Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Rubbed and grilled pork loin with apple bourbon barbecue sauce

    • foodgloriousfood on April 09, 2022

      We currently only have a gas Weber and used applewood chips in a small smoker box which doesn't add a lot of smoky flavor in all honesty, but despite that this recipe was still terrific. Cooked 10mins each side direct 400F heat then turned the front burner off (leaving the back two on to maintain the 400F heat, but moving the loin so it was as far away as possible from the middle burner) and cooked on indirect heat for 70mins basting with the sauce at 60mins.

  • Smoked turkey breast with honey-maple glaze

    • Baxter850 on July 04, 2021

      Nice flavor. A little dry. Would dry brine or inject next time. Like the rum on the bird rather than the skin.

  • Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q coleslaw

    • Baxter850 on April 10, 2024

      Very sweet and a bit pedestrian for our taste but very simple and works with fatty brisket.

  • Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q ribs (well...sort of)

    • Baxter850 on May 28, 2020

      Came out okay. Like my ribs a little sweeter. Would add a touch more salt. Don’t be tempted to wrap. I wrapped 1/2 at around 2:45 and those ribs fell off the bone. The unwrapped rack had the right pull. The sauce with this is fantastic.
