Barbecue taste and smell won't go away (was Burn Co.)

[jcbigler]

I haven't eaten at their new location in Jenks. But, In the 2 1/2 years since I started this thread, I haven't felt the urge to go back to their downtown location.

I know they use those Hasty Bake charcoal grills, they have about a dozen of them lined up in their downtown location. And they mentioned right on their website how much charcoal they use in a week. They don't mention smoking with wood or their hickory/pecan/oak/mesquite/whatever wood flavors. They were started by a couple of guys that used to work at the Hasty Bake factory here in Tulsa. So I'm sure that's all they know how to cook with.

It's just not the style of barbecue that all of us in the barbecue world have become accustomed to eating.

Unrelated but remotely similar, I remember when my daughter was about 6. I took her grocery shopping with me. When we went through the meat dept. I cut a nasty SPD(silent but deadly). I told her the meat was going bad and should be pulled from the shelves. An older couple were in the vicinity and immediately started laughing. I felt really bad, but managed to keep a straight face. The older couple actually called the butcher over and questioned him about the smell(they must have had the same sense of humor that I had). Anyway I saw them in the checkout line and they decided to go with frozen pizza instead of some type of meat. A few weeks later my daughter and I were in a dept. store and I did the same thing, only this time I didn't say anything. She asked where the rotten meat was. We still get a chuckle out that story 25 years later.

Sorry for the highjack. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

My Step-Daughter, Step-Son, and SIL are all capable of clearing a room.
The Daughter did a SBD in the RV once. The SIL sniffed, then sniffed again. Said "WHAT is that smell?"
Then said, "Michelle! That's YOU!
You've never seen a stampede like that one was. Even our little dog ran out blowing her nose.
Needless to say, Chris, Nobody should pull your finger... LOL! ROTFLMAO!

So is this place supposed to have a reputation for great 'que or what? What you make at home is just as good or better than you can get at a restaurant.
Sounds like a lesson learned....
