When I first got my ATC I continued to use water in the pan. This resulted in a lot of up and downs with the pit temperature. My thoughts are that the water pan is just a heat sink that helps stabilize the pit temp and doesn't really do anything for the moisture of the meat. When you have a...

Looks fantastic. Nice job, young man!

Yep. That or lose the water pan completely and go to a foil-wrapped clay saucer (planter base).

Yeah, I can see what you mean. That looks horrible. Better luck next time. :)

KCBS contests require the pork to be at least 5 lbs. and in one piece. You cannot separate the money muscle from the rest of the butt/shoulder prior to cooking. You can however, kind of "unfold" it by trimming the pieces on either side of the money muscle away without separating. This also...

Good friends and good food. That's what it's all about. Great choice of tunes, too. Triumph rocks!

I think you made the right choice, at least based on appearance. I bet they tasted as good as they looked. I'm in charge of chicken at a competition this weekend. Hope mine turn out as well as yours did.

Awesome. Great looking food and photos.

Looks delicious, RC. Nice job!

Hell, I don't know what anyone thinks, Jim. Myself included. But I do seem to recall something from a seafood post you had back in Feb/March: You did say "probably" though! Just yankin' your chain. Glad to see your entry.

Great looking entries so far, everyone. But I thought Lampe didn't enter throwdowns!?! :D

It's on in the St. Louis area. No limit. Picked up 150 lbs. yesterday.

Wow, it looks great. Nice job on the handles.

I have a Stoker ATC and use a 14" foiled clay saucer, and have never had any problems getting to temps over 230. Depending on what I'm cooking, I smoke at 225-275 degrees. No issues getting it up to 275 and holding there for hours. For competition chicken I ramp it up to 325 without a problem.

Wow. Fantastic looking meal and photos. Looks like they should be in a cookbook! Great job.

The ribs look fantastic, Marc! Great color. Nice job.

Looks like a very tasty meal, John. I'll have to try it.

That looks really tasty, Bob. Nicely done!

Congratulations, David! Nice job.

That's good livin'. Looks great, Bob.
