Smoked/grilled meats

maybe because there is too much fat in the meat? there are times that i experience acid reflux after eating BBQ

I have smoked different cuts of meat over the years on different heat source types. For a wood smoker, my favorite is the type with the fire on the end of the smoker, so the heat is indirect. I use seasoned oak as I think hickory has a sharper taste. I will soak a couple of sticks or so in water overnight for the smoke. The most I have done at one time was 40# of ribs, brisket, and chickens. With indirect heat, you need to rotate the meat from the fireside to the other end about every half hour or it will get done faster and burn. I keep the temp 200-250 for half hour per pound of each cut of meat. The meat will usually not take more smoke after 2 hours and start to dry out, so I always wrap at that point. At the wrapping stage, I will often add wine or bourbon for steam and flavor, alcohol evaporates at 170*.
Since I moved to this location I don't have access to oak timber and have to buy it. So when my neighbor bought one of those Egg smokers [$1500], I bought his 2 yr old like new electric smoker. I am hooked on them now. You have add water-soaked smoke chips about every half hour or so. Other than that, plug it in set the temp, set the timer, put in the smoke chips and forget it.

No we have a smoker out there. The guys just out it on foil when they pulled it out to bring to the floor.
