how do you spot a bbq fraud?
How many amateur grillers are in here? Looking for any tips or suggestions? I'm not one to rest on my 16/20. I'm hoping to expand on the knowledge and expertise that I already possess.
When it comes to BBQ, there really is no wrong way to do it. Unless you don't listen to me.

how do you spot a bbq fraud?
There are probably a million ways but here are a few.
1.) They will turn a BBQ thread into something about track, football, blues or how to lure underage kids.
2.) Take a look at their meat after cutting into it. If they claimed they smoked it but there is no smoke ring then they didn't do it right.
3.) The tenderness of the meat. If you need a damn hatchet to get through it then they probably didn't do it right.
There are those that like to make a brisket high and fast. I'm not in that group. Sure, there are those that have won awards going that route but I am of the philosophy that low and slow is the way to go.

What I love about grilling and smoking is that there are so many different things you can do. Sure, everyone will have the quintessential meats like brisket, ribs or chicken but there are days where I will get up a little early and throw some turkey legs in the smoker for the fam.
Takes about 5 hours or so. Just loosen up the skin, mix up some Worcestershire sauce and veg oil and rub that under the skin. On the outside, throw your favorite dry rub on there (if you can't make your own). I'll usually wrap them in cling wrap after that and put them in the fridge while I get the smoker to the temp I want it (about 250). Make sure you let the legs sit at room temp for about 30-45 min before throwing them in.
I usually spray those bad boys down with some apple juice while they are smoking. Once the juices run clear, you are good to go.

allright...I know when I'm up against it. You know more about BBQ than I do. Are you the expert? Doubtful. Have you seen the that CosmicCowboy grills?
CosmicCowboy likes to grill, sure. But that dude has to sous-vide his meats in order to get them as tender as mine.
Plus he depends on his $12,000 grill. I can go buy a $10 grill from Wal-Mart and bring back the tastiest cue you have ever had.
Don't get me wrong, what CC does is cute. Admirable even. At least he is out there trying. I'll give him that.

I've seen the pictures of his food as well as the grill. All I've seen from you are couple anecdotes and some braggadocio about being able to crank out elite BBQ on a $10 grill.
LOL.
So why do the best BBQ restaurants go to the expense of high dollar grills and smokers? Or CC for that matter. You know what I don't see? I don't see any of the guys on GrillMasters rolling out their $10 WalMart grill.
all that meat must take a ho buncha propane to cook, huh?
Again, as I have stated before, I didn't take an ad out in the paper or anything. I just know that I smoked a 16/20. I can dig a hole in the ground and make some meat that will give you multiple O's.
Here is what I think about your television show pits. Those channels also show people making "awesome" cakes. What are those cakes made of? Fondant and rice crispy treats. Now you want fluff and show, then yes by all means buy that ultra expensive grill and tools. If you want flavor and tenderness though... you need to take your time. Making bbq is like making love to a woman. You need to take your time and keep her nice and wet.

Propane? Propane, CM?

Exactly. You want to make sure that you have layers of flavors. I like to use mesquite wood when I grill or smoke. Mesquite lump coal and never propane. I do have a propane/charcoal grill but if I do use the propane it's only to heat up sides and things that compliment my meat. Trust me, my meat gets lots of compliments.
The impact Avante makes on these dummies is amazing isn't it?
woke up this mornin'
bout a quarter to three
I was hungry as a man could be
so I jumped out the bed
stop to take a leak
then went to the kitchen
for some day old BBQ pigs feet
I opened the frig
and what did I see
my day old BBQ pig feets
staring back at me
so there I sat
happy as a man can be
eating my day old BBQ pigs feet
and drinking my tea

Here this guy goes. Nobody mentions his name or talks about underage kids in bars and here he comes running trying to hump my leg.
Going to throw some pork on the smoker this weekend. Have the baby doll make some rolls from scratch and put together my favorite sweet and y sauce.
That and I was just given a case of Rahr & Sons and another case of a Real Ale mix. Good thing my back patio and deck is covered.
I'm up for that. What's your address again?
Unless "smoker" is the name of one of your friends.
Your thinking of Shmoker. He is going to be there but won't be getting porked.
I just emailed you the addy.
