I'm not bringing any Texas smoked ribs, but I am bringing some awesome Texas smoked brisket barbecue - I know, I smoked it.

Gee that would be tough to take  lol

Yeah, it's hard to get good Texas barbeque, especially when I'm a native Texan, cook, and happen to have my own pit.
I use to work a big whopping pit that easily did 600 pounds of meat, at one time. 

There maybe a reason I'm our group cook...

How cool I'd love to learn to do that. I love cooking.Been doing all the cooking at home since the kids were small.

Actualy, it's not hard with the correct equipment.  You gotta have a smoker, not a grill, mine is similar to:

The smaller chamber on the right and low is the fire box.  It takes chunks of wood for fuel for smoking.

You can also use electric smokers (I never have) that do a good job:

I'm not endorsing any, I just google smokers and grabbed the addresses.

Once you have a smoker, a big hunk of your meat, smoking wood, it takes time.  My briskets take 16 hours of cooking. Ribs about 8 hours, chicken - 3-4,  fish about an hour (I love pike smoked!).
Different meats use different woods, mild meat needs a milder smoke.

Brisket is my favorite.
Get fire going, keep smoking chamber heat low, put meat on, open a beer.  🍻
Check temp after sipping every beer. 
Remember;  I cook for 16 hours, pace your beer, so you can finish the brisket without falling down.🍻
