I may be getting cocky

[eric b]

Tonight I smoke for the third time. Ribs, chicken and corn on the cob. Everything turned out great. The ribs and corn was good, but everyone raved about the chicken. Is it always this good or will I screw up big time soon?

[Dave Hutson]

No, you will only get better and more cocky!

Well chances are you will have many more good cooks.........but EVERYONE eventually screws up down the road.....I'm waiting for my time!

And chances are,you'll get to eat your mistakes!

if you don't mess up yer not trying hard enough.

 

[Dave White]

You may mess up, but it will still be better than what you will get in most restuarants.

As I've said before, the worst meat I've ever smoked made some of the best chili I ever cooked....

The thing you're most likely to screw up is timing. Nothing like a bunch of folks over the house and the BBQ isn't done. Of course BBQ is only done when it's done. So you'll do something like try to rush the cook or pull it off early and your winning streak will be over.

As others have said, you'll still be eating pretty good, but it won't be your best cook.

Couldn't agree w/Jerry more, this still happens to me as I never give myself enough time. I just make sure I'm stocked-up on booze and the guests quickly forget
