    BBQ Pitmasters: Season 3...Wrap up...

    Actually this is the episode I mentioned watching the other day in my rant.  The food looked horrible and I could only say it tasted good if they really did slather it down with all the secret sauces and stuff.  I am not a fan of the show from this format or maybe not a fan of comp smoking...

    Competition Smoking

    Well I guess it is good to know the season two has issues.   As for hot and fast that still seems to not be enough time to break down the meat and make it tender like it is supposed to be.  I really can't see where smoking it to tender would come from if you could do it hot and fast.  But then...

    Big Apple Barbecue 2012 w/ Q-View

    Not certain but Big Apple I believe is New York City. That just looks awesome.  I need to find someone to weld a roof on my trailer.  Though I am looking at changing up a little bit from the trailer I have to this http://pensacola.craigslist.org/bfs/3068702453.html Only thing is that trailer...

    Mountain Catering

    That looks awesome.  Looks like a whole lot of fun to be there hanging out for the day.  And I think that smoker is pretty sweet looking.  Definitely different.

    My first packer...

    Yep that looks good though I am surprised at only 10 hours.  The last 8lber I did took 15 hours.  Though part of that was giving it a good bark and it was a little lower.  I varied between 215 - 230 for most of the night.  I had a pretty kicking cold (felt all stuffed up with no sneezing /...

    Baby Back Ribs!

    Mmmm definitely looks good.  I am glad I got a big smoke coming up.  Might not be able to control myself otherwise and have to go buy baby backs.

    Competition Smoking

    So for one I am in some sort of mood this evening.  Everything is bugging the heck out of me for some reason.  I think the baby waiting me up is to blame as well as the 16 hour work days this past week.  Anyways this is my rant about Competition Smoking. So I happened to be flipping through the...

    The Shed Potatoe Salad

    I was at Keesler for a while as well.  Love the area, though I never made it to the Shed.  But then again I was there around the time it burned down this year.  I think it is cool they are trying to restore it and it is tragic it burnt down.  They have opened up again.  Actually the never really...

    Trickery at the Gas Pump

Now...

    BBQ Guru CyberQ Wifi??

    My instant thought is that would make competitions way to easy.  Well at least for me to win if I was cheating, breaking into something like that would be no problem.  Could even make them think everything was alright and have it to cold or to hot. But on the other hand that does look...

    Cooking Loss

    So I have done some searching and I have found to expect anywhere from 30-50% on butts when cooking them.  Which is where I have had experience with in the past so all good.  But I was wondering about ribs, spare ribs more importantly.  How much loss do you normally get after they are done...

    Finally Ready for my first Butt

    I haven't ever done the cooler method but I have seem around here that it seems to maintain a pretty good temp for 4ish hours.  I would rather keep it there with a thermometer in it and if it falls to low then go ahead and put it back in the smoker/oven and warm it back up.  If you put it in...

    HELP - Smoking a Pork Shoulder and my grill Temp fell to 130-150 degrees overnight.

    Bubbonehead is right you should be able to get it back up to temp.  My concern would be bacteria.  You haven't maintained it hot enough long enough and as such it is ripe for the little buggers to set in.  But then again I always worry about that. Otherwise yes you should be able to get the...
