British Undeservedly Snotty about American Cuisine

[jimmy olsen]

The problem I have with making barbecue myself is that the closest restaurant to my house (only about a half mile away) is a BBQ pit with some of the best brisket and ribs I've ever had... and cheap to boot.  So, why bother?

I still want to try a brisket in my smoker, but I doubt I'll top the other place.

I posted pics of that restaurant in another recent thread. 

Which thread?

Yes, I know that conifers are generally bad for smoking.  I usually use applewood, hickory, and mesquite (though Princesca dislikes mesquite, so the latter is very rare now).

maple can be quite good as well.
