    BBQ Pittmasters or the BCS tritle game ?

    Well I watched the football game for sure. But I dvr'd pitmasters. I must say my hat is off to Johnny Trigg for taking Paul under his wing. As far as the game goes my heart goes out to Colt McCoy for not being able to compete in the game he has been preparing for his entire career. I think...

    Who Likes Pulled Pork

    Looking goo Dude! My friends always tell me I'm crazy for smoking in the winter but the never hesitate to eat it when I get done. Go figure. I usually use boston butt's from Hy-vee as well. Where can a person get boston butts that aren't flavor enhanced around here?

    Injecting Butts

    I rub my butts with Bad Byron's Butt Rub and inject with 3 parts apple juice (unsweetened) and 1 part rum. I use appelton jamacian rum but captain or anything else would work just as good. I have had good results so far.
