    Post best joke

    A local newspaper was having a joke writing contest, so a man decided to enter the ten best puns he knew.  The next day he looked in the paper to see if any of his jokes had won, but no pun in ten did.

    Goodbye Twinkies

    Not to be controversial, but when I worked as a framer, I was not part of a union and did not work with anyone (framers, concrete guys, drywallers, finishers, etc.) who were union members.  We built quality homes that are standing perfectly square and sound today and that sold  for $500-750...

    Need some advise for this weekend

    I've only done one butt so far (so take this advice for what it's worth), but it came out FANTASTIC (thanks entirely to the guys on SMF).  Rubbed it down 24 hours before, then I smoked 250-275 (charcoal and apple wood), foiled it at 165 internal temp, and the 8 pounder took about 11 hours.  The...

    Rare Steak

    A couple was out to eat at a local steakhouse, and the woman was having trouble deciding what to get, so her husband ordered first.   "I'll have the filet, cooked VERY rare" he said. "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" the waiter responded with concern. "No" he replied, "she can order for...

    Pork mush.

    I hate it when that happens.  Around here there's not a lot of good 'cue, so people aren't familiar with it.  When they serve "pulled pork," it's usually swimming in watery sauce and was stewed in a crock pot.  I feel your pain.

    Alright, bad idea, just looking for something new/unique to try.

    Apple Wood and Apple Cores??

    So, I love apples and I eat a lot of them.  I also love using apple wood smoke on everything except beef.  So I had this thought, what if I saved the apple cores from all the apples I devoured, dried them out, and burned a couple of them along with the apple wood when I smoked?  I mean, people...

    What the best over the counter BBQ sauce you ever ate ?

    I haven't been smoking for too long, but I have been eating 'cue for a long time.  I've always really enjoyed Famous Dave's sauces, don't care for the restaurant, but I dig the sauce.
