Best BBQ place around OKC is...

[jmike314]

I agree with @Shadowrider, mesquite can get real tangy and easily overpower the meat. I prefer just plain oak hardwood for a light, smoky taste. By the way, @jmike314, what's that big rolled up piece of meat being held together with skewers in the second pic in your post above?

I use oak in almost everything. Depending on the meat, the oak is paired with Apple or cherry.
Sometimes I'll use hickory or pecan.
Very rarely go with mesquite.....Not my first choice.

That roll of meat is a rack of StL ribs. When I want low & slow i use the smoker and it's not big enough to lay flat or hang. The smoker will hold lower temps for much longer times than I've gotten out of the kettle this far. The kettle is great for hot & fast smoking.

24th & Portland has been a BBQ joint for 50-60 years several name changes and menu changes over the years.

Now we are talking some stuff you won't ever see in a chain BBQ place!

Those Pastramis took almost 3 weeks in total to make

I've played with Pastrami once and it didn't turn out well. Too salty.
I may have to consult the resident guru (you).

At one time Wild Horse Mountain BBQ south of Sallisaw was the best. The first time I went there was in the mid 70's when the old man ran it. It was literally a dilapidated wooden shack with a big Pepsi sign. A real BBQ Joint. The Q was the best I had ever had and the baked beans were addicting. I also remember driving from Okemah to pick up dinner to bring home, but that's just the 'oilies' did things back in the day.

I was there again about 10 years ago, it had been sold, new fancy building and the same recipes. Just no atmosphere.

I remember this place. Best bbq I’ve eaten.

Deckle Smokehouse in Edmond at 2nd and Fretz. He even makes all the sausage in-house before they are smoked. His wife makes the brioche buns for sandwiches in-house. Plain Jane bar-b-que. He has fancy sides and they are huge. But for a carnivore, I think his meat is darn good.

I've got a late afternoon doctor appointment today and we're thinking about just grabbing a bite afterwards.....we've never tried Dickey's BBQ in Norman, is it any good ?

I generally stick with stand-alone BBQ joints and bypass the chains. Two exceptions in OK: Bad Brad's & Rib Crib, both home grown. OTOH, I'll try about any BBQ place one time. The Dickey's here in Tulsa is no more - bad management, IMO. I had some at a couple of catered events and it seemed like good stuff. They just couldn't run the retail side.

Bad Brads in Yukon is hard to beat.
