The Ultimate BBQ'er

[seagrave2001]

Hey guys we had a Chicken BBQ over the weekend & borrowed one of the other Fire Compaines Smoker. This will do 120 Half Chickens at a shot. It is powered by Wood (what we used) or Charcoal. . You gotta love the chrome stacks & wheels... .

Here's a pic of a pit that's made it's way around Texas, and other states now.



It's called the "Undisputable Cuz"

I saw it back in 94 at a bbq cookoff. Awesome to see in person, 48' long, made of 60" or 72" pipe. I believe he said he could cook 20 full sides of beef at a time.

Curtis, is that big pit still around? I heard about a pit mounted on a semi trailer that burned down in Houston one year at the Livestock Show cookoff.



Wasn't sure if that was the one or not.

the Undisputable Cuz was just in the Landline magazine.

Yep, the Cuz is still around.



Sits alongside a little place in North Houston. Still gets around though.

smoking suggestions

This is sort of on topic... I'm having a family get together in a couple of weeks and am cooking to feed approx. 40-50 adults. I've got two pits and will be smoking brisket and pork butts on one and doing split chickens and sausage on the other. I need a good recipe for a fairly simple bbq sauce for serving as well as mopping the birds. I also need a good simple marinade/rub recipe for the briskets and butts. I would like to avoid having to concoct anything too elaborate. Just something simple and flavorful. Also, anyone got a good recipy for borracho beans? The wife and I are breaking in some new property we bought as well as my big 3-1st bday.



Thanks in advance. JaMan--you gonna be off on the 1st of October?

Here's a good dry rub:



4 tablespoons sweet paprika

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 tablespoons ground cumin

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons salt

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon ground white pepper

1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper



Mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.

(The rub can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several weeks. )

Makes about 1 cup.



It's easy to increase ingredients as needed for more rub.



Enjoy.
