    2016 Michigan get together Fattie contest at the way out ranch. (Fowlerville Michigan) July 23rd

    I'll bring some high top tables. I'm planning on arriving between noon and 2. My wife has to run some errands in the morning and I never know what is going to happen with two little kids around. I'll get there as soon as I can. Dave might be coming along too. I'll bring my smoked homemade mac...

    Glad to hear you are feeling better Stan. It wasn't going to be the same without you! Scott, do you still need me to bring tables and chairs?

    2016 Michigan get together Fattie contest at the way out ranch. (Fowlerville Michigan) July 23rd

    No problem hillbilly. What time are you planning to start smoking the quarters? I plan to arrive around noon, but might be able to sneak in a little earlier. I can bring my big propane smoker too in case we need extra capacity.

    Do beef short ribs benefit much from marbling?

    Totally agree Jimmy. I'd also add that if you're on the hook to impress with this meal, play it safe and get some angus ribs! But also grab some lower grade ones and test your skills. Try them yourself first. If it's close, ask the folks your serving to try and tell the difference. Have fun!

    Bear’s 50th Class Reunion

    Excellent pics of the car. Love me some Detroit Muscle. It's so cool that Donnie held onto it that long. My Father-in-law bought a 68' Barracuda when he was in high school back in 73'. Still has it today. The best part was that he parked it around 1983 and it stayed there in pieces for over 30...

    Our Memorial Day weekend

    Nice Qview! The only thing better than a full smoker is one that's full for days...... Sorry about your son. Its great to see you doing something charitable to keep the memory of him going.

    Water pans, do you use them and why?

    Not a bad idea EatMyPork. I have a propane smoker and I stop using water pans years ago after I read that when propane burns it gives enough moisture to keep the cook chamber at an acceptable level. I have also read that charcoal or wood smoke chambers run a bit drier due to a different fuel...

    What's with all of the sauce???

    That is correct. With all the Parkay and Brown sugar, Johnny Trigg's ribs are basically "pork candy". I presume he did that in order to (just as you said) to set himself apart. If the competitors only have one or two bites to impress the judges, it better be memorable (in a positive way)!

    Water pans, do you use them and why?

    Some guys use an empty pie tin or something similar. Just fill that with water and place it somewhere in the cooking chamber where it wont interfere with the air flow or meat cooking on the grate. Hope that helps.

    The new one from Germany

    Guten Tag Pascal. It is good to hear you are making good BBQ in Deutschland! And your English is a lot better than my German, so do not be afraid to post often and let us know how you are doing.

    Hello dere eh from da U.P eh!

    Sorry to hear the morels were a bust. We had decent luck around here, but the big warm-up at the end of May cut the morel season short. I can't help you on the casings question but you might have better luck on the sausage making forum...

    2016 Michigan get together Fattie contest at the way out ranch. (Fowlerville Michigan) July 23rd

    No problem. I'm looking forward to the July event. My wife is going to the "Faster Horses" concert at MIS the week before, so I may play that card and try to spend the night at the gathering. I want to check out one of these bon fires in person!

    Hello from Virginia

    Welcome Tamara! Sounds like you have the best set up in my opinion; charcoal for the short smokes and propane for the long ones. I'm often jealous of the "fire-pokers" on here who have the time and/or expertise to do those long cooks with wood or charcoal! I am a big fan of propane smokers so...
