Thanks for the spice ref. I need something like that, so I'm definitely going to pick it up. The sauce/rub is definitely the key to good slow cooked meat.

The pit bbq is amazing amounts of fun; I can't say enough about it. Its super easy, too, so its good for people like me who end up more intoxicated than is generally a good idea when cooking.

As for TNG, his choice, not ours!

In about 10 minutes I'm headed to a good ol' fashioned southern bbq. I'm the guy brining the veggie brats. -I NEVER thought I'd be that guy. As a guy that loves bbq, you're right it's all in the rub.

and you're also right, that it was all my choice. -Seriously second guessing that choice of late. Maybe I'll eat meat at the bbq? Could be the day.

Happy 4th guys, have fun.

NC bbq is among the best. That vinegar sauce is pretty hard to resist.

I forgot to mention, if you didn't know, when you smoke or cook lean meats like a big bird or whole pieces of fish, you want to brine them. It helps keep them nice and moist and gives you a longer cook time so that the flavors are more robust. I use a very simple guide from cooks illustrated. You can find the pdf here.
