on the grill or drop in the fryer.
