Struggling with Smoking Hobby

[daricksta]

 
Man forget the stress.  folks will wait for great food.  Have a stiff drink and tell them its done when its done.   About the foil.   Unless your a fan of a thick bark, I'd foil.  it makes life a lot simpler.  I have nothing to prove.  I sell my pork faster then I can smoke it.   Its flavor and tender folks want.  If you don't have Jeffs rub its a lose cause in my opinion,.   I have a life.  11-12hrs in the smoker.  Hr. rest and triple my money.   I'd put my pork against anyones.  Stop stressing and just do it man.  :-)  

LOL.  I always smell like a smokehouse if I'm hosting an event.  I'm the cook!   I don't give a shit what people think I smell like.   If they like your food thats all that  matters.  

Well said! I feel the same way. I've also developed a theory that smelling smoky works like an aphrodisiac on the missus or significant other. If you're not a tall guy, you can be her mountain man if not her man mountain. If you are tall, you can be her mountain man mountain...

Jaellman I'm sure we all get frustrated at times. I know myself I expect everything to turn out perfect the first time I try it. But how much of a challenge would that be? One of the thing I have learned is leave lots of time. This is supposed to be fun there is lots of help and knowledge on here. :grilling_smilie:
