BBQ Pitmasters Show

[alx]

Myron would be proud of that whole hog...Nice looking fattie.

It's up. Now what? No ones' stirring the pot. Everyone on this forum or any other forum is allowed to voice their opinion, contrary to what you say.

 

[ronp]

Oh boy here we go. This is not a contest here. Just a friendly family of smokers, if you don't fit in oh well. We do not like conflict here. Just share your smokes as you go.

If that is too hard well....

 

[luvdatritip]

I don't recall seeing anything about a contest. This thread started out about a bbq show and now it's evolved into this. Just a couple of questions for ya and then I'll leave this thing alone. Are you the one who decides "who fits in"? I don't see a minor difference of opinion as a "conflict" as you put it. "Just share your smokes as you go". I wasn't aware that you dictate policy on this board. Now I am. Happy trails.

We must be careful that we are not getting riled up about things that really don't matter..

I understand defending one's self but there is also something called not taking the bait when we feel that someone is "accusing".

Let's all be careful that we, in the great spirit of the low and slow, do not offend another person AND that do not take offense from other people.

This is certainly easier said than done but must be practiced in an effort to keep peace.

This is an important life lesson not only for this forum but in life itself.

Group hug anyone? Anyone? ANYONE??

Without different opinions and points of views we would all get bored pretty quick.

I don't have anything to say about this board, just a member for over 1 1/2 years and enjoy the family here. I looked at your profile and you made 2 threads, one to post a sale on tritips, and the other was a joke. Not really a contirbuting member IMHO.

But you are welcome to post as I have nothing to say about how this board is run.

Post away!!

 

[ronp]

Sorry Jeff I was typing when you posted.

 

[TulsaJeff]

luvdatritip.. your food looks GREAT!! Making me drool for sure.

 

[eaglewing]

OK, maybe the hug was a lil too much.... sorry.

 

[chisoxjim]

nice lookin' q-view.

 

[chisoxjim]

I agree, especially the part about just showing the different smokers these folks are using, and the end product.

As I mentioned upthread I have given up on this show since I can see the things I am interested in on SMF: folks smokers, techniques, and see their smokes . 99% of the time with less attitude, calling folks out, and bickering.

Like I said before, this show and the folks they have chosen to represent the competition circuit are the polar opposite of who I am and why I bbq.

Oh nothins wrong with it...I was just surprised to see that. I know it is a long on going debate about fat side up or down..Just thought it was interesting....As for what this thread is turning into...Everyone has their own feelings on "comps"...Alex has been at it awhile and from what it seems to me he enjoys it. I'm sure in retro-spect if all the people on the circuit where like what is portrayed in this show he probably wouldn't bee there. I highly doubt EVERYONE at comps are or conduct them selves like we see here. Luvdatrtip looks like he turns out some great bbq also..reading back a couple pages it seems to me everything got a little blown up...which is easy to do when on the internet....I am with jeff on the group HUG...

 

[richoso1]

Jeff, thanks for taking the time to put this all in perspective. You explaines it in a easy to undrstand manner which is also demomstrating deplomacy. Got my Group Hug!

 

[alx]

I agree.luvdatritip.That is a great looking fatiie.Things can get blown out of perspective.

Words of wisdom Jeff....I will remember them!!!

 

[bman62526]

I will continue to watch, only because I'm obsessed with BBQ!

However, I agree with others here that it would be better if they spent a little more time on the techniques used, the types of smokers used, the types of wood, rub ingredients, etc...

Now I know that these comp folks want to keep a lot of that stuff secret, but still - they COULD offer a little more of the 'que side of things, instead of just the comp. details.

Either way - I'll still watch! Myron IS a jack-ass, but you are right - he softened up just a tad for the 3nd episode and I could totally see him "growing" on you

I too wondered what happened to the young feller, who I affectionately refer to as, "meth head"

Happy smokes everyone!

 

[TulsaJeff]

You know.. the only team that really seems to be keeping things in perspective is the 3 weber guys.. slay yo' daddy barbecue.

They are totally relaxed and just take everything in stride with a constant smile on their face.

They are just happy to be there

I like that attitude and I sure hope they start winning big before it's over with.

 

[travcoman45]

Just remember folks, this is OUR nieghborhood, treat each other as such an how yall wanna be treated. Lets smoke somthin!

 

[k5yac]

I agree with ya Jeff, the Slap yo' Daddy guys are having fun. They are definitely the engineers of the group with their trinkets and such.

That would be more interesting for us and the members of the other BBQ forums. Unfortunately for the masses that aren't into making their own BBQ, they would be bored to tears. And that's the audience that the producers must shoot for. Ratings pays the bills. It's like Jeff said -- drama sells.

We could talk for hours (well I guess we do, in a way

) about fat cap up/down, smokers, rubs, woods etc. But for the folks who's only taste of BBQ is the babyback ribs at Applebees or the pulled pork from Logan's Roadhouse, all the tecnique and detail stuff would bore them.

I think we are very fortunate to have folks like ALX and others who have actually competed and met some of the folks on the show and can give us some insight into how they REALLY behave and what a comp is REALLY like. Some of those folks BBQ for a living so I imagine it is a little more stressful for them than it is for us.

So . . . take the show with a grain of salt and watch the show if it entertains you. It does me. And if you're looking for tips or tecnique advice, well, you've already found the place for that. You're here aren't you?

I agree...I think Myron is probably a nice[r] guy, but it works for the show to make him look like a jerk. (I'm sure he can be bad all by himself...lol) I didn't have too much of a problem with him--I have uncles and brother-in-laws and cousins who are just like him! Some guys talk big, but they're really just old softies.

The show is fun to watch, if for no other reason than to listen to Jeff's running commentary!
