re: Swamp pop soda review

ginger ale is really good, the others are a bit too sweet for my taste. I have been on a 30 diet with no sugar so I might just be hypersensitive to sugar right now.
re: Why Do So Many BBQ Restaurants Serve Only White Bread?
Posted by boucanierejohnsons on 8/10/13 at 9:28 am to SW2SCLA
Personally for me anything but plain white bread interferes with the BBQ. I don't want anything competing with the Q. Same goes with BBQ Sauce. Why put smoke flavoring in the sauce when you're taking a lot of time to choose different types of wood to smoke with, but hey that's my 2 cents.
re: Anyone been to the new Lafayayette Social Club bar & restaraunt yet?
Posted by boucanierejohnsons on 6/25/13 at 1:16 pm to supatigah
went there last friday for lunch. The two standouts for me were the pork belly sliders and the fried green tomato apps. I also had the Reuben which was good, but I prefer smoked pastrami over corned beef. Over all everything was solid.
re: What Woods Go Best with Smoking Brisket?

Oak is what I use for beef and pork. Long smoke time achieved without the smoked flavor overpowering everything. If im smoking a Turkey ill throw in a bit of or cherry wood mixed with pecan. For Chicken apple mixed with pecan

Tiger, thanks for the kind words. i'll pass your message on to Lori. We have a small kitchen and it's pretty hard for us to add sides because our steam table is only four feet, but we will try to do that in the near future. If we do i will post it on our calendar which you can access from our website. Thanks again.

thanks for the info. The exterior walls and roof is heavy gauge galvalume. And the porch is not enclosed. I do have a section that is not covered - after seeing this video that would probably be a good place to put the grill.

It's actually a covered porch on the second floor. I have an architectural firm on the first floor so our main living area starts on the second floor. It has a solid aluminum deck. It's quite large 12' x 36'. I have access to grills and smokers at my restaurant, but I want something that I can use at my house. Currently have a portable kitchen grill and it's ok, but i'm ready for an upgrade. BTW how is the quality of the grate on the BGE?

oval makes sense. Giving the wife a hint that buying me yet another grill is a good idea for fathers day. Although, I have large smokers, a percy pit and two knock off pery pits. I will use this grill for my personnel use, mainly direct cooking.

Thinking about buying a BGE for my balcony. Is BGE the best game in town or is it worth it to consider another manufacturer of ceramic grills?
re: Your BBQ grill may have more germs than a toilet seat

JEEZ I use my pits every week. My Grill temp is still very high after grilling . I clean my pit immediately after i use it, and every good pit-master does. Maybe the Brits should worry more about their dental hygene instead of a good pit-masters grill

re: Lets discuss beef jerky.....
Posted by boucanierejohnsons on 4/9/13 at 5:05 pm to AlaTiger
Jerky sales for 25-30 bucks a pound because first you trim it, then you brine it for three days, hang it and smoke for 6 hours, take it off of the racks, and then package it. It take three pounds to make one pound and it's labor intensive.

re: Has anyone ever put hummus on a hot dog?

its good on fries - freetown fries has an item on their menu with it on their fries. I think texture wise it might be a little awkward, just because of the processed nature of the meat, but let us know.
