Cornfed BBQ

Dear Gateway Drum Smokers

I hope you’re doing well.

I’m sorry for taking you for granted.

I needed to downsize when I moved cross country.

Turns out what I really needed was to keep what I had, four barrels that cooked championship-worthy BBQ while barely asking for attention.

I’ve cooked on a lot of smokers since then.

But nothing quite tastes like food cooked on a drum.

If you’ve ever got rid of a smoker and regretted it…

You know exactly what I’m talking about. 😭🔥

PS… I started back over again with one drum

When your neighbor is starting their own bbq journey and they got questions, you help them out. Sometimes your neighbor is a freaking rockstar and drops by with a bottle to say thanks. Always happy to help out if needed. This may get him a year of questions on the house.

You gotta stop by Orr's Farm Market and taste these rubs. They are🔥!! They even have some specials going right now. Hoffmaster's House Of Spice BBQ Rubs is the 💣. My personal fave is the sweet & smoky chipotle rub, just saying…

30 degrees outside and feeling like 20, perfect time to practice for this year’s competitions. Today was a taste test, don’t come at me for them being ugly. Thanks to Hoffmaster’s House of Spice Rib Rub these turned out perfect!! The flavor was right where I wanted it to be. Now we turn to making ‘em pretty!

Am I the only that hates washing and reassembling this little bastard!!??!? It’s always a struggle keeping everything lined up.

Out of 6 racks, I found 2 worthy for this years bbq comps. The hunt continues for more!!
