I've heard that molasses is great for achieving a beautiful dark bark.  Unfortunately, I have to stay away from all but the most minute sugars.  Please tag me if you try some on your next Q, I would love to see it!

Thanks.  Super helpful here.  Just posted my own cook and skin is biggest ? for me.  

Hi All, So, just purchased a Grilla Silverbac pellet grill.  Assembled with the boy and then gave it a run yesterday.  Here are some observations on the cook.   1.) I am a big fan of the convenience of pellets.  I was able to throw the ball around with my softball star while chicken chugged...

Thanks for the advice!  I'm torn a bit to be honest.  If we are talking about a tsp of sugar in spread out over a whole pork butt, I'm not as concerned.  It's the higher sugar items like sauce.  I'm experimenting with some recipes, but without sugar - the caramelizing just does not happen...

Ha, small world.  I too am a home brewer.  I have just cut waaaaay back.  Still want to drop another ten -15 pounds before I turn the beer back on a little. My plan is to ferment some lagers and the occasional IPA to keep my neighbors happy.  Thanks for the kind message.

Holy Toledo!  Now we are talking.  Fat, believe it or not, is sometimes tough to work into a diet (Google 'Fat Bombs').  I like your style!  

Thanks Al!  I know!  I've been a lurker, lol.  My biggest issue will be the 'sugar' in sauce, beans etc.  Triggered!  

Hi! My name is Bryan and am a Pellethead.  I've lost 30 pounds on a low carb and high fat diet since November.  While I did have to give up my session beers, I have enjoyed my BBQ even more.  Looking to take it to the next level here.   Thanks, B
