    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    Put it on before it goes on the smoker. So that it cooks/bakes into it, making it bite-thru. Give it a good squirt all over, lol

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    Hey man, Yeah, it's been a while and I have a little more experience under my belt now! Having worked with a real pro, too - he convinced me to ditch the legs and go with the thighs. He said the Lollipops can be polarizing, and one or two judges who don't like them being "outside the norm" can...

    The Story of My Thanksgiving Turkey

    Thanks man! Yeah, that cheesecloth makes a huge difference. Next time, I'll leave it on even longer, to get more brown vs. dark brown.

    The Story of My Thanksgiving Turkey

    A cheesecloth that was soaked in water, then sprayed with butter and olive oil. Worked like a charm!

    Awesome Beef Ribs

    Yep - had the dome temp gauge and a Maverick keeping tabs. I think maybe they were a little thin? I checked them at that 3rd hour and was like, welp, damn. They're done. Then let it go another 15-20, then yanked them, wrapped. So to be more accurate, 3.5 hours. But still, yeah. Seems too quick.
