    Young gun with a smokin' barrel.

    My mother and my ex-wife were terrible cooks. I was trying to remember a meal that the ex did and nothing comes to mind they were so bad however my current wife is so good I gave up competing with her until I got the smoker. Now I can do something better than her which is saying a lot.

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    I've recently read Franklin's book and it is instructive and entertaining. He covers the subject in depth but there is nothing more gratifying than smoking your own. Ate at the Round rock Salt Lick a while back and will easily admit mine is better.

    looking for information on starting a bbq competition

    I really dislike food competitions as instead of the best [rpduct the winner becomes who brings the most friends. I was in a Chili competition and had the best hands down but the winner had more friends show up.

    Fatty and Beef Shoulder Roast

    My wife surprised me last night with a stuffed meatloaf wrapped in bacon. Wow! I can imagine if it had also been smoked but it was done in the oven. She also suggested since Randal's has Briskets and Ribs on sale for the Super Bowl I need to stock up the freezer! Will not see Super Bowl as I am...

    Blizzard @ The Bear Den (2016)

    That is because the roads in Texas are crowned in the center so heavy rains will roll off. I've seen cars sitting still on these crowned roads slide down to the ditches.
