Just For Fun While We Wait

That's what parents were put on this earth for... to make rules.

The kids test them (and us), find loop holes, and improve on said rules when they become parents... Gotta luv 'em!

My first smoke was small cheap shoulder.

I was just putting the pork in the ECB and the phone rings. I got a call from the home that Mama's oldest sister was soon going to be on her way to heaven and my job in the family is to help them on their way so off I went.

Burnt black an inch deep! I ate the middle though.

My second smoke was another small cheap shoulder.

Same deal. Got a call from the home Mamas baby sister and my only remaining Aunt was soon going to be on her way to heaven and she was scared of dying. I went to her side and tearfully sang the funny childhood songs they sang to each other as kids and called her Mama and sisters to her side. The room got really warm and she looked up at me and smiled! They came! I know they came to bring her home.

I didn't mind wasting most of those two shoulders but I still get very nervous if the phone rings when I'm smoking.

Years ago when i started cookin brisket i had cooked a couple in the oven but the first time i tried to smoke one i was using one of those stand up 3 teir smokers fire on the bottom water in the middle, first off my brisket was too big and i was with my bubbies and we were drinking the thing would not cook wouldn't heat up enough, and at about 11pm we ran out of coals, so by about midnight we just took the top off the grill and started eating burnt tough uncooked meat. it was a disaster

wally werld, target, and the such will have pizza stones......you heat up the stone before using......in the oven

but in a smoker, i bet it would werk great........

if you can't find a pizza stone....use a unglazed ceramic tile.......bout 14 inches square.....maybe get by wiht a 12 inch.......and will be way cheaper, than a pizza stone will ...run ya......
lowes.....home depot.......maynards........****.....discount tile stores even...bet if would be even cheaper

Wd

my last time at burnning food was why i got the brinkmann gas grill, my old one that i converted over to charcoal (the valves were all stuck and useless) but i got some coals going in it and put some lump wood on it (first mistake) put the ribs on and went inside for 5 min (second mistake) went back out to find it on fire so i got the fire put out and the ribs were black on the bottem so i turned them over thought all was well and i was needed inside again (third mistake) when i went back out they were on fire again

a 3-2-1 turned into a 1-0-0 and they were really crispy and burnt. the dog loved the crunchy bones but it made him sick the next day.

thats when i said enough and got the brinkmann grill.

Well mine has to do with burning myself. Stupid stupid stupid. But I learned from my mistake and my wife to this day won't let me forget.

Had been smoking ribs on one of those stand up water smokers. After a few hours (and beers) I noticed that the coals had died out. I opened up the little door where you can add the coals and did so. They still wouldn't light. So me being the Budlight spokesman for the day decided to add a little lighter fluid. Now the big problem here is I never took the lid off the unit before I put the flame to the virtual bomb I had just made.

Before I knew it I was blown back about 5 feet and my right arm, with a brand new tattoo was nice and toasted. Being the man that I was

I decided the ribs needed to be finshed. Damn my hand hurts. Oh maybe more beer will help. Nope. Grabbed a bag of frozen veggies. That helped a bit.

Wrapped up the ribs and then asked the wife to take me to the hospital. I had never felt pain like that. Hand and fingers turned into one big fluid filled blister. New Tattoo was burnt and no hair left on my arm.

Got to the hospital and was put ahead of everyone else. Had 2nd degree burns and was given some good pain ***** and silverdyne (sp?) cream.

Lesson learned after that one. Wish this forum was around or I had found it about 4 years ago. Probably would have saved myself a little pain.

Prolly would not have even had a can of <UGH> lighter fluid at the house! I got it from an exploding rad hose once-nice patch on the back. Worst pain there is. But the synthetic morphine really works, eh? ;{)
