    Moe Cason looking to open BBQ restaurant in DM

    Mo's an idiot. He's stirred up quite a **** storm in the competition world with those comments where he was already very unpopular. He's has never won anything, his Jack invite last year was a loophole ******** invite. Maybe someday he'll realize that pr in a town where you want to open a...

    Celebrity Deaths

    My view is that death is undefeated, it's going to happen. I've also been accused of being a cold hearted ******* so there's that. I feel a sense of shock when a celebrity passes young, but usually only remember where I'm at when I hear the news. If I personally know a person, friend or...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Couldn't agree more. I used to do low and slow on everything. Switched to hot and fast when I decided that getting sleep during a bbq competition was beneficial. It's bled into my personal cooks because I consider them practice. Either way turns out great food if cooked to the proper tenderness.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Smoke rings look nice, but they are over rated. If you put tender quick or MSG on the brisket you can get a smoke ring in the oven. Here's a 4 hour brisket, still a good smoke ring and just as tender and juicy as a 16 hour one.

    Casey's Card Reader not Working

    I live in a small town Casey's town and ours is terrible. People in the kitchen haven't a clue about how to keep a warmer or donut case stocked and the only time the 2nd worker is running the 2nd register is when an area manager is in town.

    Smoking a Pork Belly

    You definitely taste the cilantro and jalepeno, belly gets a little bit of a green tint to it. Absolutely no heat transfer from the Jalepeno's either. I'll post the brine mix when I get home from work.

    Smoking a Pork Belly

    Looks like some good recipe's being shared, only thing I'd make sure to pay attention 2 that hasn't been mentioned is to make sure the cubes you make aren't too big. I made that mistake first time and it affected the cook and taste. Keep in the 1/2-3/4" cube range for best results IMO. The...

    What is your Pet Peeve

    The word 'whatnot'. It's the word of the idiot. Usually thrown into conversation when the other person's mouth gets ahead of their brain. They can't think of anything else to say so a 'and whatnot' is usually what follows.
