So I tried a couple new additions to baby backs this weekend.
First off, I got a little lazy in two ways..
1. I only have one qvue from the first cut on the cooked rack
2. I actually cooked these indirect on my gas grill. I just wasn't up to firing up the smoker, sigh..
So first I took 3...
I thought this looked familiar!! I have your blogsite bookmarked.. took me a minute to realize you were one and the same!
This looks incredible, as does your life on the ranch! You're a lucky lady.
I moved to CA from OK about 10 years ago, and miss home terribly. I love goin back to spend...
Lookin at the blueprints, I dont see a water pan. I've been cooking on wsm's for a long time and you gotsta have a water pan in a bullet cooker. I don't see how you'd be able to keep the heat down.
And just lookin at the plans, it also seems the meat rack is pretty close to the coals.
Just my...
BTW, this was not an 8lb cut like i had thought. It was late, it was dark, and the cryovac pack looked and felt like a big ole brisket.
Turned out to be about 8 strips of meat about 5-7 inches across and maybe 3/4 inch think. Very similar to a skirt steak
Well, my first KCBS competition is over, and I had a blast! We didn't get to walk THIS time, but nevertheless it was great, and I can't wait till the next one.
What a great group of people at these competitions. I've done local events, before and actually walked :), but the caliber of cooks...
Thanks for the tips, we wound up doing Tequila Lime marinated soft tacos. They came out awesome, but still only landed us in 24th out of 38 for the mystery meat category!
was hard to fit 6 tacos in that little box!!
I just got my "mystery meat" for the KCBS Championships in Fairfield, CA. I only have a couple of hours to figure what the heck to do with this. I'm not even sure what it is...
It's a cryovac pack, probably about 8 to 10 lbs. It looks similar to a brisket, but the Organizer called it a Flap...
Welcome Barney,
I'm an Okie transplant, living in CA now. This place is awesome, and a great place to learn. Ask anything at all, these guys are that good :)
I have to say, my first fatty was awesome. The several I've done since then have me being a little more critical.
The thing I don't particularly care for regarding fatties is the dense texture of the sausage after pressing it flat for the roll. I like my breakfast sausage in with the...
Will take many pics and post what I can. I work for CBS Interactive (we own Chow.com). Trying to get Chow.com to do a story on the competition. They are still a ways behind on bbq, and tend to lean to more sophisticated palettes. Me.. they aint nuttin better than a roasted pig.

This is my first KCBS event. I've done a local non-sanctioned comp for the past two years. Took 3rd in chicken this year.
I've got my own team "Smokin' Fatties", but for my first KCBS comp, I'm competing with a more experienced team. I'll be cooking Pork...
Where you folks located, and are you doing the Fairfield competition in Mid August. I'm competing under a buddy's team this round, then moving to my own team for the next comp.
Currently, I live in Martinez, just ne of Oakland
Yeah, I don't mean to brag, but I've done Turkeys on my WSM every major holiday for a few years now. Still far and away the best turkey I've had.
well, maybe I'm braggin a little :P
Hey Ron,
Likely you were dragging a pic from email? or perhaps right clicked a pic on the forum and accidentally hit save as desktop.
I believe someone above already pointed out, just right click desktop, go to properties and change the background.
Or just leave it up, cause its a great...
