    Fab B Lite

    Welcome to competition BBQ. In all fairness, the judges only take one or two bites, and there are a lot of different judges with different tastes. The idea is a flavor packed single bite, with flavor that doesn't offend anyone. When I cook for myself, I like some spice, and I'm not a big fan of...

    If you're going to try it, go easy. Try it on a small piece of meat first. I'd never use this crap at home. I really don't like the taste of competition meats.

    I&G is Disodium inosinate  and Disodium guanylate. They're other flavor enhancers. Anything you can do to get the competitive edge... Lol I picked up the Fab B at Firecraft: http://www.firecraft.com/product/fab-b-lite-16oz-bag-887-16

    Basically, in competition, you really only have one bite to get the judges attention, so that bite needs to taste like a whole meal. Fab B is a blend of phosphates, MSG, and other flavor enhancers that you inject to boost the flavor of the meat.  To give you an idea of how different competition...

    Because competition cooking is nothing like backyard cooking. The food isn't the same, the taste isn't the same, and most competition cooks will tell you that the stuff they cook for competitions is not the stuff that they serve their family, friends, or restaurants.  Competition isn't about...

    It's a phosphate blend. No reason to use it at home, but phosphates are big in competition.

    Menu ideas?

    I usually do chicken with ribs just because the cook time isn't as long as a pork butt or brisket. If you want to go outside of just meat, make a couple of fatties. As far as sides, I like doing collard greens, or making baked beans from scratch and tossing them on the smoker for that smoky...

    First time ever

    Starting with electric or propane is actually sort of nice. You'll be able to concentrate on your seasonings without worrying about temperature control as much. I'm sure your first cook will be great! Good luck, and welcome to the obsession...

    Competition T-Shirts Ordered

    Just ordered my first shirts for the BBQ team. I named the team J 'n' C BBQ for our two dogs, Jack and Conor. My wife drew the dogs and I put the logo together. What do you guys think? (Attached a shot of the dogs for reference and because they're awesome.)

    Fab B Lite

    Anyone using it? I'm doing a trial run with it on Labor Day. Hoping to use it in this month's competition if I like the results. I'm planning on mixing it with beef broth and apple juice for the trial run and using a Plowboys Bovine Bold Rub for the brisket. Not sure what sauce I'll finish with...

    It's a KCBS competition, so it's the standard brisket, butts, ribs, and chicken on Sunday. On Saturday, they have dessert, iron chef, sauce, and Kid's Q.
