Big Jim says, "learn to cook the meat first". Rubs, marinates and mops
don't make a poorly cooked piece of meat better. They just compound the
issue of "where did I go wrong"? Learn to cook the meat, then work on
rubs, marinates and mops. Great advice. I know it is great advice,
because I have followed it.

Thanks Big Jim.

And yea, he was high. So high, I think he over cooked them steaks..
