Famous Dave's Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rub

   In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create your dry rub.

2. 2

   Season the Meat

   Generously rub the mixture over the beef brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs, and chicken thighs. Ensure all sides are well-coated. Let the meat marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

3. 3

   Preheat the Smoker/Grill

   Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C).

4. 4

   Cook the Meat

   Place the seasoned meats in the smoker or on the grill. Cook the brisket for 10-12 hours, the pulled pork for 8 hours, the ribs for 5-6 hours, and the chicken thighs for about 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for poultry and 195°F (90°C) for pork.

5. 5

   Baste with BBQ Sauce

   During the last hour of cooking, baste the meats with BBQ sauce to add flavor and moisture.

6. 6

   Rest and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the meats from the smoker/grill and let them rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
