Pitmasters Episode 3 is starting

[bigsal51]

The kid need to sweeten his bbq. I know cooking in Texas is spicyer than anywhere in the US. We somtimes get happy with the chile powders and forget about the surgars. Whats funny is that they havnt gotten a grandchampion yet. I dont feel bad now for getting 5th and 6th place in any cookoff. If they cant place that offten that they have that many Championships then I dont feel that bad.

 

[bigsal51]

Another thing I love there paint jobs on there rigs. What kind of paint is that.

 

[chisoxjim]

this show & the folks on it got real old, real fast for me.

Took it off my DVR's "to do list".

"they gone!"

 

[thunderdome]

I thoroughly enjoy the show.

How many times are we going to hear the kid say he's one of the best chef's in Texas, and he's a culinary this, and a culinary that.

Johnny Trigg knows ribs! I gotta try some of those somehow

 

[trobes]

The kid got Triggs spice rub from someone. Does anyone know which one he uses?

 

[got14u]

I pretty sure it is powder coating not paint

 

[bill in mn]

It's T.V. and everything you see is scripted to a tee.I have over the years done quite a bit of set work for food related commercials.The things they do you just go "that's how they do that" I have a good friend that is the best turkey cook you'll ever see with a weed burner,they just want it brown and steaming they only cook one side for the shot and then they will cook another 1 or 20. what ever it takes.Torch/photo/throw then repeat. I have seen them use sulfuric acid to get pizzas to steam but they can't do that anymore now that eating out of trash cans got popular.Seen 20lbs of M&M's peanuts get sorted out for just the best 50 or so.It's fun now that I think about it.
The first set I ever did was in 1985 for General Mills ,had to build a tree house for some in house motivational show.The theme was "Get an idea,Make a plan and Make it happen",I was what made it happen.On that set The camera operator asked if I wanted to read the In-Fisherman television show script ..What? he said you don't think we have a full crew out in a boat and hope he has something to say do you?I guess I did ,that ruined it for me from that day on.
I enjoy the Pit master show but never forget its a "SHOW"

 

[ryan in louisville]

I don't understand the whole presentation thing. Sloppily placed in a container is one thing, but why use tins to make each chicken breast identical? Chickens aren't identical in size, not or they close to being shaped like a muffin. Come to think of it, chicken rings are not natural either

 

[kurtsara]

He was not DAL in the Illinois contest, he was third from last

 

[carpetride]

It's actually growing on me. I like the "chick" but it seems like she hasn't experimented much outside what her dad told her to do. Myron seemed to cuss less or maybe I just tuned that part out. Would definitely prefer to watch Harry Soo over the kid. The kid needs to go back to serving bar food.

 

[rhankinsjr]

My wife who is a fan of things like "the real world" "keeping up with the karashians(sp?)" and that other stuff watches the show just to see why Myron says next.

He is quick witted and funny. I think they focus a lot on that part of him and it makes him look like a real tool.

The look on the Ladies face when they told her she was going to shut down the electricity was priceless.

Off topic: Once as a child I asked my dad what part of the chicken a chicken ring came from. He looked at me and said "Its the butt hole son".

 

[glgoodwin]

The cupcake pan has got to hinder some of the good smokey BBQ flavor from getting into the chicken doesn't it...? Thats probably why Myron isn't winning much in chicken.

I enjoy the show...its fun.

 

[fatback joe]

I never won a damn (Myron Style

)thing in chicken when I first started. Not even close. One time I forgot to add any wood when cooking the chicken and was in the top 10......the next time out I planned for no wood and made a couple of other tweeks and got 1st in chicken.

Anyhow......all that to say, I doubt lack of smoke flavor is his problem.

 

[csmith2884]

I had the same thought if the whole topside is skin and fat the meat wouldn't get any real smoke flavor. So trading the appearance when you open the box for taste is a losing recipe in my book.

 

[thunderdome]

I thought he just put in cupcakes till they slightly firmed up for shape, then took out and finished smoking and got some texture?

 

[carpetride]

Oughta cut the bottom out of those muffin pans.

 

[herkysprings]

Myron punches holes in the bottom of his muffin pans, which are tinfoil.

 

[raceyb]

Myron knows his stuff but was cocky in the show I saw last night, the kcbs/mbn comp. I like Wood chucks :)

 

[alx]

The pits tuffy and trig use made by gear are double insulated.I have put my hand on outside of tuffys rig and it was cool while smoking...

 

[rhankinsjr]

I think you are right. When it showed him removing them from the smoker they were not in the pans. Not sure how long he lets them roll in the pans, but he appears to finish them out of the pan.
