    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)

    Chicken thigh taste test- 2 comp styles vs backyard

    I am a big fan of brining. I was kind of surprised that the unbrined tasted better. It was really because of this particular salty rub. Thighs come out moist on their own though. Other than the flavor of the meat, there wasn't really a difference. Then again I only brined 4 hours. Overnight...

    Chicken thigh taste test- 2 comp styles vs backyard

    SO the results- We had 6 people for the taste test. 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...

    Chicken thigh taste test- 2 comp styles vs backyard

    I bought some chicken thighs today to practice competition style chicken since I WAS entered for a local BBQ contest (non sanctioned). I found out today it is cancelled bc not enough entrants. Oh well. I decided instead to see how competition thighs compare to just typical home thighs. I made 3...

    This would be a nice addition to the arsenal!

    Yep, true blue whisper. I can sear things just fine on my bge as well. My next purchase will be a high quality offset to replace my cheapy. If I won the lottery you can believe I would have one of those argentine grills in my backyard too tho!

    Tonight's Chicken

    Not at all Steve. I was curious bc a lot of folks don't like mesquite. I usually use a bit of that along w hickory on my pulled pork. It seems like the general feeling among people on here is that it is too strong and earthy. End of the day it's all about personal preference.
