I did a cook for our church last summer and I cooked 8 pork butts on my 22.5. I did place them on their end, but they turned out great. There were several times when I was pulling all eight of them, that I questioned why I volunteered '-) So I know that you can put a lot in one.

Why didn't I think of that? Great idea, can't wait to try it... Thanks

I always heat mine using the hot bath method in boiling water for 35 minutes, I have been doing it for years with great results. It really makes life a lot easier to make larger batches; especially if you have several sauces. I usually do a KC style, Memphis style and Carolina Red style. It's...

I get mine at Krogers, it is in the international foods section. Most major supermarkets carry it. It has a green cap and rooster on the bottle.

Is anyone in this forum competing in the Atlanta event? I would like to come by and say hello.

When I smoke thighs, I always save some to make the best smoked chicken salad you ever tasted. Just pull 3 or 4 off and strip the chicken from the bone, chop into good chicken salad size chunks and refrigerate until you are ready to make it. I have frozen the set aside chunks for use later with...

Recipe for Rendezvous-style Rub, Memphis, Tennessee It is probably the most famous “dry rub” rib place in the world. There are others in Memphis that many think are better. But this is the Grand-daddy. This is a reverse engineered recipe done by Meathead. As you can imagine, they do not publish...

Lombardi trophy should be Larry Wolf Trophy.... AWESOME super bowl WINGS recipe For the last five years I have been invited to more super bowl parties than you can image. It's not that I am such an awesome guest... LOL, It's because about five years ago, on this site. I stumbled across the...
