    Cutting Up a Pork Butt for More Bark?

    Keith, don't take this the wrong way, but... You are in North Carolina, a state with a long and rich barbecued pork history. Why on God's green earth are you considering pork advice from a Texan?;) But in all seriousness, I get what he's doing. More surface area = more bark, and that's a lot...

    Wsm vent replacement

    That's not uncommon for someone in your, um, "demographic". ;) If you use locking nuts with nylon inserts, put the nuts on the outside of the bowl so they'll be farther away from the heat. Don't put any kind of spacer or washer between the vent disc and the bowl because it'll create a gap...

    Smoked Oxtail

    This has "winter Sunday night" written all over it! And as good as the potatoes look, I think a loaf of freshly baked bread would be just as enjoyable.

    Thanx from Colorado!!

    Welcome, Jay! I can't answer any of your questions because I burn charcoal and wood... ...but is working at/on a golf course as much fun as I've always thought it would be?

    Overly fatty smash burger

    If you cooked them on a solid surface like a griddle the extra fat would've probably let you cook them longer without drying them out, and you could've gotten a nice crust. I say that in the interest of science you need to replicate this cook and give the burgers more time. I'd offer to help...

    LP tank explosion.

    I'm pretty sure that you swearing would consist of a lot of "Gosh darn!" and "Dagnabbit!". And maybe a "Criminy!" or 2 if you were really ticked. ;)

    Coppa Pork Steaks

    Whoa, talk about timing...the butcher shop I visited last weekend also had pork coppa steaks in the case! It's the oinky equivalent of a beef chuck eye steak. They might have a little bit of chew, but being from the shoulder they should also have a not-so-little bit of flavor. If they're not...

    Meat People

    It sounds like the title of a bad horror movie but it's actually the name of a butcher shop on the east side of Madison, WI. I'd driven by it several times before deciding to stop today, and I'm glad I did. I'll let their website provide the details: https://meatpeoplebutcher.com/ They had...

    Just picked up from a $10 kettle

    Is the first one being sold by Dan Quayle?;) Horace, is the kettle a 22" or a 26"? The "Bar-B-Q Kettle" lid vent definitely makes it a vintage model and worth saving if possible.

    You know you're getting old when...

    You know you're getting old when Phil Perrin posts a selfie and you wonder who that young guy is. ;)

    Rotisserie Picanha

    Dear sir, I am interested in investing in a Fogo de JimK franchise. Please respond at your earliest convenience.

    RIP: Paul Kirk, The Kansas City Baron of Barbecue

    Any bookshelf without "Paul Kirk's Championship Barbecue" is IMO incomplete. I've either cooked from it or used it as reference a number of times over the years. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/paul-kirk-obituary?id=58525994

    Beer.

    Forgive me if I ranted about this earlier in this thread because I probably did, but... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is up with these IPA jagoffs insisting on calling their beers "juicy"? A piece of nicely cooked protein can be juicy. Fruit can be juicy. There's even Juicy Fruit gum. But *BEER* is...

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    I'm pretty sure Larry understands "leaking bladder"...;)

    The Humor Thread

    There's an Eric Gregg/Greg Maddux joke in here somewhere...

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    You secretly want to be known as a "barista", right? ;)

    The Humor Thread

    I remember when a group of us kids would throw Jarts as high as we could to see who could get one to bury the deepest. And we'd all just stand there watching, oblivious to the potential danger.;)

    Green Jumbo Joe

    Back in The Day, some JJ/SJP owners went as far as drilling out the bottom of the bowl for a single daisy wheel vent so they could get hotter fires...certainly NOT recommended for yours! I think I bought my SJP about the same time Timothy did and probably from Ace as well, and discovered first...

    Rib roast ribs cook time

    Not at all. Personally, I like these ribs better grilled because they're literally "steak on a stick"; when I want smoked beef ribs I'll get short ribs or plate ribs.

    What do you do when there's a $1.99/lb. deal?

    I'm pretty sure that when I'm autopsied (preferably after I'm dead), my intestines will qualify as a giant tube of meat.
