This is what I did with 11 lbs of meat

I smoked it. All of it. In my smoker using hickory.
meat

The chicken turned out really good. The beef short ribs did too. The oxtails were an experiment. They’re a tough connective tissuey cut of meat and I usually cook them in a broth. I was curious to see if slow low smoking would help break them down into something good. Not so much. There isn’t enough meat surrounding the bone to keep from drying out. I suppose next time I might brine these beforehand, but at this point, I’m fine with using oxtails for soup, and not for bbq.

I’m surprised you cook oxtails at all! The only oxtail I’ve ever had is in the Caribbean soup (which is delicious).
