    Best Lump Charcoal

    I be bought cowboy coal 2x, and both times there was a lot of lumber. I won't use that anymore. BGE brand is awesome (apparently the premium/large prices from RO) but way too expensive. I've been using royal oak, but my local SAMs club had Vision coal at $9 for 20lb bags, so I grabbed a few...

    How often do you smoke?

    Sounds like you need to get yourself a cast iron Dutch oven moozoo. Chili, gumbo, some stews are even better on the smoker)

There is definitely a difference for what I liked from a standpoint of eating the at home where you eat a lot vs the one bite taste test that a judge would experience at a competition (Im definetly not an expert in this regards, but I think the...

    Chicken thigh taste test- 2 comp styles vs backyard

    The beer was hob nosh...my new favorite IPA! 7.3% alcohol so a stiff one too. As far as the sauces, they are both great on their own, but mixing them 50/50 is amazing. Tangy with some heat. Im a huge fan of blues hog.

    Chicken thigh taste test- 2 comp styles vs backyard

    For the rub and sauce combo, I decided to use Yardbird rub and then a 50/50 mix of Blues hog original and tennessee red. This is the rub and sauce combo that is really popular on  the comp circuit and has won a grand championship (for good reason). After about an hour on the grates, mopped...
