“Adding two or three chunks of wood to the coals adds a great smoke flavor to meat. I prefer pecan wood, which adds a mellow smoke flavor, but any good wood will work. And most barbecue sections in stores and supermarkets around the country, like Walmart, sell hickory wood, which adds a heavier smoke flavor. Oak is also a good option for a mellow smoke flavor.” TwoCountryThreeSellsAddWoodsStoresSmokeMeatSectionsCoalFlavorOaksSupermarketsChunksBarbecueMellowWalmartPecans Author:Johnny Trigg
“A meat temperature gauge is a priceless tool. You can get a very inexpensive one at most hardware or sporting goods stores, which will easily help you determine the temperature of your meat so it is not over or undercooked. Pork is normally done at about 160, internal temperature. Steaks are cooked medium rare from 145 to 150. 165, medium. Well done is about 175, internal temperature.” WellsDoneHelpingToolsDetermineStoresMediumsMeatInternalsGoodsTemperaturePricelessSteakWell DonePorkHardwareGaugesInexpensive Author:Johnny Trigg
“There are a lot of barbecue sauces. But I've been using Head Country barbecue sauce for 20 to 25 years, which is manufactured in Ponca City, Oklahoma. It's just awesome and has tremendous flavor. Many professional cooks use it and it can be found at Kroger and Walmart stores around the country. I use the Original, which has a white label and is a classic. But there's also a hickory flavor, called Hickory Smoke and one that has a little heat.” YearsLittlesCountryUseFoundWhiteCitiesOriginalsStoresSmokeLabelsCooksHeatClassicFlavorSauceBarbecueOklahomaWalmartBarbecue Sauce Author:Johnny Trigg
