LOL. Well, I guess I'm one of those fools because I just took a class. ;) To tell you the truth, I'd be more afraid to judge my first contest than I was when I competed in my first. I hope to judge one later this year. From what I learned from other judges/competitors and K&K (local SoCal...

I like the undercover beer, vato. LOL. We did okay at LB. 6th in ribs & 5th in pork. We got lucky in pork. One judge killed us with a score of 8-5-6! They even left us a comment card that said our pork was "...tough and not tender at all" and "taste - none at all"! Wow! I couldn't...

How long did you let it rest before you sliced it? What was the IT when you sliced it? What we've done as a new team and as assistants to other teams is let the meat cool down to about ~175º IT and then sliced it or put it in a Cambro and maintained that ~175º IT. Once, when we used a cheap...

My team will be competing at Long Beach this weekend. I'm a new CBJ as well, but I haven't judged a contest yet. I hope to get one in before the end of the year, but only if I don't have a full weekend off; otherwise, I'm probably going to compete instead. You'll know which entries are...

Yes, we did. I think a lot of people have! LOL

Yes, we do. They usually finish anywhere within that 2 hour window. Heavier cuts finish later in the window so that just means they are on hold in the Cambro for less time before turn-in. This was just a guide we were provided that works. As you you can read it's very common timeline and it...

Welcome aboard and happy que'in!

For my WSMs, I start the fires at 10pm and put on the briskets & butts at 11pm. We cook them both at 250º. We wake up at ~4:30am and check the temp and bark. Depending on how much of the bark has formed, we spray the meats with apple juice/cider vinegar & beef broth respectively every 15...

We cook full packers in the 12-16lbs. range. Now that we recently added a 22.5 WSM, we use that for cooking 2 packers flat on each grate. When we only had 18.5 WSMs we used to prop up the center of the packer so that it was draped over the center of the grate. Now we just use the 18.5s for...

I have...and I ended up buying their 22 at a great reasonable price! ;)

Just finished watching Ep. 3 on the DVR. Johnny Triggs' Smokin' Triggers beat Wicked Good BBQ to move on to the finale. Seemed (T)rigged to me. Or, that's the way the producers wanted to it to look like. Even Johnny himself thought he didn't do so well. They made turkey and pork belly...

That is the same Aaron Franklin. He's the restaurant everyday BBQ guy to the 2 competition guys in Myron & Tuffy. It's on Destination America Channel. It used to be called Planet Green, but rebranded on Memorial Day. I see you're from South Carolina like Solomon Williams. That's one for you...

Myron Mixon is still onboard, but they have a couple of new judges joining him. They are Tuffy Stone of Cool Smoke BBQ & Aaron Franklin of Franklin BBQ. Also, there is no host. All the judges take turns making the intros and instructing the teams. There is, however, an unseen narrator. I...

Did anyone catch the premiere of season 3? They made brisket & tri tip. I thought the premiere was Sunday; however, I awoke to find a new episode on my DVR! How 'bout that?! I laughed out loud when I saw their reaction to being told they were doing tri tip. Of course, 2 of the teams made it...

Has anyone tried Brazen BBQ in Hillcrest?

Thanks AJ. Got it off finally.

I came across a OTG with a SS ash sweeper. I removed the ring and pan in order to put it on another kettle. I'm having trouble removing the SS handle and blades. Is there some kind of trick? The OTG cleaning system was the only thing salvageable IMO since the rest of the kettle was cracked...

You should've just told them you owned a Ranch Kettle or a Weber Fireplace. They would've sold the handles to you without a hassle.

Well, after the Ranch handle debacle I decided to try my luck with Weber Fireplace handles instead. Ordering the fireplace handles turned out to be very easy with no hassle at all. I just told them that I needed to replace the handles for the fireplace I bought off of CL They were $16.40...

Now, apparently 80554 has been discontinued for sure. A rep ordered me another 2, but I was sent 2 of these newer brackets again. The old 80554 are gone for good. Here is how an old wooden handle fits on it. At least, it's a drop-in fit: BTW, the newer gray handle seems to be cheaply...
