...and you'd be completely justified in doing so.     But no...I was just dyslexic and crossed my #s.  

Picked up a nice tenderloin, decided to give it a go... Trimmed (carefully, as there wasn't much fat to begin with) Did a relatively mild injection of dark beer, beef broth, Worcestershire, pepper, onion & garlic powder then let it rest in beer/beef broth for 3 hrs in the fridge. (Gratuitous...

Prepped my second time Baby Backs this morning. This will be my first attempt using my own rub recipe vs pre-made bought in the store. First time I used Bone Suckin' Rub using 2-2-1 method but I think I had the temp a bit too high. They were tender (maybe too tender) and literally falling off...

3rd Smoke...may branch out to either a Tri-Tip or some Baby Backs
