My other Hobby Smokin' Bumz BBQ

When I am am not out setting trail cams, glassing hillsides, or hunting deer you can find me in my or one of my great neighbors backyard. Standing around the smoker, open pit or Weber. Between myself and my neighbors we have 2 griddles, 2 offset smokers, 1 Real Steel Pit, 2-3 Weber Kettles, and 1 Santa Maria style pit. When we BBQ we go all out.

I myself have my Real Steel Pit (The Tin Man), an Offset smoker, a griddle and a Weber Kettle. If you can't tell I love to BBQ. I started Smokin' Bumz BBQ to hopefully get more into cooking at parties and events but mainly just for fun. I cook anything from carne asada to beef brisket and everything in between. For now I am practicing as much as I can to perfect my flavors which my neighbors don't seem to mind.  My favorite cut of meat is the pork shoulder or butt. I love a good pulled pork slider with a splash of my home made BBQ sauce. I have been toying with a few good ideals that might take them over the top. You will just have to wait and see on that.

My go to pit right now is my Real Steel Pit. A great guy named Gilbert and son build these awesome pits in Las Vegas. They are as much piece of art as they smoker. I have been using this pit for over year now and I love it.  It has spots for 3 racks and 4 hooks on the top of  the inside of the smoker. The pit has a unique feature of the top, middle and bottom piece are old plow disks. They are thick steel and hold heat very well. You also get a discada that is made out of the plow disk.  I opted to get 2, one for cooking and one acts a second water pan.

 

This pit works great, I use half the wood as my offset smoker. The pit keeps great heat and I only have to add wood about every hour. Gilbert is on to something with this pit design. I haven't really found a bad thing to say about how this pit cooks. To me there is nothing better than starting the smoker at 5:30-6am and putting 6-8 pounds of meat on the smoker.  From the first time I met him he was always nice and friendly. He never tried to sell me on his pit. He answered all my questions from how the pit held heat to cook times. He told me this pit was a game changer and he was right. This pit changed how I smoke meat. The quality of how this pit was built speaks for itself. If you are looking for a new pit check these guys out at the Orange County Market Place or check out the web site at RealSteelPits.com. If you stop by the OC Market Place tell Gilbert I sent you.
