Method

Preparing the Meats

  1. 1

    Rub the Meats

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture generously over the pork shoulder, beef brisket, and chicken thighs. Allow the meats to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Use your choice of wood chips for smoking, such as hickory or applewood.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Meats

    Place the pork shoulder and beef brisket in the smoker, ensuring they are not touching. Smoke for approximately 12-14 hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C) for pork and 203°F (95°C) for brisket. Add the chicken thighs during the last 2 hours of smoking.

Making the Sides

  1. 4

    Prepare the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and coleslaw dressing. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  2. 5

    Cook the Baked Beans

    In a large pot, combine canned baked beans with your choice of seasoning and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 6

    Bake the Cornbread

    Prepare cornbread mix according to package instructions. Pour into a greased baking dish and bake according to the package directions.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the BBQ

    Once the meats are done, remove from the smoker and let them rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with BBQ sauce and hot sauce on the side.

  2. 8

    Plate the Sides

    Serve coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread alongside the smoked meats for a complete BBQ experience.
