    Last Episode Of BBQ Pit Masters Tonight

    It's a good show for what it is. Dramatised reality tv. Myron played his part well. I think maybe some of you were caught up in the drama. Myron's probably a lotta fun to be around in a casual setting but at a comp he's a business man and he is there to win money. I would be too.

    fat side down or up

    I've done both and you'll get good results either way. Anymore though I do butts fat cap up and score the fat to let the rub get through and help baste the meat. Kinda like this......

    Fall off the Bone ribs question

    The ribs themselves have a part in this. I try not to get ribs that are too lean. Look for some with nice marbling to the meat. Also Don't be stuck to 2-2-1 or any other time constraint. Foil when you get that 1/4" pullback, Braize for 2 - 2.5 hours, than back on the pit to firm up. You're the...

    Just one smoker

    As for the ones I have, my modified SNP is great with lump and splits. If I had my choice of any and an unlimited budget I'd go with a Lang or a Jambo.

    To Foil or not to Foil

    There ya go. good plan. :) You're getting a lotta fat in them beans. You can save the juices pour in a container and refrigerate. Then you can skim the fat off and add the juices to the beans as well as the pulled pork. I let the meat rest in the cooler for an hour minimum before pulling. I've...

    charcoal ???

    Royal oak burns really hot and you have to be able to control the air flow. I use briqs when I use the ECB. Main problem with the sams or walmart briqs is the amount of ash. With RO lump I can do a 12 hour brisket smoke in the SNP without worrying about ash buildup. Briqs do give you a long...

    Canadian bacon question

    It really depends on your cure. If you are using TQ you can over cure it. My first CB was in the TQ/brown sugar cure for 8 days. I rinsed it and soaked it but it was still very salty. My family likes it a bit sweeter and Ron suggested 4 or 5 days. Thats what I usually do now and it turns out great.

    Canadian bacon question

    Ya i'm in that snow belt too, I have a 12 lb packer to deal with. lol I've never done that but once it's cured I would guess it would be fine to store it a couple days B4 smoking. Maybe somebody else will chime in here. Or you could build a nice big fire in the smoker and melt the snow...

    HVAC School. Good idea?

    I'm a master HVAC contractor doing residential and light commercial heating and cooling. All of my work is service repair/replacement. I used to do new construction but that market hasn't been too stable. In the service field there's some slow times but if it's 20 degrees or 100 degrees you will...
