    2nd place ribs

    I thought it was weitd also, but then again there were a few things that were different then other cook-offs. 1. No granish, not only that but no parsley or lettuce so we didn't have to worry about "making boxes" 2. on calf fries, they needed 30 samples for judges and if you had a dipping sauce...

    ideas to make my wild - native porkies better tasting

    if you have access to corn I would cage the animal up and feed it corn for a good week or two. any type of grain in pork will make the meat milder and taste better. It is not enough sometimes to just let the animal roam free on "organic" material as you cant watch them 24 hours a day. if corn is...

    Pellet smokers superior ?

    I am and will be a stick burner until the day I die! a lot of bbq restaurants here in west texas use electric smokers for convenience, to use wood sparingly (a big deal in west texas) or just to improve efficiency. I personally believe there will always be old fashioned bbq joins especially in...

    Getting catering jobs?

    I remember my first catering gig years back I did 2 briskets for a friends Baby shower party. I told them I would do it for free. They ended up buying me a 750ml bottle of makers mark and 1100 feet of 18" butchers paper! and the brisket turned out pretty good.

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    there is no doubt aaron franklin produces good bbq. I think it is very important to realize bbq is subjective to taste, is influenced by hype, and taste can often be influenced by anticipation, or others opinions before tasting it. One thing I would like to point out is, When was the last time a...

    First time spare rib fail.

    heres the deal on good BBQ. Good BBQ doesn't start with seasonings, marinade, or rubs. Good BBQ starts with Fire management. Spare ribs are better at 275-300 degrees since they have less fat than country style, Kansas city style. Other ribs I prefer 250 or so. Post oak is pretty popular in the...
