Nice. It's really good on pork. I've between sticking to salt and pepper for beef lately.
A good mix for most kinds of meat is:
4 parts salt 1 part pepper 1 part garlic powder
i put this in a large, empty shaker container and label it 'house seasoning'. Drizzle a little oil on one side of the meat, sprinkle liberally with house seasoning and repeat on the other side. Let it sit out of the fridge for a couple hours before plunking it on the grill.
50/50 kosher salt to 16 mesh ground pepper for beef. Thank me later

My grills/smokers nor I care about the weather. If what I'm making for dinner tastes better cooked with fire or smoke than it's happening. My neighbors think I'm nuts. Been experimenting for years and have to agree with Marty add garlic powder and for me onion powder as well (doesn't take much) to yo 50/50 mix and thank me when you are ready.

Everything. Gets. Smoked.
Garlic bread? Smoked. Tuna melt? Smoked. Eggs? Smoked.
Last night I did a bag of cheeze-its tossed in garlic olive and ranch powder with cayenne, and some cinnamon cocoa almonds. If we didn't live in the mouth of a valley this smoker would run daily. Hell, next time I run it I'm going to set a colander of peppercorns on top of the smoke stack.

All your smokin' don't have to happen in a smoker.
I bought a smoker, but The One Who Must Be Obeyed hates it. Refuses to eat anything cooked in it. Why? Well, after 72 years on this ball of mud spinning thrui space, if you are still puttin' "why" and your woman in the same sentence, you have wasted your allotted time here.
So...
I bought a Kamado Joe. And guess what? TOWMBO loves it. I cooked up salmon night before last, for instance. Whacked a piece off of our old cherry tree & tossed it in for smoke. She thot that was the best goddang salmon ever. She made a salad of the leftovers yesterday, in fact.
Smoker sets unused in the shed. Kamado fires up most every night.
Kamado Joe came with a pair of half-moon shaped pizza stone type things that you can set below the racks to shield the meat from direct fire. It can fire up and sear, or it can hold a nice low temp real steady and reliable. Simple to adjust. These things are a revelation when all you've ever owned is a BBQ.
4th of July!
Ribs & beer!
“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)
I have a Pit Boss Austin and a Traeger pellet grill, but I use smoke tubes for smoking everything for about 6 hours, then turn on the grills to bring temps up to 250 for about 2 hours to finish.
I've become lazy, cause Smokehouse
has some great brines and rubs for smoking fish and meat and everything turns out great. I still have some brines I use for things like Sockeye, but the Smokehouse stuff is so easy to use.

The beast is built. Unfortunately there is 65 mph winds on my porch, so it will have to get its inaugural run tomorrow.
