whats your weakness when grilling/bbqing?

It’s all about time. Some things can’t be rushed if you are gonna do them right.

You try to crank the heat up and finish it quicker, you’ll burn the outside and the inside won’t be done right.

The key is to know your meat. Know your pit. And you work within those confines. You are the pit MASTER. You master your pit or it will master you. If they guests get impatient, frick them, That’s why you have appetizers.

You are in control. Outside temp, inside temp, amount of smoke...everything.

It’s done when it is done right.

Ribs. I’ve tried several times to cook ribs on the grill and they just don’t come out tender and juicy. I bake those in the oven slow and low and they come out fricking fantastic

Beer. When l crank the grill up, I start slamming beers. Shits either overcooked or undercooked, but the sausage is always just right.

Kids are still alive, so l got that going for me.

I love doing ribs on my BGE. 2-2-.5 for BB is on point (I wrap with brown sugar and squeezable butter.) Have you thought about setting your grill up for indirect cooking?

My biggest weakness is timing of pork butts. I hate starting the Egg in the middle of the night so putting it on at 7 means it's not done until 7 or 8. Also trying to grill my wife's steak "well done" without it turning into shoe leather.

rub mayo over the chicken before you sprinkle your rub. it shields it from overcooking and locks in the juice.

My train of thought is,
If it’s in a pot, keep it hot,
Keep stirring but let it stick to the bottom a little and keep adding liquid, that’s where the flavor is.
Don’t let it get to burnin, keep the paddle turnin.

Now if you want to cook it slow, keep it low.
Don’t worry about the time it takes. Let the smoke do its job. If you are going low and slow commit to that and don’t try to rush it. You have less moisture control on a pit so If you get it too hot you’ll dry your meat out. Let it smoke and sweat but keep it moist.

I already know your weakness...

What’s so funny about the mayo thing? Mayo is essentially eggs and olive oil

Do you put oil on things you’re grilling?

Beer. I drink way to much beer when I grill
