Hi all

I've recently (slight impulse) gone out and bought myself a 20" offset smoker and I'm here looking for a bit of inspiration from the home of BBQ!

I'm probably going to make a start with some chicken and pork - before moving onto beef ribs and brisket.

Any advice or ideas will be very much appreciated!

Howdy neighbor! If you are looking for inspiration I encourage looking into the photos all the fine cooks on the Forum share as they feed their passion for great barbecue, family and friends. See below for a few to illustrate some things you can do with your equipment too.

Howdy and Welcome to the Forum, Steve, always good to have members from across the Pond to swap ideas with
My favorite is Beer Can Chicken and it's basically cooked in your Smoker while Sitting on 3/4 can of beer with seasonings added.
The constant basting from the Can does Wonders to the meat, especially in the Moisture and Tender departments.
When the Bird reaches 165, it's done and ready to "enjoy".

My Favorite cut of Pork are the Ribs and I like to do them the 3-2-1 Style.
Low and Slow for 3 hrs say around 200 - - then wrap and raise the temp to 300 for 2 hrs - - Finally unwrap and glaze with favorite sauce for the last 1 hr. They should come out "fall off the bone tender and juicy" - - - Good LUck and be sure and let us know (pics are boss) how everything goes.

Thanks all

I'll certainly be putting a few pictures on! The standard seems pretty high though!!

... just got to get used to the new smoker now - I've given it one go so far with okay results. It was around 36f outside though, so it might be a bit easier when the weather warms a little.

I'm looking forward to seeing what I can find on the forum!
