    rib sweat?

    I rubbed the ribs before they went on and then added more during "sweating". When moisture starts bubbling from the meat they are "sweating".

    rib sweat?

    well, I thought this thread had died a long time ago. I did an experiment with four racks of ribs, half got rub when the ribs "sweated" (sweating was determined using Mill's directions) and half at random times. all the ribs were great, no one could tell the difference between the sweated and...

    Mike Mills Magic Dust & Apple City BBQ sauce

    one of the reason mike gives for releasing the recipe for magic dust is that he feels your flavor profile is going to be different than his based on where you source your spices and if you grind them fresh. Having said that, I've made the recipe a number of times and it's never been spicy and...

    6 butts, 18.5 WSM, unsatisfactory results

    I've had some of the same problems cooking for a big group. I don't cook with a water pan, I let temps get to 250 before the meat goes on but I've still had a lot of time variation, some if it disastrous (dinner 2 hours late). so now I leave myself 18 hours for these type of cooks and haven't...

    Fresh Wild Hog Shoulders (and I do mean fresh)

    We don't have much of a pig problem in ny. What exactly is the problem, are they dangerous to humans or other animals? Or are they hard on the environment? It sounds like an ideal environment for a wsm...leave a trail of pig food leading up to your smoker, close the top over the pig once it...

    Italian sausage and peppers?

    Hi, My parents always boiled sausage and then grilled them. I'm thinking this is not the optimum recipe. Is it better to smoke sausages or grill them? How do you know when they are done? thanks, jd

    ribs on kettle

    I had a kettle for 5 years before the wsm. I found the best method was to start the coals and push them into equal parts on opposite sides of the kettle. There should be a big space in the middle with no coals. Cook the ribs in that space the same way you;d cook them in a wsm. You'll need to...

    Chicken in Comps.

    paul, sorry, a little confused by your note. You mean one should never eat the middle piece of a chicken during competition? Every bite should have a piece of skin?

    Chicken in Comps.

    well guys, I promise at the next comp I'll ask our cbj coordinator for an opinion and post back here (won't be until the summer as I live in the NE).
