    Pulled pork. Shredded or pulled.

    I say cook it until you can fully shred it with little effort. This will render out more of the undesirables from the butts, so you have less picking over to do, and it will save you on labor effort when it's time to pull: you may have to chop up the bark but you won't have to bust out the...

    Competition / Vending event.

    At the last competition we vended full racks of ribs were being sold, and not by us, for $26. They sold out both days. Markets vary of course.

    Competition / Vending event.

    .67 at 200% profit margin is $2.00. .67 at 35% margin is $0.90 But your cost on that slider probably isn't only .67, you have to amortize registration, licensing fees, fuel, insurance, tax, and your time into the item cost.

    Competition / Vending event.

    35% profit on food cost is way off the mark man. You want it to be more like 100%. Make loss leaders if you must to promote your sauce but make it worth your while at least.

    Question About Stuffing/Curing Sausage

    It should work fine either way. Cold meat is no problem for stuffing, even cold meat with a developed bind will stuff fine using a piston stuffer.

    Competition / Vending event.

    $2 per slider is half the price you should be charging. That's basically just over cost depending on a few factors. If you're curious about price, don't make your sign until the day of and then take a walk around and see what your competitors are charging. you may be surprised. Will the contest...

    Gonna name a mountain after a truck

    Different things have different names depending upon whom is asked. Surely the word "Denali" wasn't created from scratch by GMC, or do you really think that?

    Brisket - on for 5 hours and already at 198 IT

    Maverick probe is probably shot. Check it if you can with other thermometers and whatever you do WAIT until the brisket is cooked.

    Thermapen Trust Issues - Wild Temperature Fluctuations.

    I'd say this is mostly a testament to just how sensitive the thermapen is. In a 1" chop or steak there's going to be a huge gradient of temperatures from edge to center to edge. Your hands may not be as precise as you think they are at judging the center of the cut, and the thermapen measures...

    Tagine

    So uh, This food looks great! BUT according to much literature on tagine cooking the painted glazed ones can be done with lead paint and are for decoration only and not for cooking. I'd double check the provenance of this cookware before eating off it any more. Sorry to be such a stick in...

    Need advice on using pizza stone

    Another tactic to consider is using a pizza screen on top of your stone. Member Tony R has been posting some of this and it looks like he's cooking with the stone right on the grates of the genesis gasser which would normally have the same effect (burned bottom raw top) that you experienced See...

    Need advice on using pizza stone

    When I use my pizza stone on my kettle I do two things to prevent what you're talking about: 1. put the lit charcoal around the perimeter of the charcoal grate, not under the stone, and 2. elevate the stone off the cooking grate using firebricks, so that it's only one or two inches under the...

    How should I cook a bunch of boneless gourmet style pork ribs

    Shay, What you've got there is probably country style pork ribs. You can smoke em with a rub until tender, or you can smoke for a while and then braise in sauce until tender. Or you could slice em thin and grill hard, flipping a lot, until tender, and then glaze.
